gm Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I heard it before i saw it coming, what a lovely burble it makes. We took a drive round the back roads while Dvee8 jnr bolted the wheels back on the mazda I’d been fettling (cheers ben, job well done, all bolts torqued up to spec) the Daimler just wafts along, such a relaxing experience, the old car smell, the v8 burble, all the senses very well catered for Then we pulled over and swapped seats - what a privilege to be allowed behind the wheel, this car really is something special, I can see why you will keep it for ever, many thanks for trusting me, she’s a beauty !
