So what have you done to your car today?

[Seth]

Maiden voyage for our new towing vehicle with the caravan:



Hate to say it ... but well pleased!

[chrisgixer]

Passed mot. advisory both front tyres at 2mm 2 new ones £100 pair fitted..

Honey Goodrides? 

No wonder he doesn't drive like he's on a track

[Kevin Wood]

Drove it ~120 miles today from here to Tunbridge Wells to collect this:



Car was faultless, even when stuck in stop go traffic on the M25 on the way back, and returned just over 30mpg.. hurrah!

Incidentally the welder came with a box of bits: http://i57.tinypic.com/2n71l6c.jpg

Includes what looks to me like two TIG torches and perhaps a spot welding attachment for an arc welder, if anyone can identify them?

Same as mine, as recommended by Mr. DTM.

Seems like we need a welding practice session soon. Whose neighbours are immune to flickering house lights, then?

I wouldn't drive like Tunnie with them on. Bloody dangerous.

Not forgetting a possibly slight troll element to the post of course. Replied in kind, naturally.

Wait until I've replaced mine

[05omegav6]

Removed this...



And replaced it with theses...



Fitted new airline, now have working self leveling again, which in turn meant fixing a busted wire on the rear light sensor...

So that I can now adjust theses properly...



And while I was at it tweaked the front crash bar to make the bumper fit just so...



Just the gearbox and engine mount to replace during the week and it's overdue a service whilst it's up in the air...

[05omegav6]

Just taken it for a blast, it now changes gear and direction like it should

Dr Chris should no longer dismiss the manual option as it is now crisper than a tube of Pringles
