    Finally collected yesterday.

    Car had been stuck at dagenham for 3 weeks.

    As I asked dealer Not to clean car as I was taking straight to detailer via a detour to Chris at veil tuning to get fitted ghost tracker and dashcams

    Car was mingingly dirty but detailer very happy that he had vigin paint work to work with.

    Won’t have my car till next weekend maybe Friday.

    Will only do pictures when they are good ones.

    So did 45 miles to Northampton 2 to 3 k revs std mode, car much better than test drive as I remember it.

    After ghost fit 35 miles back to bicester to detailer again 2k with up an down box occasionally touched 4 k twice, briefly which was 100 mph plus for some overtakes. Had massive grins even in a dirty car .

    Did not notice veering steering, but was progressive for the two times over 80.

    Car said I got 29mph over the 75 mile combined journey, with average speed at 70 as mostly duel carriage ways maybe 10 miles at 30.

    Will update next week.

    Hi man.

    As car taken straight to detailer after Chris fitted ghost and tracker I have not been able to try out the dash cams.

    Detailer will fit the shark fin areial,washerjets and gel inlays for rear wing.

    I did log on to tracker and the map position was spot on to where I left it on sat afternoon .

    Hope to get car back Friday or Saturday.

    My biggest problem is remembering how to go in and out of valet mode.

    Because I was handing over to detailer I had to ring Chris 2 hours after he showed me how to do it.

    I shall probably need to do same when I collect again on Friday sat.

    But this time I am going to write down (and keep safe) a note of how to do it.

    The wife has shown no interest in the car as she sees it as a waste of money. She would definitely not get on with the process.

    I am sure after practice it will become second nature.

    I am really keen to use the dash cams to see what can be done with them.
