spent this afternoon with the zymol and went over the car for the first time, I picked it up last weds and thought it best to give her a few layers of zymol concours wax on the paint aswell as the rest of the zymol products on the rest of the car.















still not got used to the lack of traction at the rear end though, if I dont post for a few days you'll know why

although it is great fun scaring people, will was V suprised following me on sunday in his gallardo thumbup

first classic car and loving everymin of it, although its a completly different beast to the non traction controlled 911 I had i dont think its far off it performance wise.

and the sounds cloud9

Looks fantastic. You can fit 225s on 8' rims on the back if you get the offset right - which will help a little with the traction issues.

actually, I really wish it was a big V8, you know, then I could look down on others and snigger from the sideline, people will think im mighty and I would earn instant cred.

I bet its great being you.

cheers mate, yeah an idiot could use the stuff and make a car look good, ohh actually theres the proof! I did that!

edited to add, I bought a kit though with everything in it inc the concours wax, and then I bought a few other bits like the seal stuff, lehm klay klay lub etc etc etc, spent about 500 quid on the stuff about a year ago and used it every 2 weeks on the porsche and the land rover, still got loads left though, well worth it!
