Morning all....back to work...Although still bringing up green stuff off the chest that Kermit The Frog would be proud of.

On a different note Aston have now released official pictures of the Vantage roadster. Seems to work but I know lots don't like the face. looking at the front something looks different. It looks more DB9 than Vantage. Then it hit me...The plastic big around the grill has gone and the mesh has been replaced by slats which for me works much better. And is available on the Coupe as well.
Other news it the coupe has been reduced to 114k from 120k and both are available with the manual gearbox. Looks like Aston have had a rethink.

I'm going to see if the motorway CCTV may have caught it. Long shot but if the camera were looking the right way, there's a chance. Also, I'll ask the highways agency people who helped clear the scene for their statement of fact as it'll make it evident there would have been a lane-changing cut-up incident.
The company to avoid is HCL Service Centre in Chertsey... unless they decide to be honest.
Morning.

Stevie, this will rank nicely and come up on google searches when people look them up. Some justice.

D0uchebags!

Ironically they're A Merc Specialist Garage! Probably creating their own business hitting other mercs.

Good morning everyone, its cold today. Last day before working the weekend.

If you're in the same area today, feel free to ignore my close physical presence in favour of the view ;)

C

Are not the two things the same? Anyway, I thought you were more out Clapham way. Or did I make that up?

Morning, all. Just another day today. I'm hoping to not get hacked by the evil overlords of our financial system who have implanted one of those corona viruses on my laptop or banking app. Although I did read in the Jerusalem Times that eating gold can make your immune. To what is not clear, but I'm taking no chances.

Morning, quick drop into office before out on a 2 day workshop on sustainability in retail - reading the brief it appears we are considering turning our luxury store into a recycle clothing centre similar to a charity shop just for expensive brands and it';s going to take us 2 days to discuss this bonkers idea.

I've just been called by the other party - the owners of the car, and they're putting 100% on me. Very unpleasant people. They're a crash repair shop who have the car of the lady who caused it in for repair. It's not even her own policy so she should just admit it.

Not good news, one of the reasons I now have dashcams in the daily drivers

Hello you lot!
Thanks for all your support at the moment. It's genuinely really helpful and shows why this forum is so much more than just some people who like cars. This crash combined with the absolute sh1tstorm that is work are really pushing my mental health. I've been physically shaking for most of the last four days.
Whole company meeting today... let's see what they're up to.
HapPea Wednesday!
