Drove back to London, after a couple of days at home. Passed a Range Rover , which had assumed the position, and thought please let me stay away from getting a lift, just a little longer.
Probably jinxed it now :(

I was half expecting it, but if it worked would of saved £105 so worth the gamble, its not as if dealing with a bit of pipe work is an issue for me .

Amazing to think she used to work!! :p:D
 
I've been dreaming of getting the RR back and running, I'm back home from work next week so I'll be off to scrapyards to see if there are any good engines. Once the RR is running, I can then get my garage destroyed and rebuild it in a steel frame building :D

Drove it up a dual carriageway every day to work(s) and was amazed at its road manners and the MPG 25mpg I got from it :cool: mind you that was a steady GPS 56mph :cool:

Around town I got 17 so not too bad :D

Anyway anyone who has driven a Post 1999 P38 will know how good the handling is for such a barge - locked in M-way mode and corners are a dream..

Anywhoo on a dual carriageway approaching a roundabout , going right so i indicate so..
Nissan Pathfinder pulls up in the left lane, I assume he's going left or straight on :rolleyes:
How wrong I was He was going right too :mad: cut right infront of me the **** anchored up just shy of hitting the bastard.

Go back round the 2nd time and think eh I'll catch the ****. - round I go and just before the exit, I throttle it, amazing the front lft wheel starts to spin but TC kicked in and it lept off :cool:

think the MPG dropped off trying to catch the bastard.

never found him but was good fun trying :D that V8 though :cool: and handling Hmm

Anyway rambling over!!


Oh look an interior!!
