Here are some pics form Minimax and my last run out yesterday:














Haven't had time to colour correct them yet.

I love that arse. Sweeps up just right and those head restraint moulding have always been a favourite of mine.

[WildfireS3]

Yep, took a run out to Tynemouth, then the pub.

Are you sure he only picked it up on Tuesday. I'm sure thats the car I saw on the A69 on Monday.

[Mr Friendly]

Yay! It was you I saw in town the other day!(wednesday)
I heard something sweet, looked round to see what appeared to be a purple ginetta and thought...
That's the sort of car Minimax's going to get...
Oh, hang on... That even looked like him etc

A quick call to Docevi1 and confirmation that it was probably you

Edited because: I can't spell

I really am in love with my car...I almost would rather not catch my flight to sunnier climes and go and drive it.. took it to asda yesterday to do the shopping - there was a small crowd round me as I loaded the bags in to the boot! can't get over the reaction!

'tis indeed very nice!

a few questions:

what engine?
what's the roof like? (did you get a hardtop with it)
did you get it from fereday cars?
are they live axle or independant rear? (thinking only the G33 came with independant??)
what's it like in the wet? scarey-slidey or fun-slidey?

this is the only answer I know - a 4 Litre Rover V8

[mrs fish]

Lovely car Tom Look forward to seeing it at PistonFest?

I also read once in Autocar that the G33 is the finest ever sounding RV8 car ever built

I thought that was the Griff 500?

Anyway, what you lot doing in here Southerner's indeed

of course thats a joke

The pre cat Griff's sound better! The big wedges sound better too - The G33 is apparently the very best RV8 noise

Ah ok, I only said that as I read it in Car magazine. Not to up on how a V8 sounds never mind what different versions sound like

If Tom comes up on Tuesday I'll be able to say as well

[WildfireS3]

Really it does sound great!!

[daydreamer]

Some ideas for the first upgrades here Tom:-


Little silver button to the RHS of the wheel, and the discrete bottle by the transmission tunnel should do the trick.

Lovely car btw.

Tom

Were you by any chance down at Hexham Horseless Carriages a few Saturdays back?

If that was you, it sounds absolutely mint (can't imagine there's too many around!)
