Surely it is - even my mates Astra has that! He just walks up to it and it unlocks. Not keyless start though

Nice one Rich, glad its sorted. Just the clutch to go now then?

Come along. Mine hasnt been washed in 2 weeks and its not likely to get a wash tonight. Its more a social thing than a car show

I think it would last closer to 18 months if done right I've had a tub of Dodo SN2 for well over 6 months now and I've used less than a quarter of it. I find an applicator and warming up the wax is the best way to get nice thin layers that minimises wastage

Yes. First time around, wash, clay, polish and then wax. From then on, just wax after a wash. Every six months, take it right back to the paint and start again, wash, clay, polish, wax

Firstly, you dont need to polish every other weekend! Twice a year should be more than enough. When you polish, you are taking of a very fine later of the clear coat, so you dont want to be doing it too regularly otherwise you will eventually wear through it Wax wise, once a month should be fine once you have a good base. As a good base, do about 4 coats, but leave 24hrs between them for the wax to fully cure

Theres a Reading meet tonight for those about. Check it out in the meets section. 7.30pm@Comet car park by the footie stadium

what on earth is an emotional control unit???? sounds like a name I should give my missus As you dont know what the ECU is, I demand you surrender it to me immediately!

Jay what have we told you, dont do self portraits as your avatar, people will think you bat for the other side like Louis

I thought about pointing that out but didnt want to confuse him calling it an ECU Found a Bentley key case - http://www.uk.forzieri.com/usa/product_ ... ource=AWin

Surely you dont want it on a keyring as the keys will bash about the dash when you start it and drive? Or do you mean have some kind of quick release so you can remove it to insert it into the hole? Sorry bud, never had that problem with mine Maybe Aston can sell you a case?

Look forward to seeing it all finished

Nice one bud. As Rich says, give it a few hundred miles to scrub the tyres in before starting to push it. Rears can be done by turning off TCS and going for a drift

I've seen boxes before that slide into the stock space. That would in effect give you a sealed space, but also slides out should you need to access the fuel pump. Shouldnt be hard for a proper installer to make a box like that

And Tesco clubcard points come in handy for paying for Wales Run hotels

Looks very nice Dan Any plans for the front end? New bumper or lip perhaps?

See thats what Amandas car goes in the garage and my car stays on the drive

Welcome to the real K1

Yup, Rob uses them for his servicing I think and rates them highly

For track I can see it would be worth it, but on the road? And how do they reckon it gives better handling (on road, not track) and longer tyre life?

Looks like it should be nice weather (famous last words!)

You haven't been over for a while Mark...............can't you trust yourself Do you have anything carbon he doesnt already have? Try posting a pic of it if you do

Mine isnt screwed to the duct and its been fine for a 1.5yrs

Go test drive one and that will make your mind up Nuff said
