@modernheroestv As it stands the list is: replace damaged wheels and 3 year old tyres, replace rusty window bolts, replace rusty front brake hubs, deliver clean with no damage on bodywork. Don’t think I’m asking for much, I just want a brand new car looking brand new

@modernheroestv @timoldland @eV_Newt Oh goody, always wanted spray painted wheels 😂 No belt squeal as yet, drives fine just looks like it’s 3 years old… oh wait, it is…

@Brian70362077 @timoldland The reality is everyone involved is trying to make as much money as possible so they’ll only do things if it’s more profitable one way or another

@Brian70362077 @timoldland Europe and China closing 1/47th of their garages isn’t an issue yet, relax

@hjwakerley Drove one in America end of last year and genuinely impressed. Felt like a cut price Audi R8 RWD but the money was clearly saved on fit and finish 😂

@richardaucock @retro_motor I’ve got the mini 30, just need to find the 10k now for the kit!

@timoldland @Chris_Pickering Had nearly £6000 (rental fee and deposit) taken once when needing a BMW M5 for a shoot last minute. Claimed all back via AMEX but they’ll pretend to refund etc until it all goes quiet. Complete sham @ClassicParadeUK

@sammooresphoto Ferrari F12 for me. V12, luggage space, fast as you’ll ever need and timeless design

[Patrick Whelan @BecomingPatrick]

@chrisratcliff @harrismonkey Unlikely cars at that value have GFV as that’s reversed for PCP and those are normally under 100k (exceptions allowed). Instead you’ll have balloon (assumed value) which means they just think it’s worth that much, no garauntee and you take loss

@plusnethelp I need to speak to someone to change direct debit details for a new account but phone lines down and no online help! Won’t let us change in web portal, don’t want no internet in a time like this!
