    The good morning thread

    I must say the customer service at Dick Lovett was the best I've ever had from any dealer. On arrival they checked the car in and gave me a 20 min tour of the workshops - which were v impressive. There was some serious metal in there including 2 x 250 California's worth circa £1.6m each. I'd...

    I almost rang you on the way back Andy as I went over the old bridge and guessed I wasn't far from you, but it was almost 6pm by then and guessed you probably had better things to do on a Friday night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The closest age/mileage cars to mine are currently for sale are in the £26-£28k area, though what they will sell for might be another matter... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pin a tail on the donkey - aka 'Price the GS'

    So, after a day spent at Dick Lovett yesterday whilst my GS was serviced, I've got a growing desire to upgrade to a newer model. I've always liked the GT but I drove the new Ghibli yesterday and was very impressed with that too - a great all rounder. So after only a few months of owning the GS...

    Really pleased actually Robert. Annual service carried out. Clutch reading only 42% worn. No issues found. I asked them to look at the alignment of the driver's side window - apparently there is some adjustment in the regulator but their advice was to leave it be if it's not leaking water, as...

    Hehe - absolutely! Their technician has just told me that my GS is one of the best examples he's seen/ worked on in many years. I don't think he's got an agenda and I'm accepting the flattery graciously! Going to take a Ghibli out shortly... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No idea. The pricing of stuff over here is insane... For example, a beer in our hotel is £6. A cup of tea is £8. Work that one out. An Omega watch that's roughly £2200 in the UK is almost £7k out here. Madness. I saw a guy in a bog basic BMW 318 today and surmised that he must be a...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Maserati's - Spotted No Maseratis spotted in Shanghai so far. Unsurprising really seeing as anything from the West seems to cost 4 times the price back home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Morning all Last chance for me to get some work completed this morning ahead of the trip to Shanghai next week. Got the afternoon off as my eldest bro is coming up from Dorset and we're off to watch Wales lose to France at the millennium stadium this evening (preceded by a few beers and a...

    Chris Harris 4c review..

    Another great video from Chris Harris, this time reviewing the 4c. http://youtu.be/KnuNv77rB0Q I enjoyed the TG review but this guys reviews are better in my opinion... He seems to be gaining in popularity too - wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the mainstream channels offers him a car...
