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.
You could just donate it to me....I'll use it!
nono sorry Mark, you need to MTFU first yes

Now then Pedro, just because I actually work for a living and can't spend my life in Soho boozing doesn't make me a bad person now, does it? I shall send a representative to Wales for the forthcoming gathering - he will enjoy himself on my behalf. Git.

I don't flying about the country all day in a range of jets / helicopters should really be classed as working!

Brought it back from a weekend at the Nurburgring - dirty and tired (the car and me respectively)


Very nice image. Great to see a nicely framed motion shot.

Covered 1000 miles in 3 days - Fab

NE to Norwich / Norwich to Eurotunnel (stayed at Marquis in Alkham - thoroughly recommended) / Tunnel to Troyes / Troyes to somewhere near to Otange (fab Chateau)

Few days by the pool and driving around Verdon / N85 etc

Then up to Garda via the tunnels

Perfect in a dbs

Love it when you have a chain of car followers and then kids vid you as u go past

So you are smile Sorry about that!
I need to apologise too, for not mentioning Francis. His experties in detailing the paintwork prior to the film being fitted, as Paintshield boss Tom declared, 'gave his product the very best of finished surfaces to be fixed to, showing when out in the sunlight, every metalic flake'. So yes Simon, stunning sums it up nicely. yes

I'm with Pedro on this. I think that you are just Nick' s imaginary friend.

Never seen the two of you together which goes along way to proving our point.

Had you been with Nick only 3 hours ago, your wish would have come true. See you all in Wales.

Bum, I peaked too soon - just been in Wales, golfing and running-in the DB9.
Satnav sent me up some farmer's driveway 2 inches wider than my car and 3.6 miles long! However, at the end was a stunning stretch of road for 6.6 miles; just humps and straightaways and not another car in sight. Brilliant.
Then I hit the 3.5 miles of re-surfacing and 500 tons of bl00dy grit!! 20mph for about half an hour - ouch. Thank Gawd for the protective film on front and rear arches.

Did nothing with my car. Snow foamed, washed, dried and waxed Mrs Woollie's car though. She's a lucky lady smile
