You have a manual mug? Can I have a tiptronic mug? If not, then one that changes colour when it gets hot.I have two currently on rotation at work... My 911 haynes manual mug and the splendid if not slightly rude.. W - (Pic of an anchor)
In non mug related news, I received a call from the paintshop this morning. They've completed the wheels but have been having in-house discussions about my request to have the centre caps also coloured metallic black. Their opinion is that they would look better remaining silver.
This library picture is the wheel design in question and I'm having the anthracite sections darkened to a metallic black.
I think I'm going to stick with my initial thoughts and have them coloured, because if I decide I don't like them then new caps are under £15 each so no biggie to do some swapping about at a later date.

Perhaps it's his influence on the style of the caps themselves? On the rear they have a small poky out bit (technical term) which corresponds to a cut-out on the rim, so they can only ever be fitted in one position. All well and good, but OCDists might sweat at the thought of the relationship between the cap's orientation and the position of the valve cap!
Roger's influence was benign. He started in the Service Dept and finished as the in-house photographer and the Official Guide for factory tours. Lovely chap. At his funeral, the story that brought the house down was of Roger at his desk in Service reading through a bill prior to sending it to the client when he would frequently be heard to say, "Oh, this is far too much. We can't charge this! Let's just take off this, this and this. There, that's better."
And David Brown wondered why the firm never made him any money.

Ouch. Values are such they'll of course be fixed, but that Lister will need a few minutes on a jig at least.

Tried to post this earlier but phone was flouncing.....

Thing is, I'd wager his actions were correct most of the time.
You may have heard this one. David Brown was asked by a drinking or golfing buddy if he could have an Aston at cost price. DB said of course, he'd be delighted, and the car was built to the chap's spec and delivered and he was charged considerably more than list price.
