cheers dude.

quick update while i'm here. various pics from the last few months, nothing new. golf course car park, silly test with a smoke pellet, a shell station, autumn in epping forest and using the drone's landing light as a hover spot. 's all fun 'n' games, init?

Very beautiful car and shoots! What type of camera did you use?

thanks! i use a Nikon D800, mostly with a 24-70 f2.8 lens.

summer 2019 general maintenance update.

two fixes to the car. he's pushing on in age now so it's to be expected i guess, and my motto is if you can't afford it you shouldn't be driving it so bang goes a lump of cash.

pano roof got stuck open - on a rainy day, too. not good. vw were quoting £1,600+ for fixing if it was jammed on the runners, meaning front window out and all of that. luckily it was jut the motor which they could access by pulling the roof liner back a bit.

two weeks later the abs module failed, with a scary warning popping up on the dashboard whilst on the motorway. not a cheap part and i don't mess with brakes so back to vw and another spend. returned within 3 days, though.

the wheels were looking less than perfect at the end of summer after being too lazy to put the tallys on. ran them all through winter and spring, so he looked a bit sorry for himself for a while. but i did get the drone out for some practise.

early summer arrived so obviously i shot in black and white... er...

finally found a free saturday. gave him a wash and cleaned the exhausts then got the savs in the boot. took them to be refurbed in hampstead, just to be reminded of how much i hate driving him in london.

and finally back to normal. happy days.

Wow, a lot of problems, when the abs module failed, the brakes pedal is working or not? Can you stop the car?

Always better the Savannah wheels! Love them!

I have the same problem and the answer is no.. brakes work fine its just in case of an emergency brake the abs wont work and probably the car will slide. A very expensive fix if you are not in the recall list. Im not in the list and im looking for a used one...

where do you park a black car when it's hot as hell with no shade?
