I've got a QP-sized Auto Cover languishing in the garage while my QP sits uncovered on the drive. Living on a hill, the wind whips about up here. So while the cover was tethered and weather resistant, it kept getting forcibly repositioned by the wind, resulting in me abandoning it.

Very cool, but a lot of money for a Citroen!: https://www.ddclassics.com/used/cars/citroen/ds/21-berline-chapron-majesty-226

Fair enough. Won't argue with him.

Love this. The photorealism reminds me of 'The White Dame': https://automobilist.com/en-gb/products/the-white-dame-artwork?variant=44617865101587&gad_source=1 I was looking for a picture for my study, but c. £3k for the large one is too rich for me.

When my battery went dead last year, the alarm worked for a bit after the car wouldn't start, but then eventually that stopped working too and the car sealed itself like a tomb. The only way in was through the boot. The RAC used their diagnostics to check for any issues and then installed a new...

Gutted that I've been informed I'm required elsewhere on that Sunday so won't be able to attend after all. :-(

Would also recommend Giallo - Matthew is very knowledgeable, as Alan says, and helped me fix the essentials on my QP shortly after I purchased.

No worries, Nibby. Hope to see you there next time. I missed this month's meet, assuming it went ahead, but will be aiming to attend in May. If they weather stays fine I might head down to Hatfield House today for a AMOC meet - I love an old Aston.

Just given the QPV a wash to celebrate purchasng my Salon Prive ticket :-)

Last week's MOT confirms 1,440 miles for my QPV over the past 12 months. I reckon that's c. £2.18 per mile (assuming no depreciation!!). Not a bad year. Upping the mileage would help the cost per mile, if not the resale value. :-)
