Removed the tourer from where it was parked and swapped it with the Paceman. Tourer cleaned and back in service with the R8 for a while

Mmm R8

Better than either of the other two, and almost as nice as the Tahiti Blue car

It's just come out of the body shop after having a genuine spoiler from Rimmer Brothers painted and fitted. The Tahiti car made its first appearance this year last week

Pulled the seats and stuff from the wife's car, and baled out the couple of gallons of stale water.

Carpet smells fairly foul, sound deadening is stinking, apart from that it's lovely.

How is it that a so called flagship car can be so poorly assembled as to leak like a sieve?

It's small wonder the average car buying public were turned off by these cars, it's not as if they were nailed together very well

I built an induction kit for under £20 including an air scoop made out of a plastic container lid on the engine under tray 😁
