The guy who did my (re-) detail after 2 years said that the Ciramiq (?) stuff he put on just seemed to flow along the panel and fill all those pits.

My winter tyres went on today. Michelin Alpins. Much better. I was very, very tail happy pulling out of any junction yesterday evening.

Off to the family friend garage for mine in March

I probably missed a bit, but can I ask why you changed cars so quickly?

It's so amazingly fussy. Type of USB stick, type of browser. i wish they'd save us all the bother and enable over the air updates like in the USA. I'll check and see if I'm missing anything now.

Sort of reassuring. I'm not expecting an update, but just like to check from time to time...

https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/sync-bluetooth/update#/ Wondering if it's just me. Every time I tried this week I just got "Looks like something went wrong. Please try again in a few moments"

I've got my return from the Two Ball Rally booked up from Bilbao in July next year. Last time I did the ferry several years ago it was fine, the worst part of it was the rather optimistic marketing of the trip as a "cruise" by Brittany Ferries. It had slot machines plus booze and fags for sale...

Oh it’s a nightmare. From my own experience, I’ve found that the connection is very sensitive to fluff in the iPhone lightning port. I have no idea why this should be the case, but connections that work fine with other devices drop out with this. So I’d suggest toothpick and a Hoover every few...

Each side is a pair of protectors connected with a steel rope. That rope has a bobble on it which you shut in your door which traps them

I'm sorted now, could an admin close this one down.

I got those door defenders too. Thumbs up from me. Though I had to register for Spock or whatever it's called. She charged me £5 for delivery so it was £65 all in for both sides. Much much cheaper than anywhere else.

@Benno2000 dropped by with wheels for me and we had a mini mustang meet at Cowdray Park and a long chat. Great fun.

Rather than leave this totally open ended - I’m looking at the Beach Rally (alps and sea) as first choice. 23rd to 27th July. Would be great if that appealed to any of you. https://www.twoballbangerrally.co.uk/the-route/beach-rally.html As I won’t be taking the organisers up on their kind...

https://www.twoballbangerrally.co.uk/ This bills itself as “a banger rally that accepts all cars”. I was on the lookout for an interesting, sociable car run through Europe that didn’t cost the earth. At £250 a car and four days or so (they run a couple of different rally routes over the...

Nemesis have a small forum discount and they're very helpful. But that's not the most useful thing about them - the most useful thing is that they are UK based and reputable. So if something goes wrong after purchase you have some recourse. It's not like buying from the states and hoping...

I recorded my exhaust for Matt, but if anyone else comes across this thread and wants to know what it sounds like - Borla Touring Catback - here it is. Christian

I was just about to close this thread as I’ve now got a set. Dave Jones at GT101 has a set for sale for around £500. Around this seems to be the going rate.

Still on the lookout and thanks for your suggestions so far.

Hello folks, Rather than changing between summer and winter tyres at the tyre place I'm finally going to do the obvious and get a second set of rims. If anyone has a full set of black stock GT wheels in good shape that they don't want, I'm in the market for them. Cheers Christian
