I sat here with amusement recently and read posts about people picking up there new cars, which gave a right kick up the arse and go buy me a new motor...


A 500 Chimaera none the less.

Well, 4 tanks a petrol later, the neighbours hate me (wait till the Sports Exhaust goes on in a couple of weeks time !!) the mrs thinks i've deserted her and my son said to me "wheres my daddy gone ??"

I still have a huge grin on my face, of course i'm still waiting for my world to fall apart and call the AA, but till then i'm glad to be back in to the V8 fold...

it creates its own sunshine but i'm always greatful for days like today

It's one of those nights
When you turn out the lights
And you sit in the dark
And say to yourself
I miss her

It's one of those moods
When your body broods
And you conjure up her picture
And you kiss her

It's one of those things
For the pain it brings
You say to yourself
Hey couldn't I live without it?
Well I think so
On the other hand,
I doubt it

Suddenly she's crashing through my mind
Like waves upon the shore
And I nod my head whoa yes love
I'd welcome you again
If you knocked upon my door
If you didn't I'd seek you out love
I'd track you down for sure
Like a thousand times before
Whoa yes love
I'd welcome you again
Like you know I've done before

Yes love
You know I did before
Yes love
You know I did before

So it goes
It's a cold in your nose
It's a pain in the neck
It'll make you a wreck
If it gets ya

It's so insane
Cuz for all the rain
When you ask yourself
Could you do it again
You betcha

I hear a voice say
You got no chance
And it makes me mad
And I shout
Oh yeah who says so?
Well of course not
On the other hand,
I think so

Suddenly she's crashing through my mind
Like waves upon the shore
And I nod my head whoa yes love
I'd welcome you again
If you knocked upon my door
If you didn't I'd seek you out love
I'd track you down for sure
Like a thousand times before
Whoa yes love
I'd welcome you again
Like you know I did before

Yes love
You know I did before
Yes love
You know I did before
Yes love
You know I did before

I have become suddenly very popular (with freinds and petrolheads) and very unpopular (with neighbours) since the acquisition of my (standard exhaust) 500. However 4 houses up from me there is a lad in his late 20's who has a Griff 500 AND a red-rose Tusc!!.

Even I hate him!

Nice one! Welcome to the club…

I'm currently expected a noise abatement order from a few villages I drive through on the way to work (setting car alarms off at 6am )… and even a few of the neighbours have commented they hear my arrive from a couple of miles away

Enjoy it, and keep checking the oil and water, service her regularly (fnarr!) and make sure she's nice and warm before you give it some pie, and the grin will last for a long time.
