Since first starting up the V8S 5 months ago, and cautiously edging out of the drive on tenterhooks, Ive covered a stonking 3500 miles since July, and driving a car feels normal now


Learning to drive in a V8S was definitely the most fun I have ever had I feel so much more confident on the roads, everything just falls into place over time, and thinking about whats up ahead on the road has become much less stressful and far more enjoyable. Best moments are too many to count, every excursion brings grins

Had to tie my wallet down a few times, to prevent it from committing suicide in the night but overall it's been well worth it I cant imagine life without a car, only wished I had joined the club sooner!

Heres to another 3500 miles (with no more bills!!)

Cant do it, they'd push my £/mile cost up into double figures

Ted had a site problem a few weeks back after the hacking incident but I thought it was all sorted now.

Cheers Rob
I've been a bit quiet recently as it's year end with goals to finish between all the work which is usually urgent anyway by the time it gets to me.

Congrats on the milestone, I think you've done more miles than I have in nearly 3 years!

Mines tucked up in the garage for the winter and now I can get going on the little jobs that need doing.

Wow, you need to get out in it more! Personally, I could never lock my S away. After working 12/14 hour days I need a reward, winters are gloomy as it is - having my pride and joy all locked up for half the year just wouldnt work for me.
