Spotted red V8S (?) A1M between Sandy & Stevenage

[paul-wh]

Nearly came a cropper in Sandy when I first saw you in my rear view mirror. I put the hazards on to let you know I had seen you and some numpty in a side turning decided that I had done that to tell them to pull out of a side turning right in front of me!!! Had to brake suddenly to avoid rear-ending them.

Lovely sound from that V8 as you went past and nice flame out the back of the exhaust.

I think you may find that was V8Smith.

He's moving to the Gatwich area from St.Neots, I'm sure he'll post something once his computer is up and running

Cheers Mr Sheen,

It possibly was as the car I saw had a roll cage fitted and there were a couple of pot plants on the passenger seat.

Being green wasn't one of my remits when tweaking the car .
Pies must be green though as its standard .

Hi Paul,
Yes that was me, yes saw the numpty pull out in front of you??? My Tiv was completely full, even had a few house plants in the footwell, I threw away another three plants as the wife wanted me to put them on the seat, I drew the line there!!!

Nice blast down the A1 when the road cleared, glad you liked the noise, pre cat you gotta love it! And you saw my little flame thrower, yes does that a lot on the over run.....nice! My wife was following me in the A8, she saw the flames and thought there was something wrong

Nice Griff BTW, is it one of the limited edition ones?

So down south from now on so anyone who wants to meet, let me know.

Later

Mike

Hi Mike,

Good to drive with you albeit for a little while. I wouldn't mind a flame thrower too but I guess that is a decat feature.

Yep, the Griff is one of the LE's. No 54 of 100. I got it in March this year as I missed the V8 sound when I swapped to the Tuscan from the Chimaera and had to swap back to a V8.

Enjoy the south.

S Collective : Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take a picture of the flames exiting an S.

Our first agent, Mr Sheen, failed in this task due to the over-exuberant hooning of his wheel-man, V8Smith. V8Smith has been banished to the traffic-hell of the home counties. Mr Sheen's shammy-leather has been confiscated.

Wildfire allegedly has a vid of my V8S flaming in the Hatfield tunnel on the way to the Silverstone S meet. He's not uploaded it yet as far as I know as he is temporarily PC less. Chris - any news?
