Funny to think that I saw that M when Woots had it, the black one I saw with you in it, the 3.0 si with Paul in it and the Red M with Jules in it in 2006

The Red M on CSL - that sure is the nicest looking of the lot. Can't understand that Lynchy has not done that ...

I'm working on it, can't seem to find any for sale

We've joined you on all the northwest meets this year and each time we've followed you've been in a different Zed

- looking forward to next year and two red roadsters leading the way

Lovely car Andy - congratulations

I'm almost the only person I know without an imola M... and that was the colour I originally wanted !

Great write up Andy and that's one hell of a collection in 12 months

The new MR looks lovely. Not sure I could resist the temptation to take it off sorn if it was parked in my garage.

Just seen this and enjoyed the write up Andy. Love your enthusiasm for the Zed

Also enjoyed being part of the year for you - pleasure doing business and meeting you (again).

There's a few of us with Imola Ms now - we'll have to have a meet for a photo op

Well as it has Supersprints im not sure i would get much audible pleasure from a high end induction kit & power gains for the £500+ spend are dubious to say the least

It came with RPI scoop but as ive not driven it yet can;t really comment on throttle pick up
Now i know "srhutch" has recently upsized to a larger property so if he were to feel the squeeze & needed rid of his Gruppe then i may step forward with my hand up

Your cars look to have really shiny paint Mr Wilks, do you use a machine polisher? They look great

Rob

After much trialing though luckliy no erroring

ive now got a 4 stage process that i stick with

1) DA soft pad ( unless heavy swirls or chips ) Meglars Ultimate compound
2) DA soft pad 50Cal Glaze to add shine & mask any minor imperfections ( a Z4M-2006 tip)
3) DA soft pad Fusso Soft 99 , i have tried 50Cal Pentawax but its just not as good to use or in finish & is much more expensive

4) DA soft pad Collinite 845 Insulator to seal
remove all above by hand

Repeat 2,3,4 as & when as it can be layered which over time does build a very deep lustre

However Rob with your white car if its already in good order you could save a few £ & a load of time / effort
Just use Autosmart Topaz & achieve virtually the same finish with one product it lasts for ages
