Took it on a road trip!
5.30 AM start, home for 9.30 PM.
455 miles in all to bring this back from East Yorks.




Well pleased with the car's performance today - faultless!

Yeah my MFL CDX had them originally too.
The Carlton is pretty rough looking but a friend of ours has recently broken one in the same colour so panels shouldn't be a problem.

Me neither - they were the first change I made.

The CDX lattices are nice but wrong for this one as it's a Diamond, so it will be having the correct alloys put back on.

Not my car exactly, but I was driving with my head up my yaris.

Got a truck stuck across an unfinished road on a building site trying to turn around somewhere that I really, really should have known better  :-[

Might post a pick if the forklift driver that liberated me stopped laughing long enough to put it on tinterweb :-\

changed n/s rear wheel bearing on the cabby,as it started to rumble alot,umm found out why,idiot before who removed dust cap used a big screw driver,and left a nice sized dent in the cap so the elements got into the grease and liquefied it to water lol,new bearing replaced,cap dent hammered out and now fits a treat and the rumble has stopped,not bad for a 1st attempt at a bearing and less than an hour to do  ;D ;D ;D
