Garage dogs are the best.

So a few trips recently have had me freezing to death in garages but I love it, I can't lie, there is something about being in an environment with like minded people who build cool cars.
But this stop at Carnaby Motors (one of my favourite local specialists) was a normal job on the X5, a full service on my ol' workhorse. Ive done over 50,000 miles in this since buying it now! where does time go.

Thankfully this is a simple job for the boys down here. Tom is an ex dealer specialist so he knows exactly how to work on these big old boring barges, but they treat even the most normal car with the same love and respect as some of the other incredible things they get to work on down here. Thankfully the job was simple & done whilst we had a good old chat about cars.

Clio 182 in for some work, beautiful little thing !

Really quick

Just wanted to say a thank you if you've made the most of the deal on the gloves, I've not sold this many in one go in ages. I'll leave the discount on for little while too so if right now you can't grab some and you want them, you can in the future. I may even lower the prices of the t's too, I want to be able to buy in some new stuff but we need to keep overheads down currently! Plus I am thinking about new designs too, I want to carry on with the premium line shirts but ill be honest I have to pay full amount up front which I hate doing - I wish my supplier would accept card ! but will see what we can do as I love those a lot.

BACK TO CARNABY

and now meet Barnaby ! This is Tom's dog and he is absolutely my new mate. We got on great aha although I got him in trouble for playing fetch in the garage (Sorry buddy!)

These lads down here create and build some absolutely incredible cars & They mentioned drifting... so I may have been sending them some cars to look at buying so I can drag them out drifting with me soon!

New Fuel filter and Tom Finalising the service by checking some codes on the X5 for me, Its got an issue now with the adblue system but it's booked in at WMB to have that replaced. Cars eh, never ending issues.

Also had a look around this Range Rover they had in, the boys are big on these things, buying all types to restore and sell on. I love this shape, proper essex boys machine. Really cool to see one in such brilliant condition.

This Crazy old Mercedes project is one I am going to talk with Angus about soon on Camera, if he wants too obviously. I am trying to get these guys to do YouTube as the stuff they do is so incredible, and im sure you would enjoy watching it happen, oh yeah that's an LS in there. Forgot to say...

Every time I visit here they have an amazing old car lurking and this Porsche just captured my heart, I'd love to think when my brain settles down & I'm not trying to buy every single car in the world to send sideways, a project like this will be in the garage. I just feel like I need the garage set up first to store something like this lovingly. So not yet. But one day.

But anyway, I've got so much work to do now. Thank you all for your support!
