The sun is out and I'm pining for my V8Roadster 4.3 which is at Bamford Rose waiting for the twinplate clutch and switchable suspension upgrade - mandatory picture below (at Hartwell House Hotel on the way up to BR):




I always feel so special and exclusive driving it - came as a bit of a shock to see so many stacked up at BR -including some MUCH more impressive cars I will not name:



Can't wait for Friday - Mike has offered a familiarisation on the track at Millbrook when I pick her up… should look the same on the outside, (barring new tyres and a scratch-fix) but driving ought to be a new experience.

I hope I'm not nuts spending so much on a seven year old car - fingers crossed it feels amazing!

Oooops - they warned me not to include number plates to identify any customer's car - but V12Woollie you have rather given the game away!

Yeti please let me know if you want the pic removed - and BTW if that is your car I really, really like the colour combination - the green on green with cream is lovely - I thought mine was my favourite until I saw yours. Not so sure now!


It's traditional for BR projects to have a name isn't it? I don't think mine has - maybe you need to be upping the power more (I get about 20 extra BHP from modding the catalyst) or perhaps "pimping" the outside or interior too to get a name for your project?

Aha -well it'll be keeping mine company -sadly delayed- I'm on the bicycle this weekend! Sure it'll be worth the wait.

-Chiltern Green - well it looks really great in the flesh... Maybe if I ever get a re-spray... Though I think it needs the light interior to really set it off.
