Did not wax it 
All I did today was drive it after I got the snow of it, good fun though.

Update on RE070 then after driving a bit more, and driving in rain/snow conditions.
Tramlining is there, and boy do you know about it. Not experienced anything like this before, can't say I enjoy it.
Grip level in wet/cold conditions is poor, they indeed match their reputation for low wet grip, bit of a ditchfinder really.
Is this tyre a one trick pony? Could well be.

Renewed the insurance!

Drove it, used lots of fuel, enjoyed every second of it. No need for a stereo when driving lanes, perfect sountrack follows me as I go.

Went out to give the car it's usual Sunday tyre check, hoover and wash. I'm not sure I'll be doing a proper job of the washing it this week. My hands were numb after just checking the tyres. Managed to hoover the car afterwards, but I think I'll see how much crap I can clean off just by pressure washing. I'm not usually one to let the weather get in the way of cleaning the car, but it's bitterly cold outside today. Having just typed that I've looked out the window and I can see snow falling.
I think I may also order some drop-links today and try and find the source of an occasional thud in the back of the car which has been annoying me all week, I think it's probably the parcel shelf so that can sit in the garage this week as a test. If that doesn't work then bits of the interior are coming off until I'll probably end up with a fully stripped 306 which still rattles.

Fixed the secondary air pump on my wife's Leon Cupra ready to get it up for sale. I'm so, so cold and I can't feel my arse from laying on the driveway. 
Bit cold for Bridgestones at the moment

Killed another tyre...
Guessing this is the culprit, which will be tackled very soon.
Had to put the space saver tyre on, what a joke the car looks now... Found black circles has Pirelli PZero Rosso's for £122 fitted. Is this a good price?

Let us know how the S3 gets on. Before and after graphs are a must
Will do, for better or worst!
Well, she's been mapped!
All in good order apon arrival and no faults so straight into mapping, slight issue with fuel trims (perfectly safe but still a minor issue((Turned out to be a crushed FPR! Will be replaced ASAP))
Before - 208BHP@~6200RPM 207TQ@~3100RPM
After - 265BHP@~5400RPM 293TQ@~3800RPM
= What a difference!
R-Tech have seriously impressed me! great guys and astonishing custom map for a stage 1!

Excellent! It's good to know your car got a once over for potential issues before the map. How many miles are on your clutch? Affected fuel economy pottering around much?
