Lol that's vinyl flooring cut into squares so the paint doesn't get pulled up from the garage floor with hot tyres - one day I'll get round to fitting a proper floor rather than concrete painted.

LOL, I had an early 80s Liverpool football kit with those tight nylon shorts!! Luckily I have no photos of me in them! Think it was from the Crown Paint days.

So... I've been back for a few days.

There's a DRC-esque knocking noise on first drive of the day (doesn't seem to happen when car is warm). Car has <200 miles on it so I'm not exactly over the moon but trying not to let it take the shine off the massive / expensive / luxury purchase...

Now will be the real test of customer care... Will be booked in shortly for investigation. Frustrating but one of lifes challenges :)

Sort of have this as well but only randomly!
more a hollow knock over a bump but doesn't sound like the DRC knock i had in the B7.

Expect the characteristic of the car answer :D
