    Do revs increase or just hold? Could be a sticky throttle body.

    Not using your car because it's too nice

    Semi-tactical with mine (VXR8). Tend not to use it when the following apply: - Salty roads - End destination (car park) is tight or spaces aren't particularly generous - it's a big car at 4.9m long x 2.9m wide but I'm precious whether it's my car or my daughter's Fiat Punto! - Journeys when...

    My 2009 VXR8. I'm usually a silver wheels man, I bought this with them already black. Not convinced silver suits this though, perhaps an anthracite of some kind.

    Alloy wheel repairs

    I'm biased towards Powdercoating Shropshire (he's my old man) however @Gibbo can vouch for them too. Lots of pot hole repairs now over the next few months, also can weld repair cracks too.
