    Default New here, prospective owner!

    Hi everyone! Some familiar names on here and some may know me from other places.
    My long held ambition hopefully is soon to be realised as a result of the recent Cosford gathering, when one of the V8s pulled off in front of us, just outside the gate at the end of the meeting. Mrs L was about to vent some expletives when the car in front sat down on its rear bumper, gave a roar and disappeared! Mrs L said "Wow! I fancy one of those!"
    So 5 years of pleading was as nothing compared to 5 seconds of thunder.
    The search is now on.
    It will go on LPG, of course. I have the kit waiting!

    I've been at it 12 years so may have picked up a little by now, but don't count on it!

    It was just outside the main gate, pulling off from the side of the road. So safe from the Sheriff. I can't even remember the colour (so probably silver (oops!)), as I was looking at the twin exhausts at the time.

    Questions will no doubt follow.

    Bernard, if you change your mind and could cope with a manual, I have an xpower grey SE with black int that will be up for sale!
    Keep it on the road!

    Please do not tempt me! Especially if it's a pre-face lift in non boy-racer colour.

    Zeb, I don't love you any more!

    I still don't know who took off in front of us at Cosford. I owe you!

    On a serious note Bernard, if you are concerned about the harder ride, don't be...I have a Scholl heated car seat and back massager in the 190 for the long journeys and with that in, I can't tell much difference from the 75....except it goes around corners properly of course!
