Leaf blower, hoover & chopper upper thingy.
Kitler is immediately on the case, and ultimately decided to invade the box.
Sadly it's raining at the moment, but I'll use it later to blow dry the cat when she comes in all wet..

After the Ecto-1 and DeLorean (nostalgia purchases) earlier this year I fancied another build. This was half price, plus I had extra discount so worked out pretty cheap.

Turns out it was released this morning, not 31st as I thought

Some purple rubber. Just waiting for some braided brake lines to arrive and then the suspension rebuild can begin! Expensive bits of rubber mind you!

Those aren't rubber. That's kinda the point

Bit of a weird one but new windows! Just waiting for the bay sashes to be fitted now which should be next week...

Next task will be to fix the side render and then its onwards with the fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes. Still undecided on colour but thinking it will be white soffits and fascias with black gutters and downpipes...

Oh and yes that wall is in need of TLC...

Apologies for potato pic.

Just bought a new (to me) S5. Virtual cockpit, B&O, Matrix LED

That’s a lot of car for £800.

Absolutely, jumped on it when I saw the price

They weren’t too happy about that though

Did they make a mistake pricing the car ?? Honestly have no clue what it should be going for so quiet curious.

The big 800 isn’t actually the price, it’s just the deposit contribution. Car was £33k, which is crazy, but I drove competing products and nothing else hit the spot like the S5.

It’s an absolute machine.

Ahh right, so the deposit would normally been much higher. Gotcha ! And thanks for the explanation !

It was a fairly flexible agreement being a PCP.

You’re able to put down whatever you want, and it’ll adjust the monthly payment in accordance. The more you put down, the less interest you pay, since you’ve already paid a big chunk of it.

I put down £12k to bring the monthly down a bit.

What you doing that needs spades?

Digging?

Having a bit of a move about nd want things more flush with a wall and bananas and thick van-damne cables don't allow much room to curl/bend or flush up against a wall.

Out of interest, where did you end up ordering them from?

Was off Amazon

Black IMO. Fair play on going sash, much nicer than what your neighbor has.

Wall shouldn't be too big of a job and it'll be epic once done.

That your Polestar?

God no, this is pre diesel.

18 plate, manufactured pre PPF

I test drove another car which had been plagued by PPF and it’s like it had the soul ripped out

Slightly crappy flight out, but it was either this or fly at 5pm on the Saturday and have one day less.
