Hope those 24 hours go quickly for you.

Reference the glass switches you should be able to just get the 2 switches you are going to see/use, if Welwyn cant help on that one you could try Bamford Rose Mike is very helpful.

Mine has a problem with one of the new tyres not holding air so it has gone back to Works Service to be sorted, so there is now a void in my garage, what am I supposed to look at now!!!!
Thanks for the advice!

My sincerest sympathies on no longer having such a beautiful work of art to admire...they should've given you a courtesy car: don't they have any spare One-77s lying around...? biggrin
Wasn't going to be using it today anyway so didn't even ask for a courtesy car. They had picked it up in their covered transporter within 5 hours of being notified so can't be unhappy with that level of service.
I have a fair few pictures to drool over and having spent last week watching any and all videos of the V12S I have slipped back into that mode with great ease smile

Must have been 20 minutes passed for you now, assume you are going to be camped on their door step from dawn tomorrow.

That's good service. Looking at YouTube videos seems to be the only thing I've been doing in any spare time I've had over the last week...that exhaust noise... wink

Dawn tomorrow?? I'm leaving NOW...just in case. biggrin

Thank you my friend. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through...damn these first world problems(!)

Don't worry, I'll be putting up plenty of photos and the odd video of the epic sounds to tidy you over until your very own V12V (Roadster) comes along... wink

Tonight?? I haven't been sleeping all week! smile

The car is currently being valeted and I'll be sent over a photo later today which I will naturally share with you all. Exciting times...

I hope you're going to keep it professionally detailed?

I don't pay to get my car cleaned: I just wait for those people who start washing your windscreen when you're stuck in traffic, tell them to do the rest and then drive off. biggrin

Same as you. Struggled biggrin
It was a couple of years ago now. I had the V8 Vantage at the time but watched all the YouTube videos I could find biglaugh
I remember it was a Friday when I picked it up. I took my daughter with me cause the Mrs was working. It was the longest train journey of my life lol

Wow, this is almost identical to my own situation.
Have V8 now, youtube just stopped recommending new videos on the count I have watched them all, planning to pick her up on a Friday.

You will love it. As soon as you push that glass key in and hear the V12 roar it will all be worthwhile.
There's something special about it being a V12 and in the Vantage body.
Just remember, people will think your a freak for constantly smiling and nipping into the garage to admire your beauty biggrin
