I Love my car. Absolutely.
Just got back from 2hr jaunt over the Lincolnshire Wolds in the glorious sunshine, a couple of Heineken OO's in a lovely pub, what could be better?
I've driven 2500 miles this year with my tatty old engine and loved every minute of it.
The car is fantastic. it's a Hawk 289, RV8. Always attracts lots of attention.
Well done Gerry!!

Re: Car Love
That’s what it’s all about. So long as it brings a smile to your face you don’t have to drive balls out to get a kick out of driving the Hawk.
I always smile when I’m still warming the engine up at less than 60 mph and another car tears up from behind in the outer lane on a dual carriageway and then slows down to match my speed and their passenger starts taking photos.
I can only assume that a Hawk looks that little bit more authentic.
Hopefully I have made their day as well.

Re: Car Love
Me too, just love driving it. Quite happy to drive by myself in the countryside pootling along. Quite understand that even with a 330BHP Ford V8, I could probably be shown a clean pair of heels by a decent hot hatch, but for me that’s not all the car is about.

Re: Car Love
I love quietly pulling up beside a souped up Nova or the likes at the lights, especially one with a large noisy exhaust and a dobber in the driving seat. They think they are the dog's nuts blipping their throttle until they hear a Ford 302!
Cheers, Clive.
