Came on to quickly blog on the last few days but they have been so busy I have almost forgotten exactly what I've been doing - a very foggy and tired mind. The winter weather makes hard work of preparing cars to a high standard and when they need servicing, MOT, bodywork or tyres - or all of the above, there's a lot of running around to fit in. The rain and dirty roads makes valeting very awkward too. However, all things taken into account, all three cars handed over today looked superb. Particularly the blue metallic RS Megane 225 and bright red RS Clio Trophy which both having had new tyres looked just like new but with a better coat of polish!
My Integra is in truly special condition, it will photograph so well. Under the bonnet is also absolutely immaculate. That car gives the impression of having spent a lifetime being valeted every week. I am tempted to leave the three tiny stone chips to the front spoiler and tiny mark on the Recaro backrest just to add some used car provenance.
Run into some very rewarding comments from customers and supporters of my business amongst the Internet car forums. There are some real idiotic comments that I'm just too diplomatic to comment on myself, although they really get my back up sometimes - especiallsy from so-called Renault dealers who may sell renaults but are most definitely not dealers! You know where I am coming from :) & I admit to a pathological dislike to lazy trading. It's no wonder the car dealer industry is in such bad shape.
Otherwise some really excellent music on television the last couple of days. The whole California folk rock retrospective (BBC4 if you want to watch online) and tonight's Royal Albery Hall recording of the George Harrison Tribute (Artsworld Channel) were both superb and put into perspective the talent that eminated from the Sixties and Seventies. Bands may have been manufactured, but the term had a slightly different meaning then! To be in a manufactured band you had to be a proven virtuoso - show me someone in a current manufactured band as talented as Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Stephen Stills or even Eric Clapton from another genre.
Catching up on All Things Must Pass by George Harrison on iTunes. Buy it on my recommendation ;)
