Her she is........

[brioss]

After one week of ownership I can now display her to a you all.
V8S with full hide and heated seats amongest several other mods. Last night I fitted new rear lights and today I have been busy scubbing her up.

The rear was grubby and covered in soot from the exhaust, a little T cut has done wonders on the rear. I still waiting on new number plates and number plates lights.

I hopeing to head down to the Herts meet tomorrow, so say hello. Off now to start on the interior.

That car has 'all the right bits' for sprinting, something to think about once you've got used to it?

I'm sure Adrian is sad to see her go .... nice car.

Yes, I jope I can make. Look forward to seeing you and your S. I did catch a glance on my way Dream machines a few weeks ago, you were heading in the opposite direction. It looks a cracker !

Thanks, if you are interested, I am joining the Mid Essex convoy somewhere along the route, probably on the M25, as you seem to be down this way, do you fancy meeting before hand and joining the noise??

What? - all those years of ownership and I never realised I was driving a "she" - never mind one requiring a good scrub of the backside!

Delighted to find that she/he/it has found a caring home. It was a near tearful departure - although picking up the replacement (Griff 500) on Saturday is helping me cope with that trauma.

Cheers

One door closes and another one opens Adrian, shame to have to go down market to achieve it though :hehe.

Srubbing the backside is great but the real fun is the drive and the noise. I look forward to meeting you when you aquire the Griff, you can take me for a blast.

Kevin the previous , previous owner has been in touch to. Looks like its had great care over the year.

Keep in touch.

I know what you mean! The V8S is definitely not a lesser beast. For a start the new Griff is just too damm quiet! - although I guess that can easily be rectified!

Having said that, the 500 (at least as tweaked by V8 Developments & Mr Adams) is massively quick - I've never driven a car that requires such a deep breath before unleashing full throttle.

Brian - would love to meet up and see the old girl when you've finished fettling. I never managed to catch up with Keith, so perhaps we should aim for a three way reunion!

Cheers

Adrian,

Nice to see that your V8S is staying in the "S club."
Brian will have a lot of fun with that car.
Shame it got dirty after all that time he spent cleaning it. At least the roof was down.
I look forward to seeing your new toy.

Roy
