Chesterfield

Even if it fits like a glove there is still the possibility of wind buffeting the fabric around slightly and rubbing the car. If there is any grit on the car when you cover it, all it will take is a bit of buffeting overnight and that bit of grit gets rubbed around even if the fabric itself is nice and soft. Maybe its me being over cautious but a car cover with the vehicle outside just doesnt appeal to me at all.

Another -1 on the car cover. Ive seen eaxmples of when car covers have been blown around rubbing on the bodywork and its scuffed the paint something awful. Not being able to fit the car in is a pain, I know I measured the width of the garage before buying the Z, it fits in with the mirrors opened, with only 10/15mm each side of the mirrors - once inside you can open the doors of both cars towards each other and they wont touch! but the doors are tight. The width of your garage opening must be ridiculously small if it wont fit with the mirrors folded in. New builds are a joke for garage space though, no doubt down to some pathetic regulation that has been introduced I guess. The missus has now been looking on house sites for another one to move to, and measuring the garage doors is on the list of any that we look at.

They were a £1k option.

Maybe £900 now. I paid that for a set with only 1K miles usage when they were still an option rather than standard fit.

I reckon your mate just has the punctuation in the wrong place.

The Z was Mrs Chesterfields daily drive for 2 years.

I cant think of a better way for a "newbie" to join in the fun with the club than to come along to a meet, and what a meet the Wales drives are.

Having seen Criags work at a photoshoot, I'll second the above. Very reasonable prices for a full detail and he certainly makes a thorough job from what Ive seen. Im hoping to find a location and get him booked myself prior to show season. You can find shots of Craigs work along with others on the detailing world website

Can we start to contribute to a list, it will help us keep John updated on numbers etc. No.....Name......................Dates 1.....StephenG...................30/31 2.....AndyC........................30/31

Worth it though.

In my last job, I covered "The North" and that included Birmingham. On that basis, Oxford is very much the midlands! I wouldn;t ordinarily class it as the midlands but its about as close as I could get when I was looking how they had spread them out. Aye, but Ill bet that the company was possibly run by the likes of folk that get a nosebleed if they drive further north than Watford Gap. I still think Id take the GTR to a specialist. Probably Nobles here in Chesterfield if I get one.

Bah - get your name down on a GTR, no problem then.

How can Oxford be classed as the Midlands? Do you have to take your car to one of these garages for it to be serviced?

Hi and welcome! I know your pain with the private plate and trading in. I had to make 2 x 500mile round trips for the very same reason In future the plate will be on retention well before trading in.

Porsche have had a stake in VW for years, and been growing their stake in VW for years, so its not that bigger jump to find the last bit of cash (although its still fairly large compared to their annual turnover).

:lol: hello stranger! What a silly boy. Did you not read the small print? School runs and motorways only you know!

Porsche set to buy/control VW (and all its subsiduaries).......... again... http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/b ... 479366.ece

Its also about the time they do the out of hours work (server hosted East Coast of US).

Ahh - handy to know that Chris. Would you like a bit of a busmans holiday offering advice *cough* doing *cough* some scripting for this site?

knowing how much scripting work has gone into this site, and the inevitable little problems that get thrown up, I can understand how easy it is to end up with errors in php. The standard software out there, whatever version never has all the features an individual site would like, just the basic one fits all solution, and a certain level of modification will be needed. The modifications are rarely all written by one company/person, so never seem to quite get along with one another so you have to modify the modifications. Then when you install another modification, you have to revisit your original modifocation and modify it again... When you get to a dozen or so modifications, it can become quite a headache beleive me. Feel sorry for the chap doing the coding, as its probably been a bit of a ball ache to fix.

Tidied flirts sale post a bit..
