Your First Surf Smile Memories

[chrissyboy]

Hi guys,

Well I've owned my awsome surf for a couple of weeks and had my first major Surf Smile moment on the Friday just gone...

I was driving fromTorquay where I live now back to Hartlebury in Worcester where I grew up to visit the parentals. The M5 had been a nightmare due to wheelie bin cows and log delays. I got onto the a449 for the last stretch (for those of you who haven't nearly died on this road it'sa duel carriageway) and there was a huge queu of traffic in the left lane, not a single car in the right hand lane. I thought there must be an accident so took my place in the queue and crept up the hill....


What do I see when I reach the peak? a queue of cars stretching into the distance all queuing for the shallow end of a huge flood accross the road
You can see where this is going. I'm not exagerating when I say I belted it past around 100 cars with a huge smile on my face. On reaching the flood I held my breath and pointed straight at the deep end. With water being sprayed up to roof height on either side of the car I'm slightly ashamed to admit I cackled a bit It was awsome and the look on those poor mortals faces was priceless. Vavavoom I love my surf, it knocked a good hour off my journey.

Anyone else care to share some Surf Smile memories?

PS anyone own a black 2nd Gen that frequents the A380?

See ya guys

i have a smile on my face every time i get in stein,but what makes me really smile is some one trying to overtake me in a subaru or other powerful sports car.i soon wipe the grin off of their faces.

due to wheelie bin cows and log delays.

Chris

I'm fascinated, what are 'wheelie bin cows'?

[RodLeach]

My first one was driving back home from andover i was in the passenger seat as i wasn't insured straightaway on it! (still had a fiesta)

I cant think of any majour grin moments but i do get one everytime i drive it!

an when i come from work with my dad in his van i see it all sat there lookin good an its just like "hell yeah!!!" I love it! the day i sell if even for something 'nicer' will still break my heart!

when i saw the old surf being driven away after i sold it.. i was a mess! gutted wouldn't cover how i felt! Looking at my new solid black beast puts a grin on my face so big i dont care i sold my old one

The wheelie bin cows

On the Southbound side of the M5 somewhere down South there's a field which has about 100 wheelie bins painted up to look like cows On this particular journey someone had arranged the 'cows' into rather avocative poses which led to huge tailbacks North & South bound

[chrissyboy]

Tis mine

an when i come from work with my dad in his van i see it all sat there lookin good an its just like "hell yeah!!!" I love it! the day i sell if even for something 'nicer' will still break my heart!

I know what you mean, still can't believe it's fine. For ages I've been looking at them thinking I wish I had one of those and then one day I was in a position to get one so I did Had it for 2 weeks and I love it, can't wait to go camping with the misses in it.

I think one of my biggest surf smiles was actually over someone elses surfs!!!

i was 17 and had nearly past my test, i walked out of carpet right with my parents and smack bang at the door a blue over silver surf... i was blown away! I knew i had to have one, one day.

My driving instructor told me to stop dreaming and be realistic!
my gf of the time said i was foolish! Well when i past my test and me and my gf of the time (and 2 years solid before) went our own ways

i knew that was it!




Muahahaha

Cool!
That would have been my third guess. There's a member on here that's got, or had a Scimitar.
I had a Spitfire about four years ago, had for nine months, polished it and sold it for 400 quid profit!

I used to love being driven in the spitfires! I was bout 15 when we had them so i could never have driven it!

Once me and my dad went down my uncles! It was just mad! i was like grinning/laughing all the way!! amazing fun!!

Gutted we sold them!

We got the scimitar in a trade for my sisters old 1.6 ford escort convertable! no words can describe how glad i was to see that heap go!

Loving the surf!

What mods have you given that bad boy then?

What mods have you given that bad boy then?

So far its had a 2" suspension lift, the direct 4x4 rooflight pod! Thats my TJM winch bumper fitted on, It was a temp fitting i had to see how it looked! My current insurance company wont cover me with it fitted, So in a month or two im with another company with the tjm fitted! Then i have all the parts for a 2nd 2" suspension lift sat behind me so it will be 4" in total! then its 33x12.50r16 machos on my set of alloys! Im planning on buying a snorkel soon! Just cant make up my mind between the TJM Airtec and the Safari snorkel!

Its going to be soooo damn nice! Its already on oversized tyres and sits about 6" high!
