Good idea Rick.

BTW Keep meaning to get over and see if you've got a DB7V in with one of your exhaust mods that sounds something like it should. I have the factory sport exhaust and would like to get away from the 'turbine' note it currently has. I could live with it being a little 'throatier'.

Am in Leicester, so it's a short hop for me. Let me know when and I'll nip over.

Mark.

spoke to the lads first and no concerns were raised, as we are so used to people staying with us whilst we work on the cars asking questions and seeing what is involved, it was just an idea that if we had someone's car in they could remotely see how we are looking after it, so at this stage it is public this may change and instead we will give the owners of the cars we have in a user name and password for access,

obviously some people would not like to see there numberplate broadcast, i will gauge the interest of customers and there comments, i will then decide if it will stay public or private,

I've done the maths for my 3 year service (to include petrol and a hotel etc) and it does make very much sense indeed from the south coast.
