Remind me to get Lightning Silver next time will you John - anything a similar colour to the bloody primer!

So today I picked my car up after 10 days at the dealer and then immediately booked it back in for another week. Dont ask

Phil - I just think a prestige marque's service should be better than this rather hit and miss very time consuming affair. We'll see how it all pans out...take 2.

Did you have yours vajazzled - don't remember any pics!

Having a good relationship with a dealer 1mile from me was my goal...not one 120 miles away. Maybe it's not poss? If it's not it will be a bigger deal than just a post here. Feel so let down.

Put in the latest sat nav disc, so I had to take her out for a spin (got the traction control lights flashing on a damp road - all good). Sat Nav menu is now more simplified and takes postcodes, however I will need to have a longer play to understand how to get the split screen as one. The menu from before has changed so it will require some menu playing, or I should just ask my teenage son to sort it out.

Drove up to Laguna Seca for the historic races. Saw some beauties.

Naming and shaming seems to have worked in another "Main Dealer experience" post. Why not spill the beans?

[Ken Figenus]

Naming and shaming would the last resort and worth far more than a quick PH rant.

Hope you get it sorted mate, you don't deserve all the hassle you've had.

Indeed it is. It lives near Seattle, and I see it occasionally -- sometimes being driven on public roads!

Yep, "vajazzling" done by Rob at Supercar Detailing recently, using Swissvax Best in Show...great job...

[Ken Figenus]

Cheers Paddy.

Bet she dazzles in bright sunlight Phill! Hope you are OCD about new fangled cleaning techniques now. Its a burden...but!

[Ken Figenus]

And proving the OCD thing - following Paddys; advice I got and installed a Vac 'N Blo. One end sucks the dirt and dust out of the car (well rather it would if the hose still reached reached) and the other end blows a gale and pushes water off the car after washing ( 2 x 12' hoses via upgrade to 1 1/2"). So its no rubbing of the paintwork with cloths that may pickup grit anymore... Its a bit of a slow process despite the gale force power but very effective. Not sure if a narrow nozzle is best?



Also had a blast with about 30 other cars and the Rapide received some very nice compliments from several more overtly sporting car drivers for her pace on the Welsh twisties. She can be quite astonishing covering ground for such a big car - love her to bits!

Still waiting for Paddy's instruction video....haven't washed it since!

[Ken Figenus]

If you were closer you could pop 'round Phil for a cuppa and a hands on (or as mostly off as possible) demo! Should only take an hour between two!

Ken just watch you don't blow all the crap you've vacuumed up over your freshly washed paint work
