andy665 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Arrived home safe and sound. Forgot to take my sat nav with me so took a rather more circuitous route to Loughborough than planned but then it was plain sailing Lots of rain but car ran faultlessly, just drank rather a lot of fuel :-) In gear acceleration is incredible but bizarrely you don't feel it, the torque (over 350 lb ft) just hurls the car forwards without breaking sweat Cleaning starts tomorrow - weather permitting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though you're supposed to run out of electricity in the Nissan, not the V8!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
