If anyone is interested I am running a blog about using my CV8 as daily transport.

Not bad - could never understand why the CV 8 styling was knocked by critics - always thought they looked fantastic and far better than the following model. I'd love one.
You seem only to recall one visit to a petrol station though - from heresay I would think you are being modest !!!

The CV8 forms one of my teenage memories (not yesterday then!). My big sister had a boyfriend whose father owned one. He, the boyfriend, took me around the block in it and that was the first time I ever experienced doing 100 mph in a 40 limit. It only took about 100 yards to get there and that was up a hill into the bargain. I was very impressed.
