Just got its first service, with the added comments.. This one goes very well, Sir!

Oh well, the enforced retirement might mean that I have to drive it less, I wonder how thick the paint is, will I work my way through if I polish it every week?

(Not such a silly question, I used to visit, regularly, a sheltered housing scheme in Norwich, where there was an almost immaculate Ford Sierra 4WD estate. It would have been concours, apart from the fact that the red paintwork had really been polished right through to the primer in places. I never realised how much of a gloss you could get on grey primer, with determined waxing!).
