    My deep black 197.. and a little product plug!

    Little update on the DB Baguette, starting to feel like I’m getting to the end of my build now, with just a few little bits to sort/add and I can hopefully just about call it done - if that’s even a thing..

    A question for those that have Meg'ed their car.

    The only thing that’s lost is the feeling of dissatisfaction when you put your foot down :wink: Honestly the best thing I’ve done to it, truly transforms the car and for the better in my opinion. I loved it when it was n/a but I certainly wouldn’t go back.

    My deep black 197.. and a little product plug!

    Progress update: So I took her on track for the first time, really enjoyed it and spent some time just getting used to track driving - had some tuition, and was probably a bit more cautious than needed due to first time out and wet conditions, however it increased my love and enjoyment for this...
