This week's edition of Autocar contains a rather mundane piece where Steve Cropley spends a day shadowing Palmer. In amongst the PR blurb of the article is a snippet which made me smirk a little.

It's the meeting at 10:50 which confronts quality issues and how to resolve them:
"Some of the group look uncertain about a hack being alerted to rare Aston faults, but the truth is I'm impressed with the rigour these people apply to fixing things."

The items being discussed? Those very secret faults such as the sun affecting and lifting leather, corrosion around the door handles and trapped earth wires causing electrical maladies. I think Cropley may have a different understanding of the word "rigour" than I do.

Oh well, better late than never I suppose.
