skiing 71 1 Vehicles Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Charlie, on the storage front, you can sometimes hire garages in London from your local borough council. There is normally a waiting list but they do come up - not sure on costs but they are not too bad. When I get mine re-sprayed, I will get hold of one... Somehow... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieCroker 342 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Yes, I had already applied, not heard a dickie bird as yet though, but at least I'm on the list. Thanks for the nod though, what with a couple of very generous offers here and a little small ads searching I think I've found a viable option. Just in the process of organising it all, bit of a mind mash to get all the dates lined up but getting closer. Hoping that the weather is good this weekend, need to get back in the car, been a while since I had a blast what with all this windscreen palaver.

CharlieCroker 342 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Here you go chaps, some more photos for your veiwing pleasure. Just did another awesome run punching through the gears, blasting around the curves, drop it down one no two gears and woosh away we go into warp drive. Don't know if anyone else gets the low down torque that I get, but it just pulls and pulls, bang into 3rd, around the bend 4th and ibto overdrive, awesome! If this car is sold on, I will happily take any serious buyer around the lanes, it really does live up to its name, a real live panther on the hunt... Oh and it shines like a diamond in a goats ass! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CharlieCroker 342 Report post Posted October 31, 2017 Quick update gents. So the panther has been in early hibernation, resting for the last couple of months waiting for a day to get back out on the prowl. That day came yesterday due to it's MOT, which it passed, and as such one simply had to give it a blast around the lanes to shake off any cobwebs. The car amazes me every time, I'm either a brilliant mechanic or a lucky barsted cos' this car just performs on every level. Gear box, tick. Steering, tick. Brakes, tick. Engine, tick. Electrics, tick. Comfort, tick. Just an amazing car, it's precise, responsive and looks as sharp as a razor. See for yourself, few pictures on the way back. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
