Default Hello again from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire!

I'm back again!

After a nasty accident in my first 3.0 V6 S type (Manual), Clutch going in the Second 3.0 V6 S type (Manual) i'm now a proud owner of a 1999 V8 S type auto!

Initially the garage wanted £1295 for the car, Which was then reduced to £995, I drove a hard bargain and got it for £800 with a short mot, In which it failed on headlight bulb alignment!

Current mods since owning, Rear silencer removal, HID headlight bulb upgrade, Stainless mesh grill insert, Tinted windows, Whole set of LED interior lights all round, Pretty much bog standard stuff!

Maintenance wise i've had the radiator replaced, Brake pads and the NSR side of the car painted where the previous owner had scraped along a wall and went over it with a dark coloured aerosol which looked crap! At the moment it needs a new traction control button as it's stuck down, And the sunroof won't open which i'm not to fussed about! Also the DCCV is temperamental which is fairly standard for these!

Have attatched a picture, But since it's had a mesh grill added on!
