To be fair, I think that's about the only hopeless video you've ever posted and you can't please all the people all the time and this is PH wink

I liked all the others though smile

I would have like some growling engines, some drifting and some.. oh wait where is Chris Harris ? I blame him for lifting the bar laugh
That's very kind of you to say so - personally I think some of my other vids have been pretty wet, too.

And yes, Mr Harris has rather lifted the bar. Damn him wink

Actually the video is in line with the "setting" from which the car is being sold.

I saw this thing coming towards me last week (or maybe the week before), in Virginia Water. Looks good. I guess it was off to the reseller who has some sort of strange outpost at the end of my road. I say strange because at any one time there must be 2 or 3 million pounds worth of vehicles parked for sale (I think) on their tiny forecourt. Not quite sure they are actually for sale because they don't always have prices or even "poa" in the windscreens.

Also the gaff was broken into ages ago and the main entrance was boarded up with a lump of old ply-wood. 2-3 months later the "temporary" repair is still there. Not quite the right greeting you would expect if you were thinking of parting with a million or two for a Lambo Revention for example or even a full carbon edition Zonda?

Odd....

Will not pass comment on the video, but I will have to send PH another for their archives as soon as my car arrives and we head into London for some street driving!

However thought I would just explain the building in Virginia Water which is Mono UK's Dealership (as well as Koenigsegg). The Dell Boy repair on the front, this was supposed to be a temporary measure but has turned into a long term structure, not something we really wanted to happen.

The building was not broken into but back when we had all that snow some lunatic came down the hill onto the junction tried to turn left and just went straight on! Luckily the security door did its job but took a pounding at the same time.

With us pretty much flattening the whole ground floor of the building and constructing a glass gin palace for the Mono to occupy we though a temporary repair would be sufficient and not hang around long however between problems with planning, architects and adverse weather holding up our builders temporary has turned into permanent and your right it is S**T! The cars are pretty epic though, we like to think this makes up for it!

Feel free to pop in next time your passing for a look around.

Again, sadly not. But I am sure that this isn't PH's last meeting with the Mono...

Hey Tom, that is a very fair response and it's appreciated. You must admit though, it does look crap! Which is a pity because I used to turn left before I got to the end of the road where you guys are, but now I purposely turn at your junction just to see what cars you have lined up... lick

Get that stitch up N leggett structure out of the way, put some nice glitterati signs up and give the cars you store and show the presence they deserve.

Thanks for the invite, I do go past and get a wave from you when I drift past on the odd occasion and it wasn't me that re-arranged your shutters - it took me an hour to get up my own driveway in December!!


In the interim, just in case you have got used to the front entrance, here is what it looks like to passers by....
