Wow, why did you pick up the car at 1 am?

She looks like a completely different beast!

Congrats Phil, she's a beauty. Enjoy!
It,s nice to have a mechanic who works into the morning wee hours and also does everything from mechanical work to body work to painting. Do you by any chance have Ed China from wheeler dealers working for you.

Phil,

It's approaching lunch time here so it must have been daylight in NC for at least an hour. Where's the full set of photos?

Phil, what's the hold up? I know it's 20 min to 10 am right now where you are. Oh I know, he's either dead asleep because he spent the night driving the car or...

Oh no

I am guessing he is waiting for the sun to be in the right azimuth so as to reflect the best color of the paint.

Or maybe he's taken it back to have the color changed. Remember who we're talking about here.

Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, Phil has been kidnapped and is forced to respray an aging fleet of space craft or else his beloved Jag is vaporized.

He was probably up all night staring and running his fingers over every square inch of his new paint and contemplating on whether to leaper or not leaper.

He is probably checking the weather to have his professional photographer fly in for professional photo shoot.

Something is not right that we are begging Phil of all people for pictures. Normally by now they would be in at least three different threads.

OK Phil, time to give it up. This is just mean.

I have it on very good authority that we won't see any pictures until Pirelli have delivered four new black walnut metallic tyres.
