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. ::)
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Costco have now delivered most of the items ordered, after 4.5 weeks.

I do have aa few things i want to order from ebay and amazon BUT
i'll wait now until they clear some of the mountains of post and parcels that royal fail and the other courriers have piled up and this "Christmas" crap is done with  ;D

Priorities  :o
You do really LOVE Cl-Eeyore the French **** don't you  ::)
the Omega won't be happy if it sees you caressing Cl-Eeyore with a soapy sponge  ;D

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.

Emptied about half a bucket of near frozen water from NSR footwell.

Now in a hot bath trying to cure frostbite ;D

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

VXL V6

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 .
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

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.

My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

More water out of the NSR footwell.

Got a years ticket on the Pussy

Pulled the bumper off the battlebus in order to remove the headlight.
