Default Gad's uberbeater - Nick Graves enjoy

I was bored with a sensible beater.

I did think about a GT3 eating Seat for a nanosecond and decided it would probably be a bit too much for me.

So I decided on comfort.

I like this one.



More than this one



Inside is nice



This is where I want to sit but I need a chauffeur



In case you're thinking all show and no go - here's a hint it's not



And here's the confirmation



Cucumber sandwich anyone?

All in all, I'm happy, just wary of turbo-diesels.

How many miles on the clock?

Would have thought you have a good deal there assuming it's got a FJSH.

I used to have a Series III V12 Saloon - brilliant car although a tad thirsty. Used to have an instant fuel consumption read out - at an indicated 145mph on the M5 it did 3 mpg!!!

Congrats on your choice.

Autos are not the best for that kind of think, puts a hell of a strain on the transmission

Yes, but if the transmission packs up, you can always rotate the horses and have them pull you...

Assuming you're going to put 2 horses in it, you'll need about 3 tonnes capacity - the only thing you could really consider is something with a ladder chassis (ie. landie or the like).


Nice car Pete, my uncle used to have the previous shape Daimler in the 70's and I always told myself that one day I'd have made it when I drove a car like his. Looks like you beat me to it.
