Must have watched this clip 15 times now smile

I just love the sound of a great V8, and that is such a great V8. And I quite like the idea of Kristin Scott Thomas...in a Dutch cap. Not sure how relevant that is, just thought I'd give a view.

Mine is booked in at BR for the end of the month, getting excited already

Thank you for your kind remarks. Here's another (earlier) effort at capturing the sound of the V8S. Hadn't bothered putting it on before because I swear the Ford Ka that goes by in the video is louder - but hey - I hope (pray!) I'm wrong!!

Fantastic Molly. Amazing how deceptively fast 59mph can look on a video. wink

Speeding , I don't think so! Still can't work out why I have now had 6 replacement tyres in 10,00 miles .

Mrs K & I commented on that very fact as I launched my S round this laugh

Mine has just past 7k miles today and I'm on my original rears with ~2mm before the wear indicators
Rob you must be a mentalist to do a set of rears in half the mileage it takes me!
