Been out enjoying it after Paddy spent 2 days getting it looking great, to anyone who is contemplating having the paintwork on their pride and joy worked on I can really recommend him. He puts in a lot of hours and the result is a credit to his work ethic.
Apologies to Paddy though as my poor photography really doesn't do justice to his work.

Nothing!!!
Still waiting for her to come back from service and a few warranty items.
I did have the pleasure of a new Vanquish for a week though. Very nice, although I do miss mine!!
Will be worth it when it comes back ready for Burghley.

The lunchtime track parade looked pretty pedestrian from where we were in the BRDC grandstand - did you get out of 1st gear? Lots of hurry up and wait too. We didn't do the lap because I forgot my DL. Last time I did a "parade" we got 4 laps, 3 without the safety car, and passing was allowed

Believe me, out of site of the stand we managed to open it up...I was quite close to the back and though it wasn't a consistently fast lap it was still thrilling

You were lucky wink last year at Brands all we got was one slow lap and then we sat on the grid for 10 mins. before we were ushered off. Don't know how someone got the picture below wink Wasn't bothered though because only a month or so before I'd had a couple of hours on Monza biggrin

Thanks,
2 or 3 laps would have been great.......but 1was good.........I suspect that racing was behind schedule.....and that was what the day was about after all.

Went to monthly breakfast meet at Shelsley Walsh

A couple of number plates to wind George up:





Some local colour:



Got our usual slot (always in good company but different every time). What about the registration on that French fancy - go on then - can anyone name the manufacturer (or what the reg number means wink )?

Thing is they look pretty crass laugh I've always thought if you have to place a strategic screw to make it mean anything it's means you can't afford a proper one!

Gettoff says it's a Venturi Atlantique & I believe he is correct

Crass indeed. You would have to be such a vein tt to do that to a number plate. Those yellow and orange jap things are truly awful too hurl

It is not just George being 'wound up'.

I can usually see what a numberplate was, prior to the tampering, but need help to solve this one.

It cannot be W00 SSH, so the clues to solving this, must involve the black bolt head and the white bolt head.

If the second character is really an 8, then we have W80 SSH, which would be a legitimate registration. However if so, why use a bolt head in the W ?

To be able to own a shiny black Porsche probably involves hard graft, but mis-spelling whoosh risks a reprimand from our resident linguistic Professor Jockman. smile
