Yes it was a fun drive in places. Very frustrating in others.

Last minute trips are always the best !

Spa is fantastic, you'll love it. Make sure you get 30 minutes with an instructor as this makes a big difference.

Great minds think alike - I have one for the day ! I don't normally but it is Spa and it's my first time there......better than any insurance but I appreciate the tip off in case I hadn't :-)

cheers. I've done a full VERY spirited day at Imola and 21k miles in total since new in this car - there's not a lot I can do - either they will end up needing changing or they won't............life still looks spot on at last dealer check though

Nothing of much significance but as the previous numberplate had been grating on me for 12 months due to issues of symmetry on the plate (was a bit too justified right) and it just jutted up too much into the top grille. So I fitted a smaller one that remains legal and is nicely centered between the upper and lower grilles.



It now sits neatly within the bodywork horizontal without overlapping it. Its far neater and OCD is fixedwobble. I could have had an even shorter one but sadly there are old drilled mounting holes to cover. Have the measurements if anyone wants them and found an online supplier that allows you to spec it (unlike most).

Ohh and thanks for the earlier tip here the grille has been polished with Autosol and is now shiny and water mark free.

Dosn't that piece of white Gaffa tape grate too?

It does! But it's probably for the best (especially given the prevalence of camera vans)!

Enjoyed a great drive in the Colorado mountains and two evenings in a casino. We had twenty-three Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and Jaguars.
