Let’s see if this works!!

Video for noise, not going fast but accelerating up to 40 mph, then cruising.

Ok here’s the counter to that!! Cruising at 40mph with window open to hear how quiet engine is when it under any load.

That does my head in!!

Been trying to find someone who could do me a bespoke fascia but hitting a loss so far... have tried Alive and Twisted but no luck yet. Also spoke to Andy McMaster who painted over his but would rather buy a new one and have white dials with no diesel writing!!

There's a chap on mig welding who does switch panels etc. Can you pull the gauge apart so that the inside can be replaced? Ed

I’m passing through Bristol on the 18th, dropping a hire car off at Birzzle Airport and taking the train from Brizzle TM, if you’re about and up for a lift. Be good to hear it in the flesh Bow down Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Can't beat a v8, I know that videos don't compare to being in one. Especially when an auto changes gear, the engine tone changes with it Cool

Completely understand. I’ll be driving up from Cornwall on Fri, so if I get away early enough I’ll stop for a jar. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier
