Had to share this with you guys, basically I was on my way home from work this evening when I was stopped by an Ambulance, yes an AMBULANCE in full emergency LAS livery with blue lights and everything. I was approaching the roundabout at Duke of Wellington place in Central London, when I noticed the driver, a blonde lady of about 45 signalling me and pointing, initially I thought they wanted to nip in front of me so slowed down to let them go. But no she pulled up next to me to tell me how awesome she thought my Sterling was! then I got a thumbs up and off she went lol

I'm so chuffed lol 800's are officially cool.

The Mk2b Nightfire Vitty Fastback (17's) belongs to a guy who works at B&Q, Needs a new front wing. Lives Selsdon Road IIRC.

The Mk2a Nightfire Vitty Fastback (16's) belongd to a guy in Warlingham I gave an IR remote and sensor to.

The Mk1 Nightfire Vitty Fastback lives behind Whitgift school on Haling, and he has a full checkbook at his house.

The Silver Coupe KV6 Manual lives in Purley. He has just started driving it again

The Pewter Coupe (not mine) also lives Purley.

Yes, I do stop 800 owners if I see one
