I must say that you have a point, Myer - especially when my precious F Type will only be dry-run !

Drips

Hi all Had the R Coupé (new - what a lovely car) since last Saturday, and where she's parked in the garage there are 5 distinct areas where fluids (mostly water based I THINK, although one looks like thin oil) have dripped on the floor.
