New mk 8 spotted

Postby 125neil » Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:03 pm

Spotted a Mk8 with the ugly grille today about 11.45 on the m40 southbound near High Wycombe, I have to be be honest and say it looked miles better in the flesh than in the pictures I've seen, now the bad bit , it was on the hard shoulder with its hazard lights flashing !!

Lucky you, at least.

Over here it looks like Kansas City will not start production until the end of March.

I think the look will prove popular.

Saw a Mk 8 on the road yesterday (in the local church hall car park actually).
I think it was medium length semi high and was silver.
I thought it looked better in the flesh than in the pictures.
It was on 10 spoke alloys that looked a bit like Minilites.

"How come you guys never have cameras"

We do but its difficult to take a picture when you're doing 70 going the other way !, like Timbo says they do look okay.

Sorry, my "sighting" of a mk8 was a Custom..........

My excuse is that it was very dark and it was the only long wheelbase semi high that I have seen. :oops:
