V8s here i come !

[shmern]

An mentioned on the 'Scotland or bust' Thread.

Im soon to be the owner of a V8s !!! <crowd goes wild>

Im from Northern Ireland, and the car is in Bournemouth, so flying over Saturday morning (From Dublin) picking up car and because of some issues with booking the return boat, Im having to drive to Cairnryan (450+ miles ), to get back again, bit worried about making it for the Saturday night sailing at 20:00 as I probably won't leave Bournemouth until 11:00am, and what with the Bank Holiday weekend traffic and Premiership matches..

So booked on the 7.30am boat back on Sunday morning to Norn Iron.

Wish me luck !!

I know the feeling, worse than being 6 years old, with another bloody week till xmas day arrives

Print off pics of all the V8S's, and carry them around with you, studying them at every available opportunity. It helped me pass the time

I'm chatting to Shmern on MSN while he sits in the airport I went on the original "road trip" to pick up the V6 so I'm with him in spirit.

Looking forward to the emailed pictures and sound effects!

Have a great trip!
