Finally got round to putting my FF.com sticker on now my windows have been privatised. Then got carried away and took front grill off, rubbed it down and primed it in anticipation of applying some Santorini black paint to it tomorrow. Looked at silver, shiney and mesh grills and decided black. Hope I'm right
Does this mean I'm now a proper member?

Had to drive to Epping to catch a train to good old London town, then on the way home stopped for a pint in Epping green, and sat in the pub, looking out the window at the car. 2004 vogue

Do the steps come into play as you open the doors and is ther a manual overide.

Not quite today, but took the FF to Le Mans 24 hr last week, 775 miles round trip and effortless. 2006 Supercharged

Humm, I think stan spotted you at Le Mans - http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic19238.html  2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

Dropped my FF at a leather restorers for some remedial work, more a cosmetic issue than significant wear. I think it should be viewed as a necessary cost for the privilege of having such a soft tactile feel and ivory leather.
He's doing door handles, seat bolsters, a few scuffs on the cubby box lid, armrests and a scuff on the rear seat. Then a full clean and conditioning of everywhere else.
Don't know anything about the guy but he was incredibly busy and I had to wait a while for him to even come and give me an estimate. He does work for all the local furniture shops including the big names. I left it with confidence, he said he expected me to be very pleased when I see the results.  
Had it, loved it!

Decided to paint my new tow bar with black Hammerite today before the weather has a chance to start dissolving it back to its constituent parts. Job going well, I slide further under the car on my back to get to that hard to reach bit. Neck beginning to ache a bit so put my head back to rest it for a minute. Feel something on the back of my head, think nothing of it so carry on painting. Decide to move and find something attached to the back of my head, reaching round.....I've only got the paint tin lid stuck to my head haven't I Fair hair, black hammerite....a DOH! moment if ever there was one.

The tow bar looks good though.  4.4 TDV8 Vogue Baltic Blue MY11

I rebuilt the suspension compressor with the rebuild kit from meerbusch great service from him and an easy job to rebuild. Now I just have to get the codes reset.

Oil Service day today, well overdue meant to service with 6000 miles to go on countdown, but ended up at 4275. (last service was 24/8/13 at 129619 miles)

Reset (using wiki instructions for 02-05) to 13675 so target for next service (oil and filter only) @ 8000

New oil filter and O ring, air filter, fuel filter, sump plug washer (came with filter) and Mobil 3000 5w-40

139390 miles on the clock

Only two incidents this service:

1. Lost one fuel filter jubilee clip into the engine bay (advise remove these until ready to refit)
2. Dropped crosshead screwdriver into viscous fan shroud. Able to retrieve by release bottom of shroud and prising open

No problems refitting engine covers this time, and the warm weather (30 degrees +) made pouring the oil a lot easier

Now to prepare for rear subframe bushes, brake pipes and radiator, and tidy up front subframe in the autumn  .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
