Spent £2.50 on it for a new key fob battery  :D

Was that a genuine battery or pattern?  ???  :D

For another £2.50 you could have got it fitted!!  :P  :)

Its pattern but got GM stamped on it  ;D

Cleaned all door shuts, rear wheel arches and around the inner boot lid. De badged the rear end and collected my free wiring loom kit from Helfrauds. After being out tonight SWMBO will be in bed tomorrow suffering so I can do more jobs on her (the mig), without getting grief!! ;D

Popped into halfords this evening,picked up a new head unit( my christmas present lol) and landed up spending £350  :o they had some 17" alloys reduced from 350 to 280+20 for a fitting kit,i asked for more discount and did lol,the cabby was in need of a new set of tyres and wheels need a refurb,and this was the cheaper option.

I took my mom's cruze to regular maintenance and on my way i went through a corner too fast and to make matters worse I floored it, I actually lost control for a few seconds. Michael Schumacher, it turns out am not.

Checked with anti freeze tester to see what temp it's protected to, as I couldn't see what colour it was through tank as is rather filthy

Sadly I am sure that many owners don't have a clue when their tyres are shot until they wind up in the ditch!
