Re: Removing Number Plate Tape

I got talking to a couple of ladies in a hotel bar in Germany and they worked for WD40. They told me the name comes from Water Dispersal (WD) and it was sample number 40 that was the most effective, hence WD40.
Always used it and never questioned the name until that night.

Re: Perfection

I must agree, that's some great looking F Type you have there.

Must have been freshly detailed to have that level of shine.

Roll on summer.

Re: Independent Jag Specialist

I was charged £65 labour and 56.94 for 2 x C2D3650 oil as it uses over 1 bottle so they use the excess to flush the housing.
Looks a good price, mine maybe more as it's a V8, more oil?

Re: Step 3, Saturday 1st Of May

I wonder if everyone will be walking round punching each others left arm like BCG day at school.

If you're old enough to drive you should remember the BCG, stopped in 2005 apparently.

Re: I've paid a deposit.

Hi Quiet Man,
Looks great and the perfect colour.
You may have to change your nickname once you decide dynamic mode is the only way to drive an F.
Great timing by the way, snow and ice has gone, rains washed all the salt off the roads, spring is arriving....enjoy.
