DanChantler 65 Report post Posted November 16, 2016 Treated the 400 to a very professional and impressive valet at the weekend. I don't usually let anyone but me clean my toy but after seeing his work on the family cayenne he got the green light as I just didn't have time to do a proper job. Very happy with the clean. He treated as his own and said loved to clean it. Even added it to his portfolio shots to use on his website etc. Then I further treated the 400 to its new cosy indoor cover courtesy of TLF. Very impressed with the quality and fit. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dear Santa... I've been quite a good boy this year, I've been very very good...I think. So that wing, the Evora Sport 410 body and interior, the 3-Eleven Race powertrain...That's it. It's not that much you can find it all at the toy store in East Anglia : Hethel, Norfolk, UK . They have a big straight line - a former runway - so you'll have no problem landing the sled and the car is light very very very light. And the elves working inside that top store are very friendly.

JAWS 357 Report post Posted November 22, 2016 That's because he's Essex innit, and he's very old (in a couple of days!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanChantler 65 Report post Posted November 22, 2016 Haha. Older and wiser and even more convinced the black alloys were the perfect finishing touch! I did love the detail of the silver alloys but for me it made the 400 look too soft. The black really makes it look more aggressive and fitting (in my eyes) of what the 400 is. Plus being from Essex, as @JAWS pointed out, I had to make sure I fitted in with the locals..... Oh reason for the poorly blurred reg in the first pic was due to the valet company using it for their website Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pickle 193 Report post Posted November 26, 2016 The photos really don't do the car or the weather justice, but it's an absolutely beautiful day in the peaks today.
