Update on my V

Good evening everyone and a happy new year to all. It has been a while from me! Recently had to get a new phone so thought I'd put some pictures up of [v6plaque]346[/v6plaque].

In 2018 I went over to the Nurburgring with a good chum. I was in the process of buying my first flat so was supposed to be a possible fair well to the Clio but I quickly realised I just couldn't do it, and fell in love with her once more.

My Uncle sadly passed away, so myself, brother, cousin and my best friend done the North Coast 500 in his S-Type before it was sadly sold. Was great fun and it was a rule to dress like we were from the antique road show. I was also very fortunate to get the plate from his car which is now on the V6. Very proud of this. :)

Last year we took on part of NC500 again but cut across part of it. We essentially done the Grand Tour route. Weather was horrendous in July! really gutting.

Then a few more random pictures from last year mainly, managed to get the car into a few classic car shows.

Arrived early for this one and was stuck right in the corner :( interesting here as I later opened the front bonnet and removed the engine covers, interest really picked up after this.

Owned a lovely Mk5 GTI but had to sell and currently have a VW Up! :race: all in the aim of keeping the V!

Also got a shot in this Caterham, very different cars.

Pictures aren't great quality but hope you enjoy.
 
Looks like a great year, I really need to get the 500 done before I get rid. Out of interest would you swap the Clio for a Catherham? Plate changes the whole look imo.

Thanks Iain. Agree about the plate, really chuffed.

Ehh really difficult one on the Caterham. Clio was like a Rolls compared to the Caterham. Depends on what you want, Caterham I'm sure would be a lot more fun from a driving perspective but doesn't sound as good.
