    Smile Some new pictures (nothing intresting)

    Took the car out of its hole today for some pictures that I need for a little project, thought I would post them be warned its nothing exciting lol












    Some wear on the drivers bolster not bad considering its never been re dyed, going to get some custom dye soon before the wedding and touch up some of the marks.



    Thanks

    I like that alot!

    Looks really clean, you obviously take alot of care and pride in it! For example, theres not even a speck of dust on the dash binnacle!!

    Wow, Just WOW!

    That has to be THE most stunning example of a V70R I have ever seen, absolutely perfect from every angle.

    It looks immaculately kept too and is a credit to you sir!

    Thank you very much theres a couple minor things I keep telling people I will sort out, but the car is in a garage all the time so it can wait until its further up the priority list.

    Its very true, you get your pleasure the proper way and the way people would understand. I get the pleasure knowing its sitting there not ageing through wear and tear if you know what I mean? Its getting MOT'd this week, cant wait, its going to fail though my handbrake needs tightened the mechanic fitted new shoes to it before it went off the road but he didn't adjust the hand brake tight enough. I will be driving it over to my house a whole 24 miles away lol then I will be starting it a few times a week to keep things moving more. Its next venture will be my wedding car.

    Oh and I wish it was manual too lol

    Nah like Frankie said its standard, 99% of them will be full of dirt from peoples hands and you cant tell there is alcantara there lol. I bought my one new havnt driven the car with it yet.

    If those pictures don't excite you, then you need to sell that car to me( I keep trying!!), cos they certainly excite me! Seriously, looking really good and I wish I could see the car in the flesh.

    Looking smart Martin as it always has done, I think you should still use it a little even just for a 20 mile trip or so as sitting around things can and will still go wrong
