Made the mistake of visiting Premier Coachworks as they were pulling my car apart - caught sight of it in the air, with no wheels, stripped of graphics and door handles and covered in dust and masking tape. Is it wrong to feel really sad to see it in this state?

That makes me feel a bit better, some people think it is abnormal and a little twisted to have a car as a child substitue so I'm glad it isn't. :clown:

Seriously, it'll be great when its back with paintwork done and refurbished alloys, but am just having Porsche withdrawal symptoms in the meantime...

Should be getting the wheels back tomorrow, so will be ready for the weekend. New exhaust is supposed to sound like a herd of elephants breaking wind in a tin shed. Looking forward to it...

Indeed it is - I thought that everyone was aware of The Loxodonta Africana Flatulence Sonas Scale? I thought that this was a standard way of measuring exhaust volume?

Get the beastie back tomorrow, most excited...
