Came out to find the driver's window smashed in with a vodka bottle. Looks like they just did it for fun. Not sure why the alarm didn't seem to go off. Not even good vodka. Ugh.
Bugger how awful frown wtf is that all about?

I have PM'd those that were concerned about the Vanquish going on the Mallaig / Skye ferry.
No problem at all. The loading guys stopped all other loading whilst they checked all clearances as we boarded. Couldn't have been more careful and would have allowed us to reverse off if we were unhappy.
Drive through Glencoe. Fort William to Mallaig A830,white sands of Morar. And then toured Skye
A good day
Pass of the cattle tomorrow with a quick langoustine lunch at Applecross ( so recommends Ed!)

I presume you have done the Applecross road before ,hope you don't meet anything on the initial section as road must be about same width as a Vanquish.

On a road trip round France and ended up on Ile De Re, small island off La Rochelle. Private parking but there was the dreaded metal spike set in concrete in centre of drive so I tried to get a s close to gate post. My mate (not any more) told me to put wing mirrors in and he would guide me in... CRUNCH!.. Hit offside wheel arch.... Off to Chiltern when I get back....

After a 300 mile round trip yesterday (sadly all motorway), washed and polished my DB9 and fitted its new cover....

Had Johnny from Pure Detail to come give the car some TLC.

He may as well do a few others for me whilst he is here as it has been a while since he has applied his skills on them.

Having the GTechnic crystal serum (or whatever its called) put on the cars.

Any NW owners, i can recommend him highly.

Left my 06 V8V at home and went in this to Goodwood Revival (better parking for older cars);)

Parked just in front of that yesterday - the Range Rover next to it was pretty special, too.

Took the car for a blast and stopped at the Army Museum of Flying near Middle Wallop... I was considering the '4 cannon' upgrade to my car but apparently it won't handle the weight. I shall have to rely on overtaking some of the muppets on the roads then! tank

You should remember to display your blue badge when parking in a disabled space so that people dont think you are a k**b wink
