Undercoat looks great, will be even better when it's painted Only joking, I've always thought Simon's and Joe's V8s have suited that colour

Wheels look terrific. Are they lacquered or will you need to do lots of polishing?

[v8s4me]

Not another grey V8S with a red interior?! I'm not 'aving this

Seriously though, it's looking fantastic so stick at it and see you in Calais

[glenrobbo]

Looking superb there Darren

But you'd better get a windscreen fitted otherwise your grin will be plastered with dead flies!

When Glen? No screen = less weight and a more aerodynamic profile

Longers, you're beginning to sound a bit like Auto Andy!

The aerodynamic benefits resulting fron omitting the windscreen would be maximised by the driver pinning his ears back and wearing a spandex lycra helmet. ( Something resembling the gimp mask that S Club initiates have to wear at the induction ceremony. )


Don't worry Darren, it's totally painless.....







As long as you don't struggle.

Baby oil?

We generally use CV grease.
It makes for a better airtight seal when the sink plunger is brought into play.

Glen, Play nicely, that Cv grease is a pig to get off!

We are well aware of that Darren.

That's why we use the ceremonial full length purple rubber gauntlets.



But fear not, as TurboTony can confirm, the subsequent rub down by the ladies with soft moist baby wipes is a not altogether unpleasant experience.

And you do get a cup of Ovomaltine* and a rich tea biscuit afterwards


* This is a continental beverage that comes in powder form in handy sachets.
v8s4me has tried it and is convinced by the appearance and the taste that it is really a form of Radweld and therefore keeps a few spare sachets in his toolbox. ( Just in case. )

I personally think it has beneficial effects for the G.T.S. members in reducing leakage during longer sectors of the S Club Euro tours between "coffee stops".
