No, Benno has more money than the Sultan of Bahrain

The best bit is that I have been promised a drive in it!!!

Back to the ,main issue here I took the Tamora to TMS today and I was spot on with yeaterdays diagnosis, the oil pressure sender had popped it's seal so it was a quick 5 minute job to replace it, had a fabulous drive with the roof down and stopped at a pub for lunch too

Sorry to disappoint you Benno, but no re-build yet


Excellent weather, shame it's going to end tomorrow

perhaps more money than sense, certainly less money than the sultan as suggested.

Good choice Benno! Must congratulate you on your choice!

I suspect, with benno being a Sultan and all, that he will be heard, driving spiritedly around the english countryside, listening to a bit of the old Dire Straits!!!

"We are the Sultans, we are the sultans of swing!!"

Are those piccies of the car you are buying???

NICE!!

I wonder if "The Sultan of Berkshire" is going to be as forthcoming with his servicing bills as he was with the Porker??

Thanks for your observations Rodders....

The window played up again yesterday and stuck down inside the door, managed to get my fingers in and prize it out

Judging by the picture the Sultan's new Fezza only has diddy little 17" wheels....

whats this about the drooping window and the oil leak then Flash??

best get the leak fixed before you take the car to Le Mans I can see the picture now, lots of stricken oil covered wildlife on the cornish coast. BBC news 'the exact cause of the leak is still to be determined as there were no large vessels in the area with the exception of the portsmouth st Malo ferry', a brittany ferries representitive was quoted 'well there was this little yellow sportscar at the back of the boat with a broken window....that seemed to be dripping a bit...'

I am off to buy myself a ferrari flag and a schumi t-shirt in time to watch my team triumph this afternoon.

Benno - Magnum PI?


Flasher - I have just come back from the Lake District in the Tamora, Went through Kirkstone pass, littered with motorcycle fairings on the rocks - oops.


The car performed superbly, couldn't fault it. The wife's hair was vertical after the trip up there with the roof off!



Wherever it was parked it created a crowd of onlookers.
Even a line of three VW campers gave me the `no worries' sign, better than the normal two fingers.


The roads up there are made for driving a TVR
