Not today but discovered that a V8V is a fine car for transporting a bike... Who needs an estate or one of those Porsche roof-rack things!! 
Got an invite today to attend Brands Hatch in the car with some Aston Martin factory test drivers/instructors to evaluate my coil-over set-up. it will be great to have some professional assessment of the suspension mods by experts far more capable than myself at putting the car on its limits. I also hope for some constructive criticism to further fine tune the set-up.

Yup, was going to take the MGC on my profile and did - for the first 30 miles. Then got a puncture but there was no visible sign of anything in the tyre. Had just had all 4 tyres replaced via the garage that recommissioned the car and not sure the fitter they had subbed it to had got it right - webbing to protect the tube from the spokes etc decision was taken not to do the 1000 mile round trip in those circumstances so we did a u-turn and slummed it in the Aston.I got those rations as well, god awful stuff!!

We did the trip 4 years ago in the MG but even though it's got a 3 litre engine the car is tiny by today's standards so you do feel very vulnerable on the M25 with the roof down- the Autoroute being so quiet was a pleasure though.
We arrived at the Tunnel at around 12.30pm and after various toings and froings, being told one thing then another and witnessing one or two tempers getting frayed ( mainly the 'oldies' I must say ) we actually got a Train at 5pm - result.
I thought I might have spotted you pulling out of the overflow car park at around 1pm - same colour V12VS but the driver seemed younger and better looking, or maybe a V12VS has that effect
PS probably still got a pot of that apple baby food desert if you would like it sending on.......

Anyway haven't you got any work to do having come back from holiday? Suppose complimenting me and Yeti is more fun than varnishing
