It's really good to have a garage who knows our cars. The 7V8's brake switch decided to throw a wobbly on the test even though it was fine this morning[}:)] However it was made good to pass the test and I've now got a new switch to fit today.
In the bodyshop this lightweight Aluminium bodied Aston Martin was hiding in the wings waiting to be prepped for a cellulose respray. The owner who's had it since it was 3 years old, has already spent the equivalent of 4 mint UK original TR8's just to get it this far. He's worried that the final market value might make it too expensive too insure. I don't think we'll be having his problems.
Behind that was a BMW 840Ci in for some paintwork. All this in a small country garage. Ok, it's only 40 miles from the big smoke but you get the idea.
