New V8V Owner Saying Hello

[Manx V8V]

Hi all, I've been lurking in the background since I bought my 4.3 V8V a couple of months ago, and have finally got around to registering.

I've already picked up some great tips on here, for example I ordered the anti rattle sleeves for my airbag unit a couple of weeks ago, and fitted them yesterday, big improvement there!!

This my first AM and will be a weekend fun car, I'm really fortunate to live on the Isle of Man, right on the TT course so you can imagine which 37.75 mile route I have been taking on every dry weekend up to now as I've slowly bonded with the car and put some miles on it to check for any issues!!

I'm really enjoying ownership, and also the vast amount of information on the forum, I was pretty brave and bought the car blind from a Midlands dealer, having it delivered to the ferry at Liverpool where I picked it up, it does have a couple of minor niggles which are being sorted this week, but the dealer is covering the cost of this for me at a local indie, and generally I seem to have found a good one.

Here she is earlier today, I only needed some milk but took the long way round to the shop : )
