Had a guy comment at the Eurotunnel about the Elgrand when I was running across to the toilets! lol He was following me for many miles and commented on the rear camber, thought my wheels were gunna fall off! lol
I then had two girls in the fish and chip shop talking about the Elgrand, they thought it was American!

I always got asked about my E50 which loads though was an American van. My Hijet just made folk laugh a lot and gave me years of happiness.
Treated the Elgrand to some new screenwash. I managed to do it without breaking anything or any spillages too
Splashed out a bit but she's worth it

Yes matey albeit I have since sold it and bought the Aston Martin. She was an awesome car to own and I was very proud to have had her for 3 wonderful trouble free years. It was my retirement present to myself when I retired form the Army after 25 years.
I would say she was the BEST car ive ever owned. A rare and last off the line Turbo RT Mulliner 420 and very very FAST indeed she was. I was the 3rd owner from new. First famous owner paid £185000 for her with all the Mulliner options fitted. I had every single piece of service history paperwork and all the book pack and manuals. A very special car she was and I sold her with a heavy heart at the time but the Aston soon made up for the tears. It wont be long before I think about selling the Aston too as I have 1 more car on my list I wish to own before I give up the classic car scene for good. 35 years is a long time polishing!!!!!! which is what i'll be doing on my E51 later today. Friday is park up for the weekend day and clean her up ready for next weeks usage.

Good one Brendan ,
I'm looooooovin it
No , he was dressed as Ronald and I was Hamburgular with a big mac on
Just fitted a Velleman 3rd Brake Light Flasher it works really well put this on the LED top light.
This kit will work on any car or van which has a third brake light (incandescent or LED). It makes only the third light flash at a rate of 7 times per second. It can be adjusted to flash for 5 or 10 times. The re-triggering setting can be in one of two modes.
In other words it doesn’t flash all the time the 1st time you apply the brakes it will flash if you reapply the brakes within 5 seconds it will not flash again stop annoying other drivers behind you ha ha ha ha
They seem to be cheapest to buy from the manufacturer than eBay
http://www.velleman.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p6_MK178.html
The other thing I have fitted is a GSTOP LITE to the 2 middle brake lights in the boot this is only designed for LEDs mine aren’t they are standard bulbs so I had to use 2 relays and it works fine these only work under emergency braking and will stay on for a long period of time even after you have stopped you can get more details from http://www.gstop.co.uk/
I got mine for £6 when it was on offer so you’ll have to find it yourself they’re quite expensive on eBay the cheapest seems to be £11.43 if you don’t know how to wire relays let me know and I’ll draw a diagram.
