All you've got to do now Ian is keep them clean rofl

Best to you and M.
Found that out on the way home - isn't Devon red mud great!! Leaves with wheels with a lovely two tone patina rolleyes Still less spokes to clean and the more I look at it the better it looks.

Hope you and Lady B have a great New Year and see you both on the 15th.

Bananarob - you have a DBS, your Manual should have similar comments early in section 2 to those of a DB9 ie (not verbatim) that the car is supplied with one Glass Emotion Control Unit, one plastic Emotion Control Unit and one leather pouch.
Indeed it came with all the above, infact 2 leather pouches but i mislayed one. The issue with them is after small amounts of use, they lose their shape and the keys just slip out (usually at the worst time onto hardened ground!). Additionally they are easy to mislay as proven! This revised pouch should solve both issues! Thanks again!

That one is still a stunning watch smile

I think the red, white and green is actually something to do with a Mexican racing driver.

Can report back on the new style leather holder, shIpped very quickly and arrived in Saturday, very happy, good quality and will hopefully increase the life span of the existing key, had stopped using it due to damage limitation!

Only other thing I'm still waiting for is a carbon gear knob to replace the existing chrome one. Works don't seem to have come up with anything despite numerous DBS and v12v owners highlighting their desire! Anyone heard any update on this?

I didn't hear anymore on the carbon fibre knob front either from WS and come to think of it there's no news on
carbon fibre gag I suggested for her indoors......

Rob,

No chance of her reading this as I'm safely home alone at the moment...think she's gone to the Gags R Us New Year
sale with the daughters.

Anyone know where to get the AM calenders from please (not personalised a la Di) I had one for 2010 - photograped by Rene Staud - but my ex-dealer (now just Hertitage)said that they were not available last year :-(

Thanks
Tony

Not as yet dear boy but all things are fluid.

Rachel has phoned and is keen to keep me in the fold so you never know what might happen next......

Been looking at all sorts of weird and wonderfuls to be honest but the Lady Eleanor keeps asking "but will you use it Ed"

Lovely woman and all that but just doesn't understand the car thing.

Convinced SWMBO's parents to buy me one of these as a belated Christmas present and it turned up today. I think her father secretly wants to have a drive of the car though, so it's probably an ulterior motive. biggrin

Thanks for the heads up, Mikey, I couldn't find a key holder anywhere else.
