Just pure luck mate, i happened to go for my morning fag break at work and saw a guy taking photos through the fence opposite my office into the carpark opposite, so i had a peak and thought f me!! so whilst he struggled with looking through the fence i just walked/sprinted around the corner into the car park as thats where we park our cars normally and started taking a few pics, most productive fag break i think ive ever had!!

You are quite correct Matt is a fker.

Had the pleasure of transporting a Black F40 in a trailer today to Berkshire. It was my first car delivery for my new job. What a shock it was, normally only mundane road cars are transported and even then its rare that we take cars (its normally Laptops and phones). Well worth only earning £28 an hour for that drive. It was easy putting it into the trailer. But I was a bit terrified when reversing it out of it(especially as the guy who was receiving it was watching me.) First time I have been in the driving seat of an F40 my childhood dream car And it felt great even though I only managed to do about 10 metres in all.

Sir, I to your expert knowledge of Fiestas

Well when I was last in one they were, think they have got rid of a lot in the very recent update with the new centre console.

The guys in Astons engineering agreed with me anyway so I thought I was right.

Most of the switch gear in my car came out of a vauxhall Astra

The point being what?

I already know this, I have had 6 TVRs, you can overlook it in them because they were such performance bargains, plus they disguised it very well.

The origins are not the real issue, I just thought the interior was a big letdown, it felt cheap / tacky and wasn't up to the exterior.

Yeah, I've seen that and it does look pretty good - black one?

Where did you spot that Veyron Matt? Looks familiar, but can't place it.

My point being "Who gives a ste what the switch gear came out off so long as the car performs " Which Aston's and TVR do well

Quote "Problem is, they are full of fiesta switchgear" And your Problem is what exactly Bertie ?
