Hit a tree…
Wind had brought down branches and part of a tree on the A1, just managed to swerve and clipped a branch, smashing my mirror glass.
Good job I’ve got a spare in the garage.

Always useful to have a spare tree around.

Got a new car last week but although immaculate everywhere else the steering wheel was a bit shiny:
Some Gliptone liquid leather has got it back to looking new again:

Yes a sapphire blue 991.2 Carrera convertible. I had a Taycan before, but now I have an ID Buzz the Taycan was a bit too practical to be a weekend car. Plus *shhhh* electric cars are a bit boring to drive.
I have a m8 who has just swapped a Taycan for a new shaped Vantage (had a 911 previously and loved it, think the Taycan wasnt quite what he wanted) - im not a fan of electric stuff but the Buzz looks great, watched a few reviews from The Late Brake show on it. What do you think?

Bled the front brakes on the Alto
Charged the battery
Cleaned some mould off the passenger seat
Re-attached the front numberplate with the factory bolts
Soon I'll be able to drive it... Only got it what, over 2 months ago.

Taxed it and drove it! Thank god!
And it only has about 5 other issues, but its OK because only 2 of them are potentially serious. I'm back baybee...

Minories Carpark, those who have parked there on the upper levels will probably know of the rather narrow bends and protruding kerbs as you go down 
All for the sake of £4.50 parking for the whole day

Me likey. Will have to try this as an alternative to steam + clean.
Edit: which Gliptone product did you use? Liquid leather seems to be a product range

Congrats, you’ve just told everyone you can’t drive properly
Nor can I because I recently had a fight with a curb in my 135i and lost

At least when I kerb my wheel on the E43 I have this habit of only kerbing my front left

Think I’ve curbed every corner at some point
Inevitable catching up with the Navara
need to find someone who can do it properly really but they are all quite a distance from me, guy around the corner who'll do Lanoguard but I'm not a fan personally - just tends to seal the rust in without doing much to address it.On 140K miles so had a good run out of it though (EDIT: Don't even want to think how much I've spent in fuel on it).
Dealer has some nice 21 plate ones but they don't really compare to the 3L V6

Suzukisport suspension all on, brakes bled up, feels very solid now.
Set the dampers to the middle setting, they're 6 way adjustable on the front and 8 way on the rear.
Next thing is that I need to change the thermostat because it seems to be stuck open.. Sigh!
