Collecting the new VR-4 TODAY ...

[White Lightning]

Kate has got the day off work tomorrow (good, as she needs it the hours they have made her work since she went back to work on Monday) and I have got the afternoon off as time in lieu for working most of Saturday. So, we are taking the train down to Taunton at lunchtime to pick up Malc's VR-4 and then I will be driving it back up the A303 to it's new home in Bracknell.

Can't wait for the drive home, although I will have to do some training on my left leg tonight to make sure it's up to all that gear changing ... just hope I don't get to a junction and just put my foot on the brake to stop and forget about the clutch

one hand on the handbreak just to be sure...

[Spirit]

Safe trip mate, give me a call if you need some advice on using a manual gearbox

[HMG1K]

Congratulations - good luck - and happy & safe driving!

[MPBVr4]

Good route home, plenty of roundabouts, lots of overtaking opportunities but look out for Camera vans !!! They seem to abound on the A303 some days.

Anyway I'm sure you'll enjoy it with those extra bhp's.

See you tomorrow.

[MPBVr4]

[TAR]

Will you be changing your name to mauve lightning....or even trigger lighning??

[MPBVr4]

Where is he? Has he got lost? Or is he posing around Bracknell

[elnevio]

Stuck in 1st all the way probably!

"Why won't this thing change gear!! Grrrrr!"

[White Lightning]

He's been enjoying the new car too much ...

Well, what a FANTASTIC drive home. Yes, it was raining most of the way but that didn't put a dampener on things! I absolutely love the new car. It drives SO well. You forget just how good the standard VR-4 is ... so quiet and comfortable at motorway cruising speeds. There are no rattles, or knocks, nothing. I absolutely LOVE this car.

And the manual gearbox ... wow, that's just the icing on the cake. The in gear acceleration is superb. Much better than my white one. And pulling away from the lights is so much more fun now. I am VERY, VERY pleased.

Thanks again Malc, for selling this wonderful car to me. It is going to be very well looked after in my possession

I did manage to change out of 1st ... eventually, when I realised it was not going to do it itself

Sorry ...

But you are right of course.

It's dark now so I will get it sorted tomorrow.
