France 2006 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Java Black
At last!

I'm not a fan of Ferraris even if I could afford one, but one put a big smile on my face yesterday.

I followed a 40yr old Dino 246 being driven in the pouring rain on muddy rural roads. Even the driver was smiling.
Great to see a classic sports car being used properly for fun and what it was built for instead of being hidden away as an investment or only being used on dry days a couple of hours a year.
I get the investment thing but come on - drive them!

Thumbs Up Top marks to the driver/owner of the 246 Thumbs Up [/i] Travelling around in circles again.

It's nice to see, I agree. Thumbs Up

There was a picture on Facebook yesterday of some chap driving his DB6 in the rain on the M25. One suspects he was caught out unexpectedly, but it's great to witness regardless.

I tend to use my Mustang on dry days only, but the peculiarities and unpredictability of the British weather system mean downpours are almost unavoidable. The last time she was out was no exception and I discovered she'll spin both rear wheels in 2nd at 30mph when the carb secondaries open under enthusiastic acceleration on a damp road. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

SWMBO's daily drive, including a scuffed alloy, is a DB9 Volanté. Like you say, it's there to be used. Thumbs Up
