Well, not exactly, but i have been featured in the latest issue of AM quarterly. It is a write up following the auction at burghley. I must point out that the camera adds 10 pounds and I'm not really that much of a fat bd. Well, i didn't think i was until i saw the pics!

I'm thinking that at the very least. I'm thinking a knighthood.

What happened to your How to Detail video, Francis?

You raised our expectations, but nothing has been said recently.

That's all in hand. I was using a 720p Nikon camera to record the footage, but I didn't think it was good enough, so I've just bought a 4K video camera, so it will look much better. First one is likely to be a leather cleaning/interior one.

I am going to agree with Paddy's mum.

He is special and awesome and looking mighty fine in my opinion.

He also let me hijack this thread to promote my upcoming efforts in a Strictly Come Dancing competition supporting two very worthy causes at both ends of life's spectrum (a Children's Hospital and a Dementia charity).

Paddy has been very generous, thank you. For those of you at various events this year wondering why I was looking so svelte, I recommend you try dancing! I suggested it to Paddy but he claimed a dodgy back through keeping all of your cars clean!

Anyway here is the link if you could please consider any small donation:

No worries at all. Both are fantastic causes.

Paddy's problems aren't with his back, they are down to the amount of cake he puts in his mouth (only joking mate)!

He does do superb (frankly, incredible) work on our cars though and deserves recognition and wider exposure for this. If I can dig out some old photos I might just start a St Paddy thread!

No need to dig any old photos out. Just buy a new car and we can get some new pics lol.
