Hi guys,

Took my still relatively new V8S out for a drive in the Kent countryside yesterday, and I’m still utterly blown away by how good this car is.. it’s got everything you could ever way and then some, and that noise!!! It’s so addictive. I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to sell it, I can’t imagine a more entertaining, enjoyable drive that really makes you feel special every minute, for the money. The performance is just astonishing, what a step up the V8 is from the V6 in terms of power delivery.

Anyway, quick snap as is mandatory in this section!

Chris

That feeling has stayed with me and I've had mine for over a year now .... ;)
My grin muscles have got quite strong now, too! :D

Very nice as always. Wonder if one day they will do cosmetic surgery to remove our smiles when we sell them. If ever.

You must have polished those wheels before taking that picture.
Oh, and why would you even want to consider selling it ??

Thanks all, it's a stunning car, absolutely love the IRR paint and the black pack is just spot on. Let's hope that feeling stays for the foreseeable future! An F Type forum calendar huh? Sounds like a good idea!
Oddly, I didn't polish the wheels, haven't done so since I got it about 250 miles ago, I'm amazed they're not caked in brake dust like my coupé always was..

Fantastic looking car Chris. The more I see red the more I like it.

I adore my 400 coupe. Could be a keeper....... It's currently a little broken though :roll: and they gave me a P380 convertible for the week or two.

I've never had a convertible before but the noise is even more addictable!! I think I might want one.
(It is also white and I was 50/50 black or white which isn't helping.). Help me!! Aaarrgghhh.
