Can I just say, yet again, how much after nearly 8 years I bloody love my car...

God we've had our moments but this morning after a few days of no use I took it on the motorway and floored it.

The N54 is a marvel, THAT SOUND at full chat.

On my way back to the UK and been down thro Germany - the car gave me goose bumps when I floored it on the Autobahn - the noise was like a wailing banshee at high speed! Top down as well :thumbsup:

The downside is that back in dear old Blighty this sort of fun = Ban / Fine / Jail
Adjust your own speed to qualify for your appropriate reward from the crown!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

There's a problem here. Your going to the Bedruthan steps and no room for a surf board. :?

Don't worry though, I'm sure the Zed will make up for it. :driving:

I followed the car GPS, ended up all over the place, St Eval was on the route. Lovely twisty roads most of the way.
