Five and a half days to clean polish and seal a Vantage S in Stratus White that was 1 week old and that had never seen rain. Though it had been washed twice and polished once. So pleased to know things are progressing!!!!!!!!!
Money well spent hehe

I should take care now that you are back in the UK, as another owner has recently been handed a fixed penalty notice by the police for having an in appropriately spaced plate - D13 PHL - you can read about it on the AMOC Forum.

Drove in Lance to Brands Hatch yesterday, met up with a few AM owners and drove the V12VS around Brands Hatch (3 times). A good day indeed biggrin I am not allowed to say anything about the car though nono Especially the brakes, gearbox, engine, suspension, steering or anything else that may be different to the old V12V biggrin Nope I cannot say anything.

I will be at Brands on Sunday also and I will still not be saying anything.

Thank you Aston for a great day out yes

BR collected Vesuvius from Paintshield. Would I recommend Paintshield, would I recommend Xpel Ultimate, without hesitation.yes Paintshield bosses Tom and Ann Wakeford are and deserve to be, extremely proud of the high standard of service they provide, their staff as polite as they are conscientious. The product Xpel Ultimate, is just amazing. thumbup

I have tried to upload pictures but sadly Thumbsnap not working. frown

Had my full 'new car' detail done today. Also tried fitting my stoneguards but seems they gave me wrong ones (for a Lagonda?!?) Also fitted new overmats - 99 quid for 20mm lush ones off Fleabay.

That looks stunning Phil. I agree wholeheartedly about Paintshield as well. What's happening at BR?

Hi Simon, thanks.

BR are doing some cosmetics, external and internal, also giving Vesuvius Vanquish bhp + exhaust manifold/sound mods. I think Mike is going to post the details.

I'm Bob by the way. smile

Im simply not using my V12V. Done 500 miles since october and that was a trip to Durham and back last months. Real shame but I simply can't find the time. It sits in a dehumidified garage nicely polished under a cover and maybe I should just leave it there until in 30 years time where it will come out as an original barn find worth gazillions.
