Popped out for a drive...about to get in the car...a guy runs across the road, nice chap, wants to talk about the car. Offer to let him start it up and give him a tour. He politely declined but wanted to hear it. Loved it. Then asked the question...
"Do you find that ladies lose their clothes as you drive by"...

Seems that Tony's onto something here...

Although I should add, that personally I've not seen it actually have any affect on the fairer sex...Least not when I'm in it.

Maybe I'm using the wrong aftershave.

Ive seen it on a few ferraris that have been used for weddings and i know what it would do to aston paint. Also, remember that whenever you use an abrasive polish on it, you're removing the previous layer of protection.

Some TLC and proof to those that only ever see my car dirty that it does get cleaned. Deep clean, light machine polish and Exo2. I also took a leaf out of Paddys book and ate a lot of cake smile

Before..

Took my Rapide out for the first time since November. There's a mouse somewhere in the car so have set a little nipper in the boot

Having completely lost clutch pedal again!!!! I removed the clutch master cylinder on my V8V AGAIN!! This time i drilled out the crappy little bar which holds the bakerlite end piece on, inserted a beefier bit of steel and then aryldited everything back together. Hopefully this time will be the last i have to get in the footwell.

At least this time i didnt spend a week of evenings, several knuckles and 1200 quid on a new clutch and slave cylinder that were only 50% worn because the crappy master cylinder had sheared its end off which attaches to the pedal.

Fitted a Fuse 22 relay box with remote switch in my DB9 - didn't notice any difference in the exhaust note when it was idling. Should I ?

It would be very rude to call that a garage! Love the picture of your car with the Centenary badge on it. Fabulous yes

Ian thank you,,,this headrest embroidery (courtesy Bamford Rose) ensures that in the distant future, should ever the plate be sold, Vesuvius will remain very much a Centenary car.
