Pointless drive - I couldn't help it

[TomS]

Sunny Sunday afternoon, the vee was sat there gleaming.... I just couldn't not take it out.

A few pics - that's about it really. Never fails to make me grin like a tool when I'm pootling around in it. Enjoy:

A couple of pics from when I went to see clarkie: 2 of 25

Nice pics, amazing car :approve:

"RU02 MAD" Made me laugh

 

[ROB91]

looking gawjus, love the colour, not drive it much then?

 

[Christopher]

Spot on, Sparks!

 

[TomS]

Great plate eh! I'm tempted with RU03 MAD haha

Rob - only drive it on Sundays really as it's not kept where I live. Love Sundays lol. Good job really as I can only afford to drive it once a week lol.

Cheers Christoph!!!!

Great plate eh! I'm tempted with RU03 MAD haha

£799 on Dvla (more than I was expecting tbh)

You must be well pleased, driving it few and far between must make it even more special.

A car like that deserves a unique/private plate

 

[TomS]

Yeah I've got a plate lined up but going to be a while before I bare to part with £300 for one. That could go on fuel! lol

Cheers Brian, it's a joy to hop into on a nice day. I'm sure I'll drive it alot more in the summer. Hope you're enjoying the 200!

Cracking stuff TomS, I was expecting the obligatory "twins" pic! I miss Carlton Garage...

 

[TomS]

Cheers Ads - lol I couldn't resist them both lined up together.

I trust you're well

 

[Vicky.]

Looks awesome, least you're enjoying it

 

[Brian]

You can't bare to part with a tenner for membership, so I think it'll be a while before you buy a plate :rasp:

 

[danjf]

love the vee's, looks really nice mate

 

[TomS]

Cheers Vicky/Dan and LOL brian..... good effort.....

 

[Ads_172]

Yeah I'm good mate, still ticking along at EDF as before. You still wth Cheltenham Gov, perving at the bank (?) girl?

 

[TomS]

Good, glad all's well. Yeah living and working in Cheltenham, enjoying it

The bank girl was back in S.Glos but she still runs through my mind every now and then! hahahaha

 

[Fletcher]

Me likes :approve:

 

[Adam_S]

I love pointless drives. I'd love them more in a vee

 

[Jamie]

It's a great comment that you can have fun just pootling. Not many cars can do that for you. The Williams truely did that for me. As good as the Trophy is it's best on the limit whereas the Williams could be at 30 and still have a sense of occasion.

 

[TomS]

Totally agree Jamie...... I actually dislike taking people out in it for the 1st time as they always want me to boot it...... so I just tend to pootle around - still sounds incredible at low rpm. They still seem to enjoy being in it though!

 

[Rob]

Cracking looking car, but low RPM? Seriously? I thought the fun would be in the revs! Even if not going fast, just keeping it responsive!

It's kind of a problem having a car like that. People want or expect you to cane it. It's lose, lose... You do and you're a yob. You don't and people think you're just posing. Ahh well, I'm sure you'll cope somehow

And Rob, find a car you think is truely different/special and you'll see what we mean. Or maybe just have different tastes and expectations.

 

[TomS]

Yeah it's just a nice experience being in it and hearing the engine at low rpm. It sounds stunning when giving it some throttle but the pleasure's in the low rpm driving for me.

I think I've been like that with most of my cars though

 

[BREMBO]

Stunning mate!

Any plans?

 

[Daz.]

Needs a blank front plate like the other one for me - rest it ok

 

[TomS]

Stunning mate!

Any plans?

None to be honest chap. I'm tempted with ph2 rear lights and a fresher back box but the standard lights keep growing on me!

Daz - I'm a fan of the blue euro strip on the plate - don't ask me why! lol

 

[BREMBO]

Yeh I definetly prefer the standard lights, the backbox looks like it could do with a good polish and it will look spot on. Sure somebody posted pictures on V6Clio, such a big diffrence.

 

[TomS]

I think it's the original back box so probably due to be replaced anytime soon really.

Think I'll get the polish out!

 

[Tucks]

I demand you dont boot it. 'Blipp' when you take me in it for the first time.

Looks awesome mate. Love PH1 Vee's.
