Arrived at 12:30 to pick the Sterling up. Money and docs sorted with no trouble, and the trader even helped to give me some pointers to get the radio working. Apprently even after it had been listed as sold he was getting plenty of calls. He told me this after money was handed over, so have no reason to think he's telling porkies.

 

Anyway, filled her up. Slightly different take on the petrol station shot.

Went down the M3 with no trouble at all and didn't miss a beat. I had my Dad following providing back up just in case...

 

It hit 70 with no worries, but I'm yet to go over that.

As they say in the Foster's advert, no drama!

 

Now it needs de-niggling.

Is this the petrol turbot model? If so does it torque steer when given the boot?

Brilliant car fella. I really hope to try it out for myself at some point. I miss my KV6 but I do still own it and am enjoyimg Merc ownership.

Is he gonna get any petrol? No, he's using the forecourt to turn around..he thinks he's Rod Stewart!

Fog light wankers, as I understand it, display their fog lights in order to show the plebs that they are their superiors. In an 800, you ARE superior to the plebs, and, indeed, everyone.

 

Back of the net.

So this does seem to be a good start to the year, both me and Partridge in shite old cars

this seems to have gone down well! And for sure Lord Sterling :) Also, it's a petrol non turbo. Just got back from taking it to the pub to meet with mates (I stuck to soft drinks). Man, I fucking LOVE this car. I've just spend ages looking at it on the drive. Superior indeed!

Lovely stuff. Not my words Michael, the words of Shakin' Stevens.

 

That will be GR8 for popping out to the owl sanctuary or driving to Dundee in bare feet.

It is a very handsome thing.

It is indeed...

 

And joking aside, I do know a cracking owl sanctuary near the New Forest.

Man, I fucking LOVE this car.

I had a feeling you would.  Result!  May it serve you well for a long time.

It suits my driving style and is more comfortable than the chairs in the house. You can't hustle it along country roads, if you did I think you'd end up in a ditch. But who cares? It's an old school luxo barge.

Kids like to go to the owl sanctuary but the beasts I like to look at are made of zinc galvanised steel......they're cars.

Wrong petrol station photo I am afraid.

 

It should have shown you striding away from it on the M3 behind the armco barrier, plastic bags of washer fluid in hand singing 'Goldfinger'

Top bombing Sir!

 

Had use of an almost identical 820 in the 90's for a bit, it made me feel like I was a back bench Tory with a hooker habit.
