no such thing as jet washes or even a car wash or anything like that over here.
only available washes are indians on the street who wash the cars for you

and no chance of using a pressure washer from 3rd story apartment where windows are nowhere near the car

nightmare......

Refreshing to see a sports car where it's obviously being used. There's something inherently cool in that, rather than the overly shiny sports cars you see over here who's only purpose is to stay in the garage until taken out to show off

Thanks Nick
even without the rain the car gets covered in dry sand everyday too but most of that blows off when driving

as i mentioned in another thread, i have used my rear tyres in 5500 miles
oops


only about 1mm left which explains the twitchy rear end aquaplaning in the wet last week

I'd have done exactly the same with that kind of power Stevie. Listening to that engine roar and nailing it down the road... yes please! I bet your absolutely loving driving it. How does it cope with the extreme heat?

I've only had it since December Scotty annd it's only been maximum 30 degrees since then so I wouldn't know yet

I remember you saying the Aircon is an upgraded version? Are the rads\cooling any different?

I don't know. I've been told all cars that come to the middle east have better airco systems.
I don't know details

Either way... What a cool car to be driving around in. I need a V8 in my life. Especially listening to all the F-Type's that drive by the office.

sooo.....two rear tyres are costing me £1300

Ouch.

The joys of having what, 20's on the rear....??

yes they are 20s, but its not just that... 305 wide too and run flat
Its the joys of living in the middle east.
Plus a tyre that is so rare, because basically only two cars use them, the ZL1 and the Shelby GT500

The tyres are $300 each in the US, but I'm paying the equivalent of $900 a piece here due to import etc...

Anyway they are on and i'm enjoying having grip again.
I'll post up pictures of the old tyres later...
they were a mess

She's sorted ready for 2 bloody big 11's up the road

thats the kind of driving I have to stop doing if I want my tyres to last longer this time...
