General Car Chat / Nice compliment from the "Old Bill"
« on: 19 February 2020, 21:46:40 »
Got turned around on the way to work this morning as an arctic had left one of the fen roads I use and road was too narrow to squeeze by, the older PC asked "is that a V8?" I replied yes it is he replied " it sounds fantastic & then to the younger PC said "that's a proper mans car" Made my day as I turned around & accelerated away with a fantastic V8 burble.😁

General Car Chat / Straight pass.
« on: 11 February 2020, 12:49:47 »
MOT for the Subaru this morning straight pass with no advisories,
mind it's a 2005 with only 39,000 miles from new so didn't think there would be much wrong with it, they are built to last though.

SWMBO & myself attended our speed awareness course this morning & I've got to say I really enjoyed it much more humorous than 10 years ago when I last attended one two excellent tutors, took SWMBO for lunch afterwards & then into Peterborough to choose her new watch for Christmas.

General Car Chat / First outing towing with the Range Rover Sport
« on: 06 October 2019, 08:43:21 »
In the Lake District at present haven't been this way for over 20 years (Derwenidioter) the Range Rover towed perfectly much superior to the trusty Terracan, slightly heavier on fuel 22mpg compared to 26mpg from the Hyundai but much more comfortable and the auto box is superb + the V8 soundtrack all in all very happy 😎
