The Loud Bear.

Got the thumbs up, and if my lip reading is correct, a WFT from a driver of a Jaguar F Type after I gave the Bear a blast thro' the Holmes Tunnel on the M25 this afternoon.

What else are tunnels for but v8 and v-twin engines

My wife commented on how many people looked round when I started mine in the supermarket car park the other day. The one that made me smile the most was the first time I went in for a tyre, the young fitter drove it into the bay and I heard him say to the boss "have you heard that f...... thing?!" Lot, I mean A LOT, of people outside the MGR fraternity have no idea the V8s exist.

It amazes me that, as you have said, the amount of people that are totally unaware they even exist.

Mine was in getting a bit of paint done a while ago and the boss of the body shop was just about selling tickets to view it!

I just have to drop a gear in the Sd1 when I go through the tunnels!

Totally agree, I have a friend who used to work for Rover before they went pop and he had not even heard of them. I picked him in up in my ZTT 260 from the station a few months ago and he was amazed, he reckond he had been in loads of normal ZT's and 75's but could not believe the difference.

He is now trying to convince his SWMBO that it would be a good idea to have one.
