Sven Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well, the deed is done.... drove up to Intrax, a very professional and clean garage, full of incredible looking suspension kits. Wow, if you think you've seen nice gear, think again. There were also a TVR Cerbera and a Marcos (racing version with Maserati V8) in there, so the S8 is in good company. Nice folks, and they definitely know what they're talking about. My expectations are high... But... I'm S-less in Amsterdam for now. And I don't like it one bit...

mobmad Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Good luck with it Sven. Before and after pics obviously. How long do they reckon it will be until you get it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I feel sorry for your Sven S8!!! At least you have the Gallery!!! and the memories! Has this place got a web site - just for a looky..... At least with a place like that you know that you will not get your car back with a grubby steering wheel!!! A hate that! You have to wash your hands when you get home and then your wheel!! Anyway it will be worth it I am sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 [ QUOTE ] I meant your sig What are you driving about in now? [/ QUOTE ] Oh really? I'm not driving anything right now. Decided not to waste money on a rental for once. It's more convenient to take a taxi in the city if need be. Paul, I'll write a report when I get the car back!

AnArtist1 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Ok then Sven, while you and us are waiting, you might like to tell us the Answer to that "Ronin Movie" question you set ages ago. I spotted the magic self repairing head lights but you said that was not the answer. Please enlighten us o "S-less one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Dude, like, what was the question again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 No S8.... It's almost ready, but the guy didn't feel like letting her go without a proper testing and fine-tuning. So I agreed to lift it over the w/e. Better to wait, and get it right no? :snif: Oh the Ronin question? Shame on you lot for not spotting it.... Anyway, it's the S/W! On some frames you can see a std. S/W, whilst on others it has the S8 sports steering wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Perhaps, but somehow I don't think this guy would need to borrow a car to get a decent ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
