What is £4416 for a car wash and polish? I’ve been asking for quotes for a track ppf and all over gtechniq coating for the F430, plus hydrophobic coatings for roof and interior and engine bay/wheel arch degrease/clean etc. Apparently, there’s a 22 stage decontamination process plus a 3 stage paint ...

The one engine BMW is probably most well known for

That Chiron looks awful - like a Transformer that got stuck half way.

Wheels/arches look all wrong.

Piggy-snout nose too.

My nephew won't be happy, I think he was looking forward to this

I was looking at gap between the tyre and arch

The rears are nicely tucked up in the arches...

Saw a blue 720S yesterday (Y28 MCL I think)

An unusual blue colour, and the first I've seen on the road.

Didn't sound very nice though...

That gap though...

Baby Jesus wept

I know, it's tragic, right?

Even my Dad can best that (straight 6 Austin Princess)

Technically I've done that on 4-5 occasions (well, had my heart stopped - the last time, they stopped my heart 3x during the one procedure)

I know someone else mentioned "pasanda" before this post, but for me, this is the winner

What were the skies like when you were young?
They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona

It's a 13 year old car, for under a grand.

What do they want?!

Silverstone on Sunday to watch the GT racing. Monkey said i should, and I trust him Took my nephew to see them at Brands last weekend (that was the Blancpain series, not sure if Silverstone is the same/British GTs?). It was his first trip to see some racing - he loved it. Especially the bit when on...

Quite a busy one this weekend: Going to visit Bletchley Park tomorrow Then on to Milton Keynes to have a go at indoor skydiving Staying over at a nice little B&B Lunch at some friends near Oxford on Sunday before heading home for a little lie-down* * I'm not a fan of busy weekends - I need my do...

I'm liking the latest album from Fluxion ("Ripple Effect") - nice, dubby techno.

So many 'artists' seem unable to produce their own stuff these days. On the radio its always someone featuring someone else with the other person. I know what you mean. It was practically unheard of for bands to collaborate with other artists and producers in the good old days. That's because they ...

BTW, I'm still recording Essential Mixes, I'm up to 660 of them now

Think it was caused by him running over the curbs?

I've not been privy to anything truly special, but some memorable cars include: Fiat Cinq Sporting: that was hilarious - just made me laugh out loud. One of the most fun cars I've driven. Arial Atom: that was amazing - I could imagine that always having an appeal if you owned one (much like say a Ca...
