Sold it, and watched as it was driven away. Broke my heart!

Still not decided on an F type and currently working out if I can get hold out and get back into an AM by summer next year or if it will have to be the year after. We'll see!

Had it detailed:

Saved me cleaning it for 8 hours - although that would have been a day well spent.

Well done, I hope the Rapide was suitably Rapide!

Ha! No Dean it wasnt!

I have these PSS tyres that I rave about, and that are superb in the wet, so felt fairly confident, even though it was wet. Was literally telling my lad how we would be going pretty slowly as the track is notoriously slippery when wet then >SNAP< the boot tries to swap places with the bonnet! Literally it was like ice in places on the racing line! They closed the track for an hour after I finished my granny lap - the race school car (that had clearly been chasing me ( wink LOL) followed later as mangled wreck on the back of a truck!

THIS is how you do it in the wet - how amazing is this woman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnJOC_dDXzM

Pity you didn`t have dry conditions, I think that track was designed to catch out the uninitiated and in the wet it must be nerve-wracking! At least you`ve done it though. thumbup
Schmitz is pretty handy with a steering wheel!

I had a sudden trip to Zurich, that`s twice in a fortnight when I have not been in the city for over a year! Of course there was time for a couple of photos at an old warehouse next to the lake.
While there a completely black DB11 drove past, and it looked fantastic! I find it curious that these cars look so much better in person than they seem to photograph, mind you I`ve met some attractive people over the years that are not photogenic either!

Replaced thermostat & bonnet latch switch. A bit of a faff but we got there in the end.

And I added a cheeky little sticker to the rear window:

Hi James - the new car looks lovely - didn't realise you had it at the Crown, would have good to see it close up, maybe next time!

Great picture and wonderful cars - imagine living somewhere where it's not raining all the time smile

The Volante looks stunning. Is that Ceramic with a Chancellor Red interior? I thought someone had scratched Jonby's old V12VR biglaugh

Hi Ian
Forgive me if I've misread your message but were you referring to my photo?
If so they are both coupes. The one on the left is Meteorite, that on the right is Skyfall.
Like my mates gaff?
