hehe.. that bloody TopGear program has everyone thinking it does just 4mpg

Yesterday I averaged between 15-20mpg which is pretty good I thought !

Danny B 17 December 2004 07:42 PM

Very nice, not too many of those being shipped to the UK I hear, bet your well chuffed to get one.

J4CKO 17 December 2004 08:05 PM

Lovely, however, are you comfortable with being mistaken for Jeremy Clarkson ?

I would have the words 'NO I AM NOT CLARKSON' above the no plate.

Gav 17 December 2004 08:23 PM

Something I just put together for you David:

it was when we first met, too
fair ford, oh how i caned you

together we travelled far
not for a while, felt this fast in a car

been a long time coming from the yanks
It is with sincere thanks

that I sing farewell to my maiden
now that my wallet is fully laiden


hahahahahhaa

Big Col 17 December 2004 10:24 PM

Viper stripes and Venoms. Soooo 1995 ;)

































only joking. Awesome machine. :)

craigdmcd 17 December 2004 10:28 PM

So, judging by the airport info, and the fact that you have only done 375 (very likely memorable miles) would suggest that you are in Scotland. Please feel free to let us know if you are willing to show off your car in public so we can come and drool . Pleeeeaaaassse

Craig:notworthy

AsianGunner 17 December 2004 11:03 PM

stunning mate,

how long did you have to wait for it ? from the time u put the order in?

how did u get on the list to get one?

Petem95 17 December 2004 11:44 PM

Seriously nice car!! Mates dad used to have an original GT40 and Ive always loved them since seeing it!

You've got to be tempted to sell it on for a big profit tho surely?

No, I collected it from Prestwick, but then drove it home to England.

[quote=how long did you have to wait for it ? from the time u put the order in?]

From ordering it from the USA to transporting it to the UK and driving it here, it was about a month.

Patt@firstime 18 December 2004 09:09 AM

alwong 18 December 2004 09:12 AM

Excellent vehicle. You'll need to arrange a meet to show us underprivileged people what this muscle is like in the flesh!

Old_Fart 20 December 2004 07:26 AM

Very nice David. Will the replacement be the same colo(U)r? I'm amazed that there is such a mark-up considering the ease with which you were able to get hold of 2, but one always makes one's own luck so good for you :) (Bet you've got an early 430 coming too damn your eyes ;) )
Rgds,
Chuck

DavidBrown 20 December 2004 09:18 AM

Hi Chuck ! Long time, no speakee.

Yep, the next one will be identical.

No, I don't have my name down for a F430, I really really don't like the styling of them. I appreciate it's performance, but that fussy rear end, the naff wing mirrors and iffy black front vents .. nah.

suprabeast 20 December 2004 10:26 AM

so you;ve sold the car within two days!

Reffro 20 December 2004 05:26 PM
