I think you finally have Triggers 599 Cake…

Is it the same broom if only like for like? Definitely a new broom but same skin.

Can we say that of ourselves?

We need to go and sail with Theseus

That’s the second time Theseus has come up in 24 hours in relation to the broom.

I’d never come across him until yesterday and now twice.

PH, source of intellectual mastication

This made me smile
Keep on rockin Cake, you are driving for us both now. Immediately following Goodwood, I got a call from the Thatcher informing me that the roof patch up job would actually most likely be most of a new roof Car money is literally going into straw instead

Hi Brother,

For a moment I thought a former Prime Minister had called. Donkeys like straw.

Anyway, I think literally keeping a roof over your families head is a justified expense, no man maths required.

New bulbs installed


This panel in the wheel arch needs removing


Which reveals the light cluster

D1S going in


H6W for the DRL


LED conversion isn't available and DRLs look distinctly yellow compared to the main beam

Just tried to change mine whilst it was in for a pre Sweden road trip at the weekend to those upgraded D1S, throws up an error for Bulb Failure, which is weird, did you get the same ??

Also i found some LED side lights, they look great, will post a pic when i get the car back as ut threw a gearbox oil
cooler on the way down, think it was a stone going through it

Well Mr Cake - you’ve fitted F12 wheels to your 599. I’m going the other way. 599 wheels on the F12.

I managed to get hold of these barely used beauties and their Ti bolts but unfortunately, it turns out that they’re a mixed batch and I only realised after I cleaned them up outdoors that the paint match between fronts and rears isn’t quite right. I’m going to have the fronts resprayed unless otherwise advised by my mechanic.
