DVee8's Daimler250 V8 ...

[DVee8]

The Daimler is back new spark plug seals fitted. Running just sweet.

We had Daimler out for a nice blast in the sun, this afternoon, popped into see @gm.

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 !

Cheers bud. I had 6 other parents come over to say they'd much rather have mine than the Tesla. 

The Tesla had a crowd as it was doing its "dance" with music blasting.

I'd absolutely love one of these.  Such a cool thing, those mini hemi engines and that styling.  

 

Cool car

We had the old girl out for it's last run out of the year. The alternator bearings are rattling, going to need a new/refurb one  for next year.

I got my rebuilt alternator back during the week  so we fitted it this morning. 

1st start of the year and first press of the button.
