    What are GT Autos worth?

    better than I ever expected it to be. not a car for driving hundreds of miles across continents in but, for day to day stuff - school run, commute, shops and similar it is brilliant. Quite nippy off the line up to about 40. Comfortable and nice enough to drive. Plenty of gadgets (tom tom...

    What are GT Autos worth?

    no replacement as yet (unless you count the renault ZOE that I am nipping about in) considering maybe a newer version GT-S, maybe a Lotus Evora, maybe a BMW F800 expedition... not that I am indecisive!

    Something is wrong with this sub-forum

    Had a great run out today including the Pickering to Whitby road.... I think some people in the car park at the top of Horcum Hole may have heard me going past.... ;-)

    Gliptone leather cleaner

    I got a pack of the drleather wipes earlier in the week and have been impressed with how well they work so easily. I have previously used gliptone and the stuff from LTT (which is good), but these wipes do a great job in no time at all. Well worth having a pack to hand imo.

    How much should a good detail cost?

    Mike at Deeper Detail / east yorkshire detailing http://east-yorkshire-detailing.co.uk did mine in 2012 when I got it 2 days work, light paint correction and a very thorough job that I have posted links to on here before http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=267571 £180...

    GTS iPod connectivity - idiots guide

    As others have mentioned, I have noticed that turning the ignition off and on can effect the ipod connectivity. Sometimes - and it seems random - the ipod isn't recognised, but an on / off for the ignition and there it is back... Had it last week when I stopped for petrol. I was listening to...

    Red paint for the trident?

    check the instructions on the paint about surface preparation too - some of them are a bit fussy (according to my young nephew who paints a lot of world of warcraft type figures)

    Snow foam to the party - the first clean

    I tend not to use snowfoam more than once a year - when I am doing a big big clean. Usually I do put a little bit of normal car shampoo in the detergent dispenser of the jet wash and cover the car with that first of all. It is a bit less fierce, but it still moves lots of the visible dirt when...

    What are GT Autos worth?

    Well, I am just waiting on the DVLA to get their act together with the retention of my plate and then it is good to go I spoke with Nareman at Nuvola who echoed the prices suggested here (equal expertise I would say!) and sounds sensible as a SOR option. I also had a chat with Graypaul and...

    What are GT Autos worth?

    Indeed broadly in line with what I was expecting. I am told that the spec was done by the Brand Manager at JCT600 Leeds at the request of the first owner... All in good order and all up to date with servicing etc. Tyres OK too. Will get it washed up, photos taken and get it up for sale...
