Hi guys So after 8 enjoyable years of esprit v8 ownership, I thought it was time to go for something more modern. Original plan was to go for an evora s, then I saw the 400 in the flesh & drove it, then dipped further into the piggy bank. Totally in love & impressed with her so far

My theory was... If it managed to achieve 100,000 + plus miles, then it must be a good un'.!

But pretty much every moving part rebuilt or replaced within the last 20,000 miles

Does this symptom occur every time you accelerate in higher gears, or is it sporadic ?

So roughly twice the price of the one Chris Evans bought from him !

Magnolia leather & carpets, but I changed the carpet to blue! -
Might be stretching the boundaries but I cut all the grass/tidy communal areas in our cul-de-sac It keeps it looking tidier than if we relied on our local council!

Bit too far for me, but hope you guys have a great time & take plenty of pics

Aside from all the apple shortfalls listed above, I just find their user interface BORING! at least with android the options for personalisation are endless

Nice car, John, you just need to get yourself down to sports direct & buy suitable attire for when you drive it

I need to make some tweaks to the engine in my boat, small block chevy, it's running way too rich at idle speed. Don't know if I'm computer literate enough to have a go myself though !

Yep agreed, sounds like stat. Mine runs at 85 - 87℃ in average conditions -
There's another thread in this section where someone has used twin seals with success, all the relevant part no's are listed.. One of mine has started leaking so I'm gonna try this option

In my early days, I came home to find the tank full of tiny white bugs that were swimming around. It turns out I was chronically overfeeding the fish, oops

Nope not me

Well I'm guessing we're a bit more sophisticated down here on the south coast

So is it only the 4cyl cars that have the undertray ? My v8 doesn't have one & I can't remember on the other cars I looked at -
Nope, quite a nice looking titanium gt It's on pistonheads. I'm posting on my mobile so can't be a*sed to post up the link!

I see there's another v8 come to market, being advertised for 27 or 28k can't remember now !

What about asking Gordon Masson ? He's had his car since New or thereabouts -
Yeah it'd be the A - team for me

Pic of my other van

mine does at least get used for work though I've customised every van I've ever had whatever the make! It's my office/ workstation 5 days a week, based on the sheer amount of time i spend in it, I like it to look/ drive/ perform the best it can

Don't think it's too much to panic about, just a bad day at the auction. Case in point: my brother listed a boat on eBay 2 weeks ago ( which needs a total refit) the boat made £771.00 , winning bidder was a time waster. He relisted the boat, auction ended on Monday & it made £451.00 this time !!
