I've just had an amazing idea which im going to explore this week.....

I have a bunch of customers who own and run MOT centres.....im going to try to arrange a trade off for one of them to get the work done on the xm and MOT it for me and in return ill detail one or two of their cars for them :D I know ill find one of them who will be up for that ;)

The added bonus will be more exposure on the Pallas AR front for me :)

Right,that's the plan 8-)

Paul, it would be a pleasure...seriously. Once your ready let me know and we can do a trade off....I need a few little bits for the xm, you need some of my time....lets get it done, Im ready when you are....i just need somewhere dry to work in ;)

Your right Will, the guy i have in mind has a ferrari...that should do it....the only snag i didnt think about is transportation to and from Bolton where im working at the moment....the car still wont be taxed or insured :| ....recovery i reckon will be around £50 there and back i think... :|

Once I or WE all get confirmation of a CXM Rally in September then YES we will get this done!

As you know though, I do not have a garage or under cover. I DO have an XM Car cover though which can go on her once done!

Ive done all the holes IIRC on her now, its a case of fettle and finish.
