Hello, one and all.
My name is Alan, and I'm know as BigAl. (Don't ask..... and NO, it's not what your thinking!)
I live near Cambridge, Cambs. and am fast approaching 74 years old (too fast.....)
I have a Gen 3.5 (2005) in Ocean Blue - model 2.0 SE - bog standard - which I am happy to say has never had a spanner on it, except for servicing and a timing belt change.
I've owned it since 2005 and still have the original tyres on it, which gives you some idea how many miles I do each year!
I am best described as an 'enthusiastic' driver who can still, occassionally, get it a bit sideways.
I have always owned a coupe/sportscar of some sort ( I own a Triumph GT6 for dry, summer use, at the moment) and if I can help anybody with repairs/painting, etc., I will happily give advice if I feel it may be helpful.

Best wishes, BigAl

Hi Al welcome over. Sideways eh I get scared of smacking my car . Now if I had a place to do it that would be different.

Thank you all for your warm welcomes. I appreciate that.

Mr Tuscan
The spot I usually manage a bit of sideways action is on Iron Down Hill on B3041 on the way to Chipping Norton. Usually quite accidentally!
Best wishes,
BigAl

I am not entirely surprised with 7 year old tyres on the car, might be a sign they are ready for the knackers yard despite there being plenty of tread left on them as they can degrade over time
