Wedding for me today with the 458 and Ghibli. Nice schlep over to the Cotswolds (Chipping Norton) so come say hi if you are out that way. Listen out for us we like to announce our arrival! :D

No pain Matt, just a crappy little car, I’d rather be working on something fun but it was very cheap at a time he had nothing, it is now a second car for him and his gf so not high on the replacement list for him. Just keeping it going, spent £160 on parts £120 back at Christmas when a wheel bearing failed so still a cheap runaround.

For me the new Vantage looks much better in the flesh than pictures. Can be colour destined though and the lighter colours needs the rear valance option if colour coding and also al should have the four pipe sports exhaust as it sounds much better. White looks great with the accent pack in red but not many go for the accent pack....It's a very muscular looking car and the front will always devide. You can now order an aero pack as well which was on the heritage editions at Goodwood and I though this looked great in the car. Not a rear wing fan but it worked. I have been wondering when the roadster will be released. Of for Dick Lovett today as Alex (maybe me a little but to) wants to have a look at their kermit green GT12....

I’m told that a V12 version will happen, but the V8 is so blisteringly quick and so well balanced that I can’t imagine what a V12 would really offer. The V8 can already be tuned to DBSS performance levels. For me, a roadster may be just the job. But that God-awful infotainment needs binning. See what nuggets of intel you and Alex can glean from DL, Andy.

Past worrying about tax, come December I’ll be straight with them for the first time in over 10 years! Just in time for payment on account at the end of January!

Soddin Fiesta failed on ARB drop links and tin worm on one sill! Bit harsh but I’ll have to consider options, wether to weld myself or farm it out???

Drop links will cost next to nothing and you can weld the will mate.
Just time against you I reckon.

Tester wants to see ‘continuous structural welds’ so what are the implications of that statement?

Morning rabble!
Looks like another lovely day out there. I'm contemplating an outdoor swim shortly, then church and then an afternoon with good friends I don't get to see much.
HapPea Sunday!

Sounds like your kind of day. Teaching this morning, then my instructor is coming round for lunch and to discuss some issues he's got with a couple of the students.
Then a lazy pm watching movies I suspect. Should be fun

Have a great one all

Must have needed it Andy.

Morning mob, more fence this morning, hoping to get all the spiles on today, that would be great. Got a big pot of duck breast marinading for a family bbq at Sally’s later.

Have fun all...
