I find cleaning the car quite theraputic - but don't think I would have the patience to spend that much time on it :?
I agree and its way cheaper than a psychiatrist - although i think the stigma is about the same!


thanks all for your comments. am off out to South Q for a drive in her tonight :)

A quick photograph of the paint correction needed on the 111R - just trying a few pad/compound combinations on the worst part of the car, at least it does look like an improvement will be made. full write-up to follow.

Great work.

Although I like to keep my cars clean, I could NEVER do what you do ...... Every time I take cars out for runs, they get messed up in no time....

Look forward to reading future parts!

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
