Good morning everyone, first day back to work today. Not looking forward to it. Planes are flying so it can't be bad. Apologies to Monarch...

Morning.

First day back in the office after an epic trip. Sitting here deciding where to start but brain not functioning properly yet!

Morning everyone!
It's sunny but you'll be pleased to hear that my knees were covered for once on my ride to work.

Morning all from Tonbridge station waiting for a train back to Ashford after dropping the GT off at Giallo to sort the oil and clutch fluid leaks.
Hopefully that’ll be the end of the leaks. Especially as it’s holding up the paint and detail the car was due.
And the fact that the floor of my garage is looking a mess.

Just got fantastic news, Sally has got her Fellowship of the Insurance Industry pretty much 4 years to the day from starting in it!!! A rising star that one makes her FCII, Msc, Bsc! The records keep falling, got the insurance degree in the shortest time ever and with the highest mark ever given! Proud daddy moment!

Morning all,

It's only 11:30am, and my brain is fried after 4+ hours of deep thinking, debate, and strategising about how as a business we ought to be addressing a particular issue.

Time for a jelly baby or three as a sugar fix, plus a shot of caffeine!

Hello from Hilversum, Nederlands. It's a nice day out there as it is back home. Nothing much to report other than working and still trying to get over manflu.

Have a great week all.

Ok so after nearly a week and a half today I broke and had to go fix something... spent the afternoon in the underground hotel car park, drivers footwell panel off, the GS drain pipe is notably smaller! Pulled it out but just a weep! Passenger panel out but no help, top cover off to find the fan housing weeping also so at least I know why that footwell is sodden! Wiper off, scuttle off, cover plate off and find the limits of the Maserati tool kit! Oh well google hardware stores in Lloret; two within 200m of me ok; except Catalan is descending into anarchy and a day of national strikes so most places are closed including both hardware stores. Fortunately there is an Alladin's cave next to the hotel and I found many useful things including the required 7mm socket on a T-bar. Filter out to find as suspected 50% full of water and leaves, back to Alladins to get stuff to mop up!

All resolved, old filter knocked out and reinstalled for now, rebuilt and a de-humidifier pot placed in the footwell for the way home. Sanity restored, retire to poolside for much more rum & Coke!!!!

Dave - You'll be glad to know I've finally got round to fixing the tile on my roof....

Floor is still a monster mix-up, but at least one thing is fixed!

Lol, sorry Martin, got to turn up for paid work before Cyprus Sunday, are you all sold up then, made a killing....GTS time?

Buying a bigger place, need every penny...but...

After 'living' with some GTS's I don't think that they are the 'true' progression from the 3200/4200/GS line... too big, not as blindingly fast in a straight line, kept up with one going up hill last week, only beaten by the faster gear changes. So when I get my new garage together I'm going to sort out a few shortcomings due to age on mine. (Bushes, rear tyres, Geometry, exhaust and Lambdas...

So now that I've lit the blue touch paper, I'm going to retire...
