Lovely.

Did you go somewhere youd recommend? I go that way a fair bit but have no clue about good eateries in the area.....

Hope Valley is very pub-grub-for-tourist focused, it's all okay but nothing amazing, I've heard The Samuel Fox is really good but I've not eaten there.

My favourite place to eat in the Peak is The Swan in Kettleshulme, they deserve a Michelin star; though the car park can be nerve wracking.

Bailey's Restaurant in Whaley Bridge and The Royal Oak in Hurdlow are also good.

Such a beautiful day came home early from work and gave her a wash...

Partying on a Friday night...

My car got fitted with new sports seats/door cards and wheels/tyres. Apologies for poor pictures, in too much of a rush to drive her.

Will provide a separate topic for all changes later.

Looking good! Have just ordered a pair of lightweight seats for mine so be interesting to hear about your seat swap.

It was painful for many reasons, but they’re in now and I’ve just got to do a few finishing touches.

Mine are actually Cobra not Recaro, so that complicated things a little.

Just bought it, returning to the fold having sold my 2001 Vank last year. Gave it a bit of a clean and replaced front carpets due to spillage of something alien





25k mile on a 2007 4.3, all the options of the day. Different car entirely to the Vank, good, just different.

Lovely, and welcome back.

I just cleaned the Vantage in case I make it to Bicester tomorrow.

And of course, this brought the rain. Sorry.

I had ordered a new Alcantara Instrument Binnacle from the factory before November last year.
Since it was a nice sunny day today I dropped the roof and fitted the new Binnacle (2 minute job)

Something that has bugged me since I bought the car, I finally gave the rusty disc centres a quick coat of silver.
