Planning on washing the plastic french thing today and the Omega tomorrow.
Its firkin cold though.  ::)
All 3 of mine need doing, but as the ground is still frozen from the frost, I don't want to create a slip hazzard for neighbours.  Thats my excuse.
I got the Albanians to run a sponge over it ready for its MoT a couple of weeks ago. Might let them do it again in January  :D

Tut Tut - for several reasons. ::)

Dont like a dirty car even if it is French, so it had a quick wash. The Omega will have a proper wash & dry tomorrow.  ;)

Done nothing on the car, but I did fire up the YZ MotoX bike...........

YZ bikes should be fun to play. My buddy got one it is really a nice toy. We'll have a trail run this coming weekend after we finished installing the suspension and black rhino wheels on the truck. I'll be on my TRX quad bike.

Nice one.  :y

My son had the Matt Black XD798 8 spokes on his black truck, with General Grabbers on them. Looked pretty cool but the tyres were a bit rumbly on Tarmac.  :y

Those wheels look great. Good thing the parts from 4Wheelonline showed up earlier. As for tyres, I like Continentals.

Washed it. It was filthy from going back and forth to Mums over the last week or so.

Yesterday, completely flat battery on the daily as the multi-timer, door switch or something around that area is either immersed in rainwater or FUBAR so the dashcam etc wired off the rear 12v socket turns on randomly  :o

Manual key in the drivers door with a pair of grips wouldn't unlock the door but put a nice twist in the key  ;D so jacked up the front and put the Ctek on the back of the starter motor and used a bellhousing bolt as a 0V. Managed to get enough charge into the battery to operate the door locks from the fob and hence could then open the bonnet to connect direct to the battery  :y

Hopefully can nurse this old tired old car through the winter and bad weather / salt on the roads then replace it with something a bit newer next year.

Dropped the bi black pussy off for an MOT, got a shit load more water out of TBE, wiped off the moss that the birds keep dropping on the cars with a sponge, then took TBE for a damn sound thrashing to knock the rust off the discs.

Took the Range Rover out for a quick blast , haven't driven it for around 10 days posted some mail en route then about 12 miles down the A16 towards Peterborough & then back home and tucked up in the garage again, only covered around 2500 miles since March .

.........got a shit load more water out of TBE ........

It's a shame that you can't profile some sort of canopy and seal it with mastic under the scuttle to deflect the water forwards in to the drain hole area but I can see that this is nigh on impossible as it is the main drain from the centre as well. I also see what I take to be the black bar with the large grommet in the background.
