Busy weekend...
New tyres on Thursday Friday Morning, washed it, removed the roof bars, cut polished and waxed the roof... Friday afternoon drove to Scotland for a party. Saturday drove to Leeds to drop my wife and daughter at another party while I drove to Castleford to pick up a passenger door, back to Leeds to pick up my family and then back to the midlands. 750 Miles in 24 hours and the car ran brilliantly Today I've fitted the passenger door and while this car has the worst paintwork I've ever seen, I now feel like I'm getting somewhere now all the panels are all basically straight. |

Yes they were!
Around here McLarens, Lambos and Ferraris are much more common than ZTs. A couple of weeks ago a McLaren driver here had his new car impounded within 10 minutes of taking delivery of it at the dealership. He was doing 160 kmh in a 90 zone, Temptation can be a terrible thing! Note the "New Driver" placard on the one on the right.

Replaced a broken window switch in Tarquin.

Gave it a wash, went to work in it, travelled to Middlesbrough, drank coffee and put the world to rights then came home again.
It looks half presentable after a clean, made me feel a bit better too Brian |

Only ‘half presentable’? What’s the matter with you Brian? Yuum slipping our kid.

Well you must be common. Where Tarquin lives is posh.

Swapped back to my set of .75mm spark plugs, having noticed a deterioration in idle quality over the past few weeks which I put down to the plugs becoming fouled due to the rich running.
Immediate improvement, so we'll see how it lasts. There's definitely still an issue somewhere, but hopefully this will get me through to Gretna for the T4 God that is Marinabrian to have a look. |

Of course it’s posh. Don’t give the game away.
