Think of the V12 Adam, should motivate you till the end of the working day!

You're right... or at least thinking about paying for it! Just need to get the sodding thing back from Dub, which should be on Friday. There was a mix up with getting the ceramic wotsit done by F1 Wax and it's booked back in at the end of the month for that. The roof and lower bumper are at least PPF'd now, and the split splitter being repaired as we speak.

Right, back to work! Thanks. :t1:

Morning,

Would love a V12 too. I keep getting alerts from AutoTrader about them but so far they stay just outside my price range. Oh well, back to work I guess.

Speaking of which last day in the office for the week today. Presentation to write, so I think I'll struggle to stay awake.

Ghibli is still away getting professionally detailed so another raining day in the Alfa Spider. Should get it back on Saturday morning once everything has had time to cure.

Have a great day all

Morning all, off to pick up a 7.5t tail lift truck in a bit, down to South of Ashford to load it up, got my youngest eloping me again. Back later and start to unload it into the container.

Have fun all...

Another day of hard physical graft, Newton. You must sleep like a baby compared to us keyboard-warriors!

Morning, all. Off to the big city to ply my filthy trade today, then out for leaving drinks with one of the brighter stars from the London office today.

Tomorrow I hope to collect my car from Dub Customs which hasn't quite had all the work done that I'd hoped (geniuses, but busy as h3ll and maybe not always great at scheduling) but will at least be blessed with some automotive prophelactycs on its nose and on its roof, to protect it from rookshite and stones. It may also have a couple of cheeky but subtle stripes.

Have a good Thursday, all. Andy, happy birthday to Liz.

Good morning everyone!

Newton... your youngest "eloping" with you today??? Shocking!

Just a day in the office today. Plodding through and trying to stay sane for the next fortnight of a very heavy schedule. Thankfully I booked some holiday last night so I'll be off to the Alentejo in May. I think I may have also found a suitable sidekick for the Monaco trip.

New battery coming for Myfanwy today - the old one finally said it had had enough and that's no fun when you want to drive a Maserati. To be fair, the battery was on its way out when I got the car over 2 years ago, so I'm impressed.

HapPea Thursday!

Morning all. Office again this morning.

Just had some good news on my tyre front, a new rear tyre should be delivered today so I can get both rears and the spacers fitted tomorrow. And then get the tracking done next week.
As a bonus the weather is looking to improve after today so I can (try at least) keep the car nice and shiny after it's wash on Sunday. It's been living under it's cover all week so it won't be dusty either.

Good morning everyone, and happy birthday to Liz.

Wife sick in bed, some lurgy she's picked up from work. This wouldn't have happened in Ron's day!

Apparently the weather is now improving. Weekend looking good and next week will have something called "sun" and another thing called "not as cold". Nice!

Perfect. I picked up my 'other' rear tyre at lunch so tomorrow I will have new tyres all round on the GT, and the spacers are also going on!

Will give Marios chase regarding the X pipe as well.

All coming together nicely for Le Mans. Not long now!!!!

Everything collected from Ashford and Some bits distributed around the place. Got to get the rest into the container tomorrow so here's hoping for good weather.

Martin, passed the McLaren Tech centre yesterday and though about popping in to see Ira, probably just as well I didn't; wish her well for us.

Out of interest are the new tyres all of a similar manufacturing date Mark ?

Oh, don’t bloody get him started Phil. He’s finally got the b*stard things, let’s not get him all antsy about manufacturing dates as well. :)

Mark, you’ll love those spacers. That’ll get your car looking just about spot on. Well, all bar the stripe.
