As some of those at the Essex meet last Sunday will know, my baby crossed the Thames but wasn't quite right. A case of a winter cold I thought, not firing properly and whilst not terminal still requiring a trip to the doctor. Just collected after a couple of days of tender care. Yep, prob with temp sensor and Lambda, now sorted and bloody hell what a difference. The car now drives like all the "Jigs" of hell are after it. Just goes to show what you get used to. My car has probably been poorly for weeks, but its only now its fully back on song that I can appreciate it. I must admit I put the below par performance down to cold wet weather. What a load of crap, just needed tweeking. I LOVE MY CAR

It's Aston Martin Venezian Blue with portland/pacific blue interior. Oh, the alarm is ginger (as you can see !! )

Blimey you had a Boxster too - I had one in 99 but sold it (divorce ) I thought it was quick until I bought my first TVR.

Thinking of selling at the moment (was up on ads for a few days but had 2nd thoughts) - now I've seen a T350 I really like so I'm now having 3rd thoughts

<thread hijack> Rick - got wheels and invoice through today - thanks!! </thread hijack>.

That t350c looks especially nice too. Not sure I'd swap though, given your position. Is there that much difference (that a set of Nitrons couldn't fix)?

Darren.

Yep, they're spot on. Didn't get any 'unwanted interest' either . I've sold my 16's so I hope they fit too - I can see an angle grinder being used on the arches if they don't!

Understand where you're coming from Lady T.

15 months on I still get a huge buzz every time I get inside her. (If you'll excuse the expression.)
