Did a lap of Olympia National Park.... Top half on the way out and back via Aberdeen. 431 miles all told.

Zoom out for a sense of scale :o

If the opportunity presents itself to spend a decent bit of time exploring Washington, grab it with both hands.

Discs and pads on the ML. Took about 45 minutes once I had acquired a 9mm hex. Hopefully that will also take care of the vibration in the front end at anything over 65 mph...

Then put some fuel in The Proper Car ready for an overdue run out in it.

That was the problem I had when I did my R Class's brakes. I seem to remember then needing an 11mm too for something else brakes related.  :-\

Depending on the weather.  ::) I bought rear pads for my ML months ago with the intention of fitting them myself. Life & weather got in the way & I ended up getting someone else to fit them.  :-[

I thought about taking mine for a run somewhere, as it's barely move since its MOT.  But I might just top it up with some electricity instead, as the CBA levels to do that are easier to achieve ;D
