Always been a lover of V8's, the S8 is the my first German!

Nice collection, I've been around to Waynes house and seen two of these in the flesh. Isn't one of them the one Chris Tucker drove in Rush Hour? It only has around 3k on it too if I remember correctly?

Not famous I'm afraid Amar but as you say the 69 C3 has covered 3600miles from new. It has a highly tuned Chevy Small block producing 450bhp, not so good on 255/55/15's!!!

All good fun but the S8 has taken over from the 2003 Vette (C5), used it for 4 years of flawless daily service, even though the Vette gets better fuel consumption than the S8

Good thanks Ben, hope you are well?

How's the job going, have you got any more performance centres iup and running?

Hopefully catch up with you soon.....found the keys for the 69 now (as you can see) so if you're ever in the area pop in and we'll go for a spin.

The C5 HUD, not my pic but this is how it looks, it is very useful....and cool!
