Looking good.

 

But you definitely need to get some more track days booked - I did more than your total mileage in my first two years of ownership  :P

This last year has been a difficult one in the 'Pops household, with my wife's brain tumour it has kinda turned things upside down a little. Hoping 2015 is a better year, that's for sure. Does put things into perspective though!

Who did you use Lee? Bit of a bummer getting it gleaming to then drive it through the snow and salt!

It does indeed look good.

 

Is it the full G-techniq treatment Lee, or just some products. The full thing is amazing - I did a feature on it years ago and had my Saab done. Took two days but I never had to wax or polish it for over 12 months (just simple maintenance washing) and it looked like it had just come out of the showroom.

It was a full cut back, polish and treatment with gtechniq products. G1 for glass, C5 for wheels, C1 for paintwork etc. I had the Q3 done in October as well. I had Paul from https://shineondetail.com/ do it. He's done JGs car in the past along with my MX-5 (before my current VX)

Yup when I had my old Saab done it was done for free. They told me hoe much it should have cost me though. Not cheap in anyway, but superb protection. Might have to see if I can blag it through a feature again or something.

B) looks cool

 

I never liked yellow, until I drove one. No idea why but seeing the two yellow humps in front of you is very addictive!
