Morning all, thought I'd say hi.

Not been able to.make any meets recently, a mixture of finding myself from too busy and also not having an Italian car which makes some meets a bit difficult.

Hopefully be able to catch up with you lot soon!

Morning.

Stinking cold but a day off.

Ross no Italian car required, you should know that. Bring it to Ace next Thursday.

Morning all, after the most bizarre day yesterday I still have catching up to do this morning before heading to Hackney again. See Kismet thread.

Have fun all...

Morning,

Stinking cold too. I blame the trip to Brooklands. Should be working but headachey and can't concentrate.

Hope everyone has a better day than me.

Morning all. Woken up in a rather overcast Swindon this morning. Three more hotels to survey today.

Have a good one all!

Good Morning everyone, it is Wednesday already, traffic heavy but saw a Fox on the way in on the M25, it was doing 65mph... As it was an Alvis Fox

That really does look nice. Good holiday choice, Ho-Yin. What do you think of the GTS as an intercontinental tourer? We did a >2k mile France - Italy - Switzerland - Germany - Netherlands trip a few years ago when the boys were short enough to fit comfortably in the back. It was immense and the car was fantastic!

Absolutely brilliant.

3 adults and a 1.5 year old. Stroller, bath and bed and all our clothes packed. Cruising everywhere. Can't really hammer it as my dad is old and quite fragile.

But the number of people waving, thumbs up and asking to take photos of the car have been crazy. They love a Masser here. When the guys come on the Spain trip - Spain won't know what hit them!

People taking photos of my car rather than the scenery.

Now in a penthouse apartment in Santander.

Been really nice. And really very few cars on the road compared to the UK. A real pleasure. But the driving standard in the cities is appalling!! I drive slow and keep my distance from everyone especially those in the lanes next to me.

But this is also the largest car I have ever taken on a road trip.

Previously it has always been 2 people and a 2 seater car with no luggage space. So this a luxury for me!

Hello from Mahe Island, very nice, managed to have a fight with a car last night and I knocked the wing mirror off so it came off much worse. Drivers are mad and no pavements makes running challenging!

It's not too shabby here.

Business on Emirates was ok, prefer Club World but the beauty of the A380 was bar on board which I propped up all the way :D

First impressions of Christian Lewis Performance Cars are very good. At the very least, they're a great bunch and have some extremely nice cars but my GTS sounds best (according to me). They have a customer's Cali in at the moment, and at the risk of accidentally starting a pub fight, it looks really good in white with a red interior. The rear seats were pointless for anyone over about 5'6", unfortunately, but the rest of the car looked really nice and I'm tempted to take one for a test drive.

Phil, that looks shite. I'd get yourself home, fella. Agree re Club World, by the way. Food in Emirates is better, but the service not as good - they're dealing with so many more people it becomes less personal. As you say, though the 380 is great and so quiet. You should try Qatar. Knocks 'em both into a cocked hat.

Agree, Ed at Christian Lewis is great. Not seen the facility but will do one day.

Adam, will try Qatar for sure, only flown then short haul (Dubai to Doha) years ago so didn't get the full experience. I've flown Qantas 380 too not too shabby. Singapore are meant to blow them all away!

Yep to Singapore. On my last flight in first I got a double bed!

You can try. But if it doesn't fit you are walking to Le Mans or going commando for a week!

Especially if you're coming from Ashford with me. My boot will be full of my stuff!
Vodka, rum, etc etc etc
