weather was dry and sun was out, only a bit of moisture on the roads, so it would be rude not to go for a spin and take a few snaps



the road I drive to work 10 mile long, which is ideal for the GTS loads of bends, short straights 3rd gear sprints and not much traffic. All salt free of course.




small inn en route, stelth colour scheme blends into tarmac


this ones for Spud




Off to visit the Pheonix this afternoon for more viper chat

edited to add curry
yes it was very jummy !

Guys you don't know how frustrating these photos are for those of us on crutches following a snapped Achilles tendon (probably weakened due to the hard work using the Viper clutch!). Beautiful cold, crisp days with clear blue skies, dry roads and a Viper sitting in the garage with no chance of being able to drive it for at least 8-12 weeks!! Still I guess it brings a new meaning to being legless and plastered over Christmas and the New Year.

Happy New Year to you all
Nigel & Mary.

Mitch showed me his viper xmas present not socks this year, but a collapsable folding cleaning bucket to fit in the boot next his big roll of 'cover my front nose' cling film, he's still hanging onto them corvette days

Although he is getting on a bit, so I think it maybe
more useful as a emergency toilet bucket for those longer trips

Toilet bucket ? good idea I can see where you're coming from .

Of course you only need to use it in its sanitary mode if you drive the much SLOWER ! steel gray vipers that can't get there occupants to there destinations quick enough.

The silver's on the other hand need to use it in the cleaning mode to remove the scorched bugs on the front of there much FASTER viper's .

We will have to get you one Neil you may need it for your next trip over the mountain with Nad .
