Hi all,
I'm glad to be back after a last couple of months of a dose of Pleurisy. Not nice, and I do not want it again, thank you!
Also, I had a problem with 'Zheenar', the yelow engine icon came up on the dash and she started missfiring. A quick call to Rybrook at Shrewsbury and a very helpful John Owen sugested that, rather than go all the way up to Shrewsbury, that I contact Cotswold in Hereford, about an hours less drive.
Contact made, and again very helpful folk, told me to bring it in last Monday. A few hours after arriving and all was sorted. The coil and plug on No.4 cylinder was braking down. Car washed and valeted, tyres and brakes checked as a matter of course, and we were away. All under warranty. I must admit I did floor it a bit on the way back and, for the first time tried the second 'sports mode'. Boy, am I glad I took spare underpants with me!! Can't wait to give it a go again
.
I was not a fan of the new i8, but after seeing one in the 'flesh' (should that be 'metal'!) at Cotswold, I think I am in love! Sitting there in the showroom in all its glory was a metallic grey i8. Yes, I'm certainly not keen on the 'orange' colour shown in the mags, but this was stunning! I want one! in fact I want two, one for the weekend. But at over £120k I don't think that I will be getting one soon!!
All the best guys and girls.
Colin.

. I have to admit though, even though it was hard work,the benifits of a polish and wax makes a difference when it does get dirty. A quick spray with the hose and a wipe down and she's looking great again.
