Fun In The Snow

[EdV6220]

Took my Vee to Carlton Garage in Exmouth today for a service / refurb. Wouldn't usually drive her in these kind of conditions but had little choice as it's the only day I could get her down for ages.

Out the garage and ready to go:

2 hours later I reached Exmouth where the sea had frozen!

Safely arrived at Alex's place (parked next to his Rolls)

I found a friend:

Then off to the station for the train home:

Next time I see her she should be in tip-top condition

What was the Vee like in the snow?

What wheels are on the Mars Vee? They look like Emotions... maybe Rotas? Ugh.

Both look great!

 

[EdV6220]

It was fun, but I treated the conditions with respect

Probably holds better than my mates BMW (which has been slideing everywhere lately) as there is more weight at the back.

Not sure what wheels they are but I know they are 18".

Lol at the red vees number plate

R U MAD ?

Why do all Vees seem to not have the rear bumper grilles anymore ? :S

 

[EdV6220]

Had little choice Dawn

Love Alex's plate! A lot of people have dropped the grills as they are basically shite and rust away. Love the look of it removed personally

 

[Naith]

both look great, love the mk one with no rear grilles.

cant get over the sea frozen...

Oh didn't realise they were metal lol. I thought they were the same kind of grille as the 182 lower front grille !

I see the thin metal one on that red one now.

 

[Davis]

bet you took it steddy! does look like a smart mk1!

 

[Beef-Mc]

It's a cracking Vee really.

Bet it was chilly by the sea then lol.

 

[Pettsi]

I really do like these MK1 Vee's!

 

[VeinAST]

Seen it in the flesh before! Tis lovely!! Must've driven ever so carefully!

 

[EdV6220]

I drove like my Mum through the icey bits

99% of the route was on Motorways / A roads though so all good!

 

[Feirny]

V6 YAY is amazing Vee, probably my fave, for a few reasons.

Car's looking good Ed! Good work!

They do, but mk1 vee's have very fine mesh. The mk2's have the plastic grilles.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

thats lush!

 

[ddouble]

looks lovely mate!!!!

you can see the standard ph1 mesh in the mars vee there. its only the ph2's that have the black plastic grilles.

i quite like the look of it removed. bit more hardcore.
