Drove it to jockular land, and gave the tubes a good clean out over the pass of Glenshee. I'd forgotten how nicely the Omega handles on the twisties, and how forgiving it is when thrown into bends, even at rather "optimistic" speeds at times. :-X And all with everything bar the kitchen sink in the back too. ;D

Wishbones and trackrods on the Trolley. Strangely easier than the Omega, in spite of being fundamentally the same design and wwd :-\

Tracking needs a tweak, but steering now self centres and car drives more nicely.  8)

Drove it to the wrong side of Ipswich and back, and had to put some go-go juice in in the process.  That might be the first time I've put fuel on since Scotland...
Its well known what my views are of Ipswich.

It would appear a contracted something unpleasant on my day trip to the shithole  >:(

Drove it to work, it really likes the crisp morning air we have lately.

Just been really appreciating the power, ride and comfort lately. Compared to car share buddy's very expensive per month, M140i.

Did oil and filter plus bled some fresh brake fluid on the daily after passing the 200K mark (much delayed as I'd been using the project car for a couple of weeks while I sorted out a radiator)
