Nice- were these a special edition?
Also, does that green container have your new cars ready for next week?

Hi Nick
Yes F1 Team edition 149 made for UK.
Don’t get me started on my neighbours container.
Ah nice- that’s a very small production run. Looks like it’s all in the original livery too.
Have you been using your DB9 much? My Vantage has been quite neglected recently (and turns out even my new battery goes dead in 2 weeks too...).
Soldato
Nick I’ve not used it in around 5 weeks!
I normally rotate between the DB9 and one of the other cars throughout the week, however at work we are having a lot of building work done which means the back where I park is a building site so there’s no way I’m parking round there at the
moment.
So my use has gone down hugely
The battery on it must be good because it starts fine even when left in the garage. It does feel a bit wasteful though but it’s not like the cars are depreciating anytime soon.
Soldato
It’s completely standard and will be staying that way.
You’re lucky- I think mine has a tracker system which drains the battery very quickly. I need to find out if there is an easy way to deactivate it (although being a tracker, I suspect not!).
Soldato
I’ve read many reports from AM owners with trackers of that probably because most aren’t used regularly.
And got nicer seats than my R26 F1. Blue envy!
They must be fitting poor batteries.
Left my SVR for a couple of weeks when been on hols and it starts fine, also remember the battery in it is an LI so it has low AH rating as weighs only 4kg, but never had an issue and the SVR has a tracker enabled.
Heh... and come last@Shivy011 nice! You can attend the santa pod meets now
Heh... and come last
Nah it is OK, I shall bring the Clio, so your guaranteed to not be last.

Old school Motors poster returning 
. Got this TTRS Plus with an MTM tune about 3 weeks ago. Currently running 472bhp. Has MTM turbo, downpipe, remap, Milktek exhaust, 380mm 8pot brakes, 20" wheels to accommodate the larger brakes, uprated Alpine sound, uprated plugs.
To do definite:
- intercooler (should be 500bhp)
- intake (probably 034 ?)
- refurb all alloys
To do maybe:
- either carbon wrap spoiler (cheaper!) or get real carbon spoiler to match the carbon mirrors
- carbon or black wrap the roof
- have alloys done in black when refurbed
- viper stripes in black (too much? Maybe)
- actually hardwire the dashcam this time if I can find someone to do it (I didn't dare do it with the last one)
As you can see, I'd like a nice coordinated red and black theme. Current pictures:

Just a bit. Managed to get my last one which was a 410bhp manual to 60 in around about 3.7 seconds (though timing wasn't reliable). This one has the paddle gearbox - not timed it, but shouldn't be too much above 3 seconds, I wouldn't have thought? I guess it depends how aggressive you are (I haven't been yet).
