    Foammanmark and Victor-new relationship!!

    Collected Victor earlier and had a nice drive Home through Longridge, Hurst Green and Whalley. The car really is a credit to HappyGilmore78, and I must now look after him in the same way that he did.

    Took a few picys:-

    Thanks, and we really like the look of it. Susan likes it, cos it doesn't look like a Volvo!! (cheeky b-tch)

    I'll be very careful of the wheels at all times, and especially when I meet Wobbly. Real shame that his got pinched. The steering lock was better than I thought, cos I thought it was going to be like driving a truck getting round tight corners.

    Very nice, the black mesh grill really suits the black paintwork too.

    Part of me still wonders if it would have been better to buy Victor & swap all the bits over. And no - I am not in the least bit jealous LOL

    Victor looks as good as he did 2 years ago, when Nathan came over to mine.

    That looks lovely. I do sometimes miss my old one, a lovely shape imo. I had genuine 18" pegs on which showed off the Porsche brakes a treat.
