Another fantastic day down here in Poole so thought i would get out & about for a cruise alternated with a blast now & again. Route took me first to Hengisbury Head, then out through Christchurch, Burley, Ringwood & back to Poole. Roads were very quiet, didn't see any nice metal about. Stopped at Burley to take some pictures, here they are.

Some of my favourite places you've just listed there! Not been down there for a few years but hoping to have a few days there this summer. Hopefully in a chim if I can find a suitable one to replace my last 450

TVR Thunder, sorry can't help, the lights were already fitted, although at that time only as pods. I have just had the car resprayed & had the lights faired in at the same time, but no idea how much it would cost just for that.

I have followed your thread about that car Tuscan666, have you actually bought it yet?
Looks good, makes sense buying a car like that if plenty of work has gone into it & to a good standard, much cheaper than getting a ropey one & sorting it out yourself.

That's Picket Post isn't it? Did you pass through the tunnel under the a31 too? smile. I'm in Southampton but regularly end up in that direction when visiting friends and family - good roads for pootling around in the sunshine and appreciating the V8 rumble!

Do bits fall off your car regularly?

What bits would those be?
Strange question, but the answer is no, never.

Ah, it was a weak attempt at number plate based humour.

Ah, get you. Strangely, I left the bit of grass hump in the pics to avoid that comment smile
