Chip Foose restoration of the E Type :o What a car https://youtu.be/qW6uF4Qotpg

Can't speak for the others, but I would not use the Hammerite smooth. I used the silver Hammerite smooth on the bells of the discs on my S63 Merc coupe. I used a good quality brush, but the paint goes on fairly thick (it says do not thin) & when it dried there were brush marks. Where I painted...

I think the silver looks really good & personally would keep it. I have the 20" cyclone wheels on mine in black but there again I have the full black pack :lol:

F type has been sold & waiting on its replacement being delivered at the beginning of August. Lovely car but never used. 819 miles in 3 years. :o Replacement is S63 AMG Mercedes Coupe. Have to confess that at heart I am a Mercedes man having had 2- CLS, 1-S class, 1-SL in the last 10 years. I...

Can anyone access the build sheet information. Thinking of selling my 2013 convertible & would like to see what it came with. Only done 819 miles in the last 3 years. Mileage now 8456.

Does anyone know where to access the drain tubes for the convertible roof. Just wanting to make sure they are clear. Noticed that after washing & putting away in the garage there was more water on the floor behind the drivers side rear wheel than passenger side. Assume this is the drain exit.

Just had my renewal in £379.80. :o Protected no claims. Wife & myself driving (both pretty old, hope she's not reading this) Voluntary excess £0, Compulsory excess £150. Car garaged. Don't think so :evil: Ran online quotes, AA £222.98 Like for like quote but their compulsory excess was £100...

1st June & its sunny, time to waken up. Dvla for tax, check. Disconnect Ctek which has been doing its thing since the end of October, check. Remove car cover, check. Lower tyre pressures from 46psi, check. Car was spotless when put away so nothing there, check. Full tank of fuel when put away...

Car has been in hibernation all winter with continuous intravenous courtesy of Ctek. I was going to tax it on 1st April, but as you cannot go anywhere & rightly so, looks like it will be postponed until ???????. Its possible that it will not even surpass last years under 200 miles :o. Just...

If you want a shock, put your car reg into We buy any car for a valuation. Keep the defibrillator handy. If this is what the dealers use to value your car, they will be closing in droves

Chris901202, The socket was in my car when I bought it but its such an easy install its worth doing. Far better than a bit of wire with ctek connector dangling in the boot. I was so impressed that I installed one to my Range Rover Sport. Bought the socket from Amazon for less than a pound, some...

Received a call yesterday, "This is Amazon Prime, your subscription is going up to £17.99 a month, if you wish to cancel press 1" As I had by chance been on the phone to Amazon about another matter that morning it took me by surprise & as I was already in a bad mood with my call to Amazon, so...

Chris901202, I have a fag lighter socket in the left hand side of the boot.(convertible) Really neat installation, no mucking about. Just plug Ctek into this, Car has been on Ctek for months, wont be used for another couple of months . Starts first time (well it did last year :lol: )

Get an indoor cover, makes a big difference, you also forget you have it :lol: I also put dehumidifier granules inside & add 10/15psi to the tyres, full tank of fuel & fuel stabilizer & spray the discs with Atom mac. Don't apply parking brake. Ctek as already mentioned & I never lock it either.
