Most of you know, I had a really, unexplainable attachment to my old blue MV6, that I just cannot recapture, or even get close to with my new facelift one.

Well since I had it, weve been doing little jobs here and there, the last being all new suspension, and then this week, had the geometry set up at Langs.

I gave the car a good wash and polish yesterday, got into it today in a good frame of mind, filled her up, and had a cracking run out to Betws y coed, on the twisties.  She was running absolutely beautifully, loads of go, overtaking everything I wanted with ease, handling incredibly well round the corners etc.
When I got there, I thought 'YES' I'm finally liking this car, at last
Ljay drove her home, and experienced very similar feelings.

Finally, this car is growing on me.

Good stuff 

Think everyone has unexplainable attachments to cars, TB with the rusty silver bullet, I don't want to sell my 2.2, i've had V6's that are of course faster, Elites with all the toys. But I like my 2.2!

[Jimbob]

Definately...

The blue one was home the minute after I sat back down in it after filling her up for the trip back from Somerset all those years ago, It was just right and felt like home....this one is taking a long time!

Havent had that felling since my Senny went to the scrappy.

Tell us more, what did you have done and what was the cost.... I may well have to go there soon - hence the interest - TIA

Drove a polly bushed car today, might help further still. IMO.

I am very attached MV6 already... but the love will grow tenfold, if I could get the bloody thing as responsive as it used to be 

[albitz]

Yes, and the one we always use for 'testing' how a car drives, its a route we know well, and this car behaved better than any previous run weve had, was a joy to drive

After using TBE (aka Grey Dart) for my recent holiday in Wales, racking up a couple of thousand miles in the process, it has grown on me.  I know the car a little better, and cannot deny its an amazing cruiser.

But I got back, jumped straight in the Silver Bullet, and was immediately at home again.

I think TBE needs something, just not sure what (other than to lose those rather awful, horrible, useless, unpredictable pieces of shite Michelin PS2  )

[feeutfo]

Swap the suspension and wheels over TB, job done.

Struggling to get Irmscher springs...
