Did nothing in it all week, by choice - for a change! Managed all trips to and from work this week in the MX5 with the roof down! Honest. But a bit chilly today  .

Called it all sorts of names as I tried to get the front splitter bar off with still no luck , for a bit of plastic it's a PITA to change ,

Since we are in a bit of an off topic mood , Left mine on the drive and decided to put a few miles on my wife's V70 T5 as she sill can't drive for while more . Jings I forgot how mad they are if you use all the afterburner you can arrive at a corner at speeds far in excess of what a volvo is really happy dealing with . 2008 MY Supercharged

four zone climate
remote park heater
and no ugly kid windows.

Spent most of the week to and fro school running and getting her well caked in mud/dirt as the place outside the school is a narrow lane that is WELL CHOKA so its easier to go down the lane a bit where it turns into a green lane and turn round. Down side is the massive pothole puddles/lakes that cover the car. But no other 4x4 goes down it so there is always a gauranteed space to park and turn round and leave the chealsea tractor club in their bling bling navara's and the like to struggle and bump against each other

Got annoyed with the front lower lip as the retaining clip doesn't seem to hold it right so i need to pull the whole thing off and check it out

Me and my dad went pigeon shooting over our bit of farm land it was bloody cold tho  onto no6 Range Rover

Everyone needs a hobby

Took it to the dealership to get a trade in price against an Evoque

Just dropped it of at the indie so he can work on it tomorrow and hopefully find out once and for all what is going on with the suspension! Reformed

Defrosted it with the manual park heat option, came back out 10minutes later to a nice warm cabin

Then went shopping and loved still having space around it when i came back to the car as it was still heavily caked in mud, dirt, and clay

Came home and then set about washing it and the mrs and giving it a light hoover and wash over with a wet microfibre mitt on the interior. Took ages to clean it as it was quite thick in some places and the arches were really bad and being clay had to be soaked a few times All shiny and clean now and all in time for a nice cold week where i decided to start riding to work again now my neck is feeling a lot better after being rammed at the lights

Bit miffed as the drivers side headlight unit has condensation in it for some reason so will need to remove it this week, take the bulbs out and leave it in the airing cupboard for a few days
