Looks stunning Humphrey! Am I right in assuming that no car has ever had to be cleaned so much as this one - its always on show! Worth every second mind smile

Boring question jazzmonkey but what make/model child seat is that?!

Since collecting my car in August I have spent many months dealing with a few issues, some big some small, with the final niggle, a cabin buzz, sorted by JCT Leeds who did a fantastic job yesterday. I love the car and feel it had a hard first owner, so my tlc and perseverance has made it feel very special again. Driving home the car felt finally done, sorted, everything as it should be. Gave it a wash and everything was looking perfect.

This afternoon, whilst moving my GSA motorbike in readiness for the NC500 trip I managed to drop the bike on to the car so now have a front wing with significant damage in need of repair. Calls made, awaiting responses.

I feel jinxed, and a bit sick.

Given all the shows and charity support you've done I was expecting to be a LOT more than that! Glad you're enjoying them smile

Booked it into my nearest service centre to have a look at the Emissions system, an error two many for my liking, hopefully it's nothing.

That`s horrible luck mate, I hope the sorting out is quick and relatively painless.

That’s horrible - but you will get it back as new again! Just remember, keep things in perspective - life could be a whole lot worse...

Thanks for the kind words chaps, really is just what I need, much appreciated. I am off to see a very reputable repairer/restorer that is conveniently not far away first thing tomorrow to get a verdict. I have a friend staying over who is keen for a drive in the car which would otherwise not have happened, so clouds and silver linings. smile

Flippin heck Soofsayer, it never rains but it pours comes to mind. You must be gutted! Hope it's a case of it looks worse than it is (can't really tell from the photo). All the best and hopefully incident free motoring from now on.

Great to see it and to meet you at the show yesterday. One of the most beautiful cars at the show - might have said the most beautiful if there hadn't been a stunning DB11 Volante nearby! Well done for the fantastic way you are using the car to help a good cause.

Drove my DBS home with (left) foot in a protective boot after fracturing my ankle playing football this morning frown

Thankfully just a small fracture so hopefully the car won’t sit idle for too long...

(Humphrey- RED10 looking stunning and well done you for your continuing charitable work...)
