After 19k Miles in a V8V...

[Mark2008]

Help... I've now done 19k miles from new in my V8V 4.3 Roadster but what I thought would never happen is starting to happen... I'm starting to get a bit bored with it. Oh no!

I've even had fuse 22 out again for the past couple of K but it's just not doing it for me any more.

What to do?

First read pommehogster's thread...then call Mike at Bamford Rose, he will solve your problem.

Buy a 4.7 Roadster. Job done!

[Jockman]

That's the trouble with Roadsters.......you grow out of them.

Get yourself a coupe now that your flamboyant days are behind you, and I think you now need a V12 - 4.7 just won't do it.

Perhaps a DB9

that's not such a daft idea.....why dont you try a manual DB9 with a sports pack....with or without a roof

Go test drive a Vantage S Roadster!
Don't blame me though if you spend a lot of money trading in your 4.3 and buying the S.

When I test drove one I was banned from taking any credit cards with me so I couldn't leave a deposit.

I was giving you the 10k option not the 60k one as suggested by Neil

Wow who would have thought people would say this about a Porsche,how things change.

Sorry, but this topic reminds me a bit of Billy Joel getting bored of Christie Brinkley or Hugh Grant getting bored of Liz Hurley. I guess the ol' adage "Show me the most beautiful girl in the world, and I'll show you a guy who's tired of having sex with her." rings true for some with their cars too.

Take her on a track and give her a spanking, will renew your love for her.

I met Christie Brinkley once. Billy is a very silly man...

To 'Yeti' a car is actually a proper verb on this forum.

In much the same way as 'to semi-retire' is a proper verb too
