Well I just spent 45 minutes cleaning the car, it was a breeze after having the paintwork sealed during it's recent detailing by Peter from Eclipse Valeting

The car is gleaming and so are the wheels

Good man Ty - I have just spent about the same on mine - Can't tell if it's gleaming as I can't see sod all in the dark Didn't look too bad when I was in Tesco filling up though See you all in the morning

What a day i've had. Are you ready for this??
  • Worked 15hrs last night as one of the print lines packed in.
  • Was supposed to seal and wax the car last night but too late.
  • Had 3.5hrs off this morning to seal and wax, also clean bike ready for glyncorrwg tonight. Got car out of garage went to reverse up curb to put bike in and ripped the bumper clean off
  • Tried to repair but failed so left it for tonight.
  • Rammed bike in car and shot off to Morrisons to clean in car wash.
  • Ran out of time so rushed to work.
  • Went out on bike and the boys decided to do Skyline, luckelly some diversions were in place. But then as we go to the last descent they desided to do whites too
  • Got back to my fathers and repaired bumper and mudflaps (cable ties rule)
  • Now getting in.
So car is not sealed or waxxed. Boy am i going to be busy tomorrow morning.

But hey!! Stroll on tomorrow.

I am sure it will be fine Simon, I will ring you when I leave in the morning just to make sure you are up and about.

These are the benefits of having the car paintwork sealed Calvin , it is a breeze to clean - you know me why spend 5 hours cleaning a car when 45 minutes will do.

It will be my Hawkeye, I spoke to Dave yesterday but he was in the West Midlands, I rang him today but he was out again I am waiting for him to come back to me either tonight or tomorrow.

I would love the s202 and lets just see if a deal can be reached.

Sorry to see you stuck on the bridge you know my thoughts on your problem.

I saw Moose just before he went on the track sorry to say it but you missed a cracking day and I even managed to get hold of a Subaru WRC heavy jacket reduced from £200 to £90 what a bargain.

Main bearings failed again during running in. The engine gave a little cough coming over the bridge and the knock reading shot up and CEL light came on, so i immediatly pulled over and it was evident the bearings had failed again. An hour of waiting on the bridge for mr AA only to find out my cover was only for recovery to a safe place ie Magor, where i was told it would be £100 to upgrade with the AA. So i phoned my other breakdown cover and had it recovered straight back to the garage again. Can't believe my luck, feel like sticking a for sale sign on it. Getting a bit fed up of this now.
