Pining! (Clutch and suspension upgrades coming).
Discussion
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?

I'd agree with Molly mate, best thing I ever did was leaving my car at BR for a week. As I quite often state, "best automotive decision I ever made". I'm waiting for my clutch to go, then it'll be back in for the twin plate and flywheel. It's in very, very safe hands (apart from being in close proximity to Yeti's motor, which may make you habitually hungry and buy watches).

Mark I sent you a Pm reference the work you have had done on your P+J . Not sure if you got it but I would like to know what aspects you think are really worthwhile . Cheers DarrenNealCS said:

C'mon Neal....how many green DB9s do you know with a DBS bonnet ???The car practically lives there
You probably saw Mikey's nail there too

I doubt Lewis will care but good of you to offer to remove the picture. As has been said, many people here will recognise the green machine without seeing the plate.

Naw, of course not. Nice to see it, we spent a few hours together at Rockingham and then it was whisked away again for more fiddling ready for Le Mans 
The colour gets me every time... Chiltern Green is a stunning shade
