Picked up 104 from Mr Brookes yesterday with it's first run going to be a 200 mile saunter down to it's new home in Kent.
These are cheap and nasty pic so bare with me until I get the proper camera on it..
It's got a 383 stroker which is putting out about 400bhp.
Compared to my last journey in a Cobra this one home was a stroll in the park and relatively uneventful.
I took it easy going home - generally about the 60 - 70 MPH at or about the 2000 rpm region.
My cheeks hurt from smiling too much
, I'll have to get used to people tooting and then giving the thumbs up - not that you can hear the tooting much. I've lost count of the people taking photographs on their phones as they go past.
Getting home I still had a problem to overcome or confirm my calculations about the clearance my awkward driveway had to raise up, then drop into the garage. Having the drive modified and relaid earlier this year I'm happy to say it drove straight in
Since I had no idea how much fuel I was going to use I gingerly took care of filling it up when the go go juice was getting low. I've done some calculations based on the mileage I did yesterday between petrol stations. 129 Miles and topping up with 21.86 eurothingies to me equates to 26.87 MPG
All I can say to Dave and Rich at DB Replicas :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
The support, honesty and creative suggestions I've had from Dave are a credit to customer support.
My only gripe at this time is why is it pouring with rain.
