My brother changed my interior lights to LEDs, new headlight bulbs, sidelights and number plate bulbs. I gave the car a wash, gave it a polish but it was that hot I had to stop and havent been able to wax it!  :fighting: :fighting:

spent 3 hours Saturday cleaning and polishing, also using some harder scratch remover to get rid of some marks with some success. Not drove but already abit dirty due to the cold nights and dusty air :(

Gave the car a good clean yesterday due to the birds taking to "checking themseves out in the passenger mirror"  :pomppomp:, they have been doing it for about 3 weeks now, they fly out of the trees next to my car 2 or 3 at a time and land on the front passenger door rubber strip at bottom of window where they take a crap!  :fighting:, they then proceed to the wing mirror where they either check themselves out  :love: or proceed to attack their reflection  :fighting:, its actually quite funny watching it but not when they take a crap on my shiny Candy ED30, car cover has been ordered to prevent this from now on!

washed it, realised that its covered in tar, that its had a new windscreen at some point in its life and found another ding in one of the back doors.

put my alpine stereo in at last.

waxed the car

What did I do today? - Go for an absolute blast on 50 miles of twisty and exciting B-roads with the sunroof open and all windows down just half an inch to release cabin pressure waves. I really exercised the Quaife diff. There's even a short tunnel to get noizy in!

Same again for the rest of the week as it's driving my daughter to and from the nearest train station.
