My 'New' Car

[Elton]

Apologies for the noise if you live within about 30-miles of my house, but I picked up my 'new' car at the weekend:

 

 

11-second clip I took from inside, just so I could hear what it sounded like when I got my hearing back:

Have your neighbours tried to kill you yet?

[Elton]

One commented that when he saw it parked on the road, it made him think the Mafia had turned up, so I guess I'm safe for now

[Newt]

A great looking ride Elton.

 

The police may give you speeding tickets when you are stopped at a light but who cares. :D

[Sportsman]

Well, if you intend to drive that on the road at least you'll never get done for speeding.

The police will be stopping you every hundreds yards

 

I had a brother in law (from Essex) who had a Ford Capri with a body kit that made it look like a batmobile. He got rid of it because every policeman that saw it stopped it on principle

Ha ha! love it! Do you have your own fuel tanker following you around?

[Elton]

The Old Bill are used to cars like this round here, as the annual show in Ipswich attracts about 1500 of them. I may get a tug, I suppose, but it's all above board, so that doesn't bother me too much. The police at South Mimms had a good look when I passed them whilst going in for some petrol, but didn't seem too concerned

 

Janet - the pink is a similar shade to my beach shelter

 

I drove it at 50-ish back from Wootton Bassett (I need to check how accurate the speedo is, as I have my doubts, so was keeping nice and slow) and got 25mpg. Not bad for a 4-litre V8 with a chuffin' great Holley carb on it

Crikey, Wootton Bassett is about three miles from here, you should have popped in for a cuppa!
