Hi Everyone,

Hope you like the pics.

About time Andrew! You've always been one of the first to comment on everyone else's car - and what a good looking one yours is too! Love the colour, and I reckon those pepper pots just set it off to a tee.

Have to say I'm quite jealous of where you live, it must be a blast having those Welsh A roads right on the doorstep!

Mike.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them!
The roads around here are a driver's playground. There's very little traffic on the roads to interfere with a good drive!
Andrew.

Cracking looking car you have there.

Being able to get them out on some good roads is one of the true joys in life.

I'm no speed freak, but when faced with a growling V6 and an empty road the temptation is almost too much. ;)
All the best,

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, it is Paris blue. The previous owner had the car sprayed in this colour six years ago. I'm beginning to quite like it too, although it wouldn't have been my first choice.
I'm not sure about eating your dinner off the engine. Not unless you like the taste of oil and grime!
All the best,
Andrew.

Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated. If I am honest I would say that I am not 100% happy with the condition of the car. There some blemishes on the paint and a few other things that aren't right. It's easy to be over critical and see every fault when it's your own car. My friends think that I am mad to be expecting perfection on a 30 year old car without throwing shedloads of money at it!
I have to say that the old girl looks good in the photographs!
All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your kind comment, much appreciated. I've just seen a photo of yours on the CRaP thread and I must say it looks stunning. 8-) Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.
All the best,
Andrew.

Smashing car Andrew, a real credit to you :cool:

What have you on the inner wing under the injector leads.. some sort of matting? Would something similar have been there originally? I'm interested because mine have dulled off the paint work there, thinking of doing the same.

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. :)
It is a foam pad under the injector pipes on the wing. All the 2.8 injections were fitted with them, well RHD ones were anyway. The pads are to protect the paintwork as you suggest. The original ones were black, but they probably can't be bought anymore. Mine's a repro grey one that cost about £5 on Ebay. 8-)
All the best,
Andrew.
