Managed to take some pictures this weekend. They're still not great as it was a rather crowded car park and I was nervous about the kids playing with a ball near by

Do the feelings of fear for your car ever subside ?!

We had a mini family TVR convoy (sad I know), but it was a lot of fun, especially on the home run when I was driving the Cerbera and spotting all the people oggling my V8S in front (don't tell Mr BC that though - he's still under the illusion that Cerberas are the more stylish )

Had a fantastic drive, they're pretty quick these cars aren't they

Very nice Mrs BC.

What kind of wheels are those? Quite like them but don't fancy cleaning them.

Move car or kids. My paranoia Hans`t gone yet and my cars not as nice as yours
As for kids , a couple of years ago I returned to my Espace to find a kid up a tree in front of my car and a big wet FOOTPRINT on my bonnet. Needless to say the moron parent said it wasn`t her child , she didn`t ask the child she just defended it. No blame society.
Had it been my child I would have given him a clip round the ear and offered to pay for any damage.

Wheels are of a pre-cat griff..... Oz Split Rimms.... a bugger to keep clean, but look the nuts all clean and shiny.

Nice looking car that!!

On the subject of fear, i live in constant worry about my car. It's parked outside the house at night (there is nowhere to keep it undercover around) and so far had all valve caps pinched, a 10" scratch down the side and the wingmirrors snapped off twice. If only there was effective policing these days... can't catch vandalism and theft on a gatso can you?

I went and sat on the floor right in the middle of their pitch, got the picnic rug out and deposited my two kids on it to eat their ice-creams. That kind of put an end to their game !

Thanks Pies

Actually, I had a random email last week via PH from someone called RubyV8S. I'm a bit confused as it just said something about his email address changing. Sounds like he'd sent me a previous email which I hadn't received.

Anyway, small amount of detective work and I reckon he must be a previous owner. Does that make any sense to anyone ? And does anyone know him or have the right email address for him ?

I'm not sure they ever made it as far as the kitchen Alan. House has been relegated in favour of garage now. He'll be carpeting it before too long.

If it was RubyV8S's car, I remember a photo of the car being in Sprint a while ago. I can send you a few more photos if you like?

yes please, yes please

I know I've got the real thing sitting out in the garage, but I just can't get enough of it !!

I've just had another email from RubyV8S. It was indeed his car, prior to the guy that I bought it from. Any idea what issue of Sprint it was in ?

I thought I'd just incorporate it into the kids bedtime teeth-cleaning routine. Do their teeth, then get them to take their toothbrushes out to the garage to do the wheels.

Any recommendations of what products to use for wheel cleaning ??

It's good to see a few more pictures of your pride and joy Mrs BC. It looks really good in the picture provided by PIES.

Is the interior and underbonnet just as spotless?

Thank you !

Interior is excellent. Under the bonnet ?? Whats in there then ?? No, seriously, it looks good to me , nice and clean and tidy (come on, I'm a bird !).

My husband took a peek and said something like "mmmmmm, nice". Is that good then ?

Hi Penny,
Looks a great car Penny glad you are happy with it!

Penny on another note, would you mind asking Jeremy if he would mind donating a set of Shiny nuts for our Charity raffle???? I could phone him but feel it might be better coming from you?

Enjoy the car anyway, wont be long before the other arf is asking to drive the V8S all the time, for the grin factor they cant be beaten

Later

Mike
