Well,i've been and done it. Took the 'RO to have a new Clutch Slave Cylinder and saw this outside;







What followed was a blur of Facts,Figures,Form Filling and looking round the Dash of a Car that looks like the Bridge of the USS Enterprise.
A swipe of the Card,a Handshake and it's "Well Done,Dave. Enjoy your new Car."

See you at the Ace on Sunday ?

Wow, like the cut of your jib! That's the sort of stupid thing I would do.

Nice motor BTW

I was going to call to say that you were spot on ref the Slave Cylinder on the Monaro. Pentagon took it in and sorted it with no bother.

The Deal came about after a "Sod It,we only pass this way the once" Moment.

Yes, that's the old press car then. £40k? I would guess that Vx would have made sure it was especially well screwed together, and that it was checked over every time it went back to Luton.

I remember seeing Tom Walkinshaws old E2. Like yours, they look much better in the flesh, than in pictures.

does that make us "special" in a Matt Damon kinda way or is it just a petrolhead sort of thing.
