W8 Estate

Post by zagatoes30 »

OK, I have finally collected it and I must say what a stunning car it is.

Extremely comfortable, effortless cruising and surprisingly economical but when you bury you foot in the carpet there is just constant, seemingly non stop urge to go quickly, in fact very quickly. It easily ran up to almost twice the legal limit (on private roads of course) without any hesitancy. At an indicated 85 mph is only 2500 rpm and unless the limiter kicks in I can see no reason why it wouldn't run up to 5000 rpm.

Any way here is the first pic, when I get some time to look at her rather than drive her I will get some more up.
