AMV8 Roadster or Coupe, Sportshift or Manual

[bigeckfaetherigs]

Tony/CK,

Really looking forward to joining "The Club" and you have no idea the hours from my life I have used up trawling the internet and forums sponging what information I can. Already ordered the "Fuse 22" remote switch kit & the 3/4 size number plates (for my 5 digit private plate) and am planning my US shopping trip in October for some carbon fibre details.

Be sure pics will be posted soon and hopefully the trip up to Aberdeen will be flash bulb free from the way too many fixed speed camera's!!

Congrats on getting one. In the market myself now, want a 4.7 Coupe, Manual. Any colour except the dark ones. Hopefully won't be waiting too long.

OH YEAH!! 550 mile drive and "Anne" is now parked up in her new home in Aberdeen.

Jon39 - good point, however I may be preoccupied pushing the noisy pedal - a lot!!!

A lot eh?
More than 10 seconds worth of 'a lot', equals 100 mph.

Congratulations on your new purchase. I know that you will enjoy all aspects of ownership. Looking forward to seeing your photographs.

Well that's almost a week now of what can only be described as some of the most enjoyable (16.9mpg avg) driving I have ever had in a car. The noisy pedal has really been worked a lot and I am now learning a few tricks of how to drive a Sportshift smoothly thanks to the Forums - blip of the throttle between gear changes when using the paddles, clutch learning mode etc. Went to pick up my son from drama the other night and was 10 minutes early so decided to take out Fuse 22 to see what all the fuss was about -- MMMmmmnn lets just say it has not been put back - well it actually got dropped into the recess' of the boot and is gone forever I fear. Never mind, soon as the rest of the "ebay remote switch kit" arrives it will be fitted for the odd necessary stealth mode drive by!!

"Anne" is booked in to get detailed tomorrow and pictures will follow over the weekend in all of her pristine glory.

Ooooo, someone has named their car after me. I feel like the Queen!

As promised some pictures of "Anne" just having been detailed both inside and out - hope you like them.
