Re: This will be the most expensive car I've ever purchased...

We have a V6S AWD convertible. Did a two week trip to Spain and Portugal earlier this year with no space problems (we like to hike up mountains so also had to carry boots etc..). Have also done many similar trips in our S2000, get soft bags to fit the boot space and pack clever. We get upset if we g...

Re: F Type clear wind deflector

There's a company in US called euro motorspeed that do a plain one that fits into the mounts for the mesh one, but it's USD 150 all in which is quite a lot just to see if it makes a difference.

Re: F Type clear wind deflector

I have looked and only seem to be able to get them from the US (about $150 shipped to UK), which seems a lot for a bit of perspex. I am seeing a friend on Sunday who had a load made for the S2000 a while back and will discuss who, how easy, how much etc if any one else is interested

Re: Garage width

Slightly back on track, we were in the luxurious position in the south east (mortgage free 😁) of building a garage or toy cupboard as we call it. Knowing we wanted a F went for 2.5 metre doors and still feels squeaky 😮

Ceramic coat detail

We have gtechniq crystal serum black which is guaranteed for 7 years. It costs more and can only be applied by a certified technician. What ever you go for, the paintwork has to be pretty much perfect before application (three days detailing in our case) as you will be sealing in any imperfections a...

Cleaning the exhausts

Many car products are great around the house, glass cleaner and rainex for shower screens, autosol for sinks, wheel brush for tall vases etc... helps to justify the purchases

I did draw the line at using my DA for floor polishing, bought a cheap halfrauds one for that

Cleaning the exhausts

Autosol is also really good for cleaning stainless steel kitchen sinks
