In Love Again...

That, and having to listen to my brakes all the way from Portmeirion back to the hotel.

Great to hear that Brian and I have to agree about the D2 S8. Its pretty much got everything, looks, balance, interior, power, comfort on long runs and you can still point and squirt them should you wish. Long may you enjoy it

Yes, it just feels so light and chuckable for such a big car. Lots of grips, the triple air vents in the middle, quality, and I love the looks. It just feels massively uncompromised and over engineered.

Pic from our drive last week!

Welcome back Connor - and much though I like this picture, I'm look forward to seeing some recent indoor pics from you as well

Is that just a random Vauxhall in the picture, being that it bears an uncanny S8'ish, perhaps insultingly so, numberplate

It belongs to a friend of ours Nick, he is young so there is hope I can show him the error of his ways (TBH its actually not a bad car) You may recognise the car park as where we set off from on our Loch Lomond sail

Now you say I do recognise it Brian. And that's not a bad looking car (whichever one you look at) Sure beats the skankey Singer Chamois (post for Hillman Imp) I started with
