Not "what have I done" but "what I might do" . . .

I might think about driving Miggy through a car wash prior to Wycombe meet, only "might"  ::)

I might try some T Cut that I got in Halfords as the colour seems to almost exactly match Miggy, and the paintwork is a bit of a mess  :-\

I might tackle the dreaded "CD got stuck in the CCR2006" problem. I'm getting a bit fed up with the same 4 CDS for the last few weeks  :(

I might do none of the above whatosoever  :y

As the weather was forecast to be crap this afternoon i decided to go early to the breakers at pease just off the M23 past gatwick and get a new tempreture gauge from a preface lift car i found last week, so got there in record time as the inside lane on the motorway was crammed full of drivers afraid to move into the middle lane, oh happy days, so removed the gauge and paid a whole £3 for it, all fitted and it seems to have cured the fault.
Next i removed the blue led dash bulbs to the speedo head and rev counter and replaced with 2.5 watt bulbs as these give a better illumination than the 2.0watt bulbs
Then i fitted the replacment cruise stalk as the cover was off, 5 minute job all done.
Then it was  a strait forward job to replace a broken rear door puddle lamp as the lens had come off....
Tomorrow i will fit the new white led side light bulbs to complement the HIDS that i have fitted.

That should confirm that the oil isn't coming from there :-\ if the dipstick can't/won't pull out, how can the oil escape...

Pull any harder and there'd be an omega dangling off the end of it. :(
