 Can't believe that's nearly a year since picking up the isf. Unfortunately it means service,  mot, tax and insurance are all due the same month lol.  

Main thing is that I still can't think of another car I'd rather have at the moment. Every drive still feels like a big event and I love the fact nobody seems to know what it is as a newish Audi S4 found out the hard way the other week :-)

So I was inspired by the detailing thread to spend some time with the Claybar, Autglym super resin polish and a coat of R222 wax to get her ready for the decent weather. Takes ages but satisfying all the same. The amount of crap the clay bar finds always amazes me.

Had you thought of paying for your insurance on  a monthly basis. It always seem less painless to me.

I REALLY like the colour and it makes a pleasant change amongst all the common Silver IS-F's :whistling:

That's an amazing job Mike. I'd be kidding myself if I say that I'll have a go at doing something similar within the next couple months...I'd just either get bored, do a bad job, go to the pub instead or be asked to change nappies...lol!
