Shmee150 buys back his V8 Vantage

[Wobbly]

Tim used to be a regular poster in the AM forum.

That’s cool he got his Vantage back after all these years. AM’s they are special cars. You know what they say, you always remember your first.

Ah, good for him.

I knew Tim before he became Shmee, not best pals or anything but we spoke a few times. He's a nice guy, the vitriol thrown his way on here and other forums is misguided at best.

Happy travels Tim! See if you can spot me at LHR on a roundabout again :-)

Also met Tim a couple of times when he was looking at and subsequently got his Vantage a long time ago now, nice chap - knows his stuff and clearly very business savvy.

I seem to remember him posting on here years ago in several car finance threads, asking questions about moving from S5 into this vantage i think?

Cool story, bet we all have a car we'd love to own again

I'd love the chance to buy my old C63 coupe back - RV13 EXX - one day...

The owner in 2019 was a chancer.
Submitted for MoT with two catalytic converters missing. Result FAIL.

Oops. Sorry to whoever it was. That was my doing!

Had secondary cats removed at MSL - opens up the factory sounds just a little louder without becoming OTT.

Sometimes just the innards are removed, then happy MoT tester. -

Yes - i *think* that's what i was looking for - "gutting" the cats? It was a long time ago though so perhaps they cut them out and replaced with pipe
