Joolz gives Barbie a damn good seeing to...

[Emley]

Barbie recieved her first service and MoT under my ownership, and a damn fine Joospeed experience it was.



Car feels great, exhaust looks and sounds ace.

Touch wood, another 12 months of Cheap-as-Chimps, trouble free and pleasurable TVR motoring ahead.

Thanks again guys and see you next year...

Barbie also got her hands on some lovely shiny nuts... more later...

Saw your car in Joolz's a couple of times last week - Barbie was looking lovely & shiny.

[joospeed]

Thanks for that Andrew, you're a great customer too

Apologies I was a bit rushed when you came to collect, hopefully speaking to Vicky was more than enough compensation though

best wishes, Joo.

ditto - also offered to give your Tuscan a clean as I was mooching around

Loved the colour of the chim, looked mint as well. Lovely

Barbie. Why Barbie? I dont think Barbie's a name for a TVR. You need to change the name by Deed poll

[rude girl]

If it's the one I saw last week, then probably because it's pink. An absolutely delicious pink at that!

Geeze... it got two coats of polish last weekend. Joolz must've been out in it doing doughnuts and burnouts in the Tesco's car park.

[rude girl]

Ah JSG, you aren't pushing the right buttons then - he rang me today to say that he'd polished a scratch out of mine for me



Hmm, lots of people have been nice to me this week, I must be slipping!

Nearly put the scratch back into it reversing past it this evening.

james was trying to see if his new splitter added downforce in reverse as well as forwards

Being supergirlyengineerytype, I could have answered that easily..

Not as much downforce as he'd have felt if he'd have hit it

Gracious colleagues from the office dubbed her Barbie, and it stuck. one comment from a particular QS was
"My God, it's not just pink, it is PINK and glittery"





Anyway Rude Girl, will you promise me one thing?

If you ever contemplate a chariot change, please please PLEASE give me first refusal on that gorgeous Griff of yours.

Regards

Emley

You rotten fibber!

Joolz, car's absolutely planted at 70+ now, will wait for daylight & the weekend to venture into proper triple figure tests. Looks like the price should've been more like £90 from what Krusty paid, too...

[rude girl]

Emley, those pics don't do your car justice. I'm not normally a fan of 'unusual' colours, but that one really grabbed me. It's stunning. Did Joolz tell you that I spent about 10 minutes underneath it with an inspection lamp? Listen chap - you don't get out enough, it's almost as shiny underneath as it is on top!

Well I'm honoured that you like it, considering how you keep your own car. [needlessinnuendo] It's my interior that most people fall for [/needlessinnuendo] - indeed that's what made me buy it.

It's bloody ridiculous, getting an emotional attachment to a car, isn't it? But I do love it!

Pics never do it justice
Digital and conventional negative film just dosn't seem to resolve the metal flake (glitter) effect. Sometimes they come out Red, sometimes Pink, Sometimes cack brown.

I must try some tranny film and see if I have any more luck.

Are you having your seats re-trimmed in the same colour? It looked pretty good to me as it is.

[kojak69]

I know i've mentioned it to you before Corinne, but your 'pretty' griff does look good. I think the colour combination is spot on.
