Where and when? KL isn't far for me and it'll give me an excuse to wash the car (still wouldn't expect to win anything though....).
Here you go.

Pre booked exhibitors on this one. I booked back in February number 007. If you decide to come give me a shout.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Much appreciated. I will be at the Kings Lynn Heritage day on Sunday week with the Range Rover. This is another favourite for us been going since it started.
Sure is. I was so chuffed with this. I beat a Bentley 2nd and a Porsche 3rd in the modern classics class. Over 700 cars on display with over 100 in the modern classic class.
I went to the classic and sports cars by the lake show yesterday near Bury St Edmunds and look what happened.
Looks very nice. Good colour match. I might have to do mine now 👍

How do you rate the poor boys. I was thinking of trying the black on mine .
Rob.It's Great stuff Rob, easy on easy off and lasts well too!!
Poorboys Blackhole would go well with your dark paint, it also has fillers in it that mask swirls and scratches not that yours has any..
The Wax in my case is Nattys Blue they also do white not really any difference apart from the smell, both smell edible..
Henry,..
My son said he has some Black Hole I can have so I will just have to get the Nattys Black wax. Looking forward to having a go with is lot. I don’t know if it will make much difference. I will post a picture when it’s done.

Well done that’s looking very nice. What wax etc did you use on your car.
Rob.
Welcome. Nice to see another late Vogue SE. Good luck with the car.

Being one of the 'lucky' over 50's owners, I was pleasantly surprised last year with a quote from the AA for a 6000 mile, zero no claims (second car) of £227.
This year they have jacked it up to £261 (now with 1 yr NCB). Just moved to Admiral for £182. At least the difference will pay for 3/4 of a tank of fuel (lol!)
On 'lower' value insurance premiums it is easy to ignore the £50 hike as not worth the hassle but when you hunt around, that £50 can become £80 and is suddenly more noticeable.
I will never understand how it is cheaper for companies to find new business than to keep existing clients????
Totally agree with this. Bloody thieves if you ask me. I always shop around or challenge the renewal quote. My Lancaster renewal quote this year for the P38 was £270 ish I got it down to under £200 by challenging the quote with Lancaster. I can’t understand why they think they can rob existing policy holders.

I used to go nuts cleaning my cars. Clay bars, multiple buckets, wash mitts, fancy polish, sealants, all sort of things for the interior.
I bought a dual action polisher and got the paint on my ST170 looking like a mirror. I'd take the seats out to clean under them, wheels off to clean the backs etc.
Then I found I didn't have the time to do it anymore. Found a girlfriend, then a kid came along etc. I really want to get back to doing things like that - I don't like looking at or sitting in a grubby car :(
I have more time as I’m an old bugger. Well we do see the kids and grand children a lot and I do work with my son. But I have the the weekends off so I have a bit of time. I do like to keep the car clean and also trying different waxes detailing sprays etc,

lol - yeh Robbo you must have spent a long time on that
Yes a fair amount of time but I do enjoy detailing the car. Got to have it looking nice for the car shows we do with our local car club.

My god that looks nice Robbo1. Is that taken when it was new? Can't believe that is a 17 year old car.
Ha ha. Pictures taken last week for the agreed value insurance. Glad you like it.
My 2002 Vogue SE.
Hi all.
As the Boge shock absorbers are now unavailable has anyone fitted the Armstrong ones and if so are they any good. I really want something similar to the original.
Rob.
The Range Rover P38. A definite future classic. Good ones in my opinion will only increase in value and desirability.
Rob.
I was going to do mine but in the end I had a couple from the face book group come and sort mine out. They done a brilliant job and it was money well spent.
Just managed to buy one on eBay for £60 with code in excellent condition. Will see what happens when I put it in.
I have been sorting my speakers as well. They all work but the bass speakers in the rear doors the foam surrounds had rotted away. I have replaced these. Passenger side front is rattling as well so that needs doing. Drivers side sounds good but will probably need doing. I have also just reformed the subwoofer cones. Just need to sort this head unit problem out.
