Beautiful. It’s a vauxhall omega isn’t it?

Hoisted by my own petard! It looks in great condition too.

It was perfectly positioned, centre of the shot.
Joking aside the view looks great. We’re looking for ideas for uk trips given that foreign trips are off the cards for now

From that angle. your TCR is crying out for the rear of the roof to be wrapped black.

On the topic of Vauxhalls, when we were away a couple of weeks ago, my wife pointed at a car in the distance, saying "Oh look, an old Cavalier. My Dad had one of those."

"I think you'll find that's a Carlton Diplomat," I replied.

Obviously we had to go over and have a look. "How did you know... No, why do you know something like that?" She said.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Never mind a roof wrap, it should have been wearing a Where’s Wally hat!

Later today I will be attempting to fix my soundaktor rattle without unplugging the thing. Bought some number plate tape for the job. Any words of wisdom?

Oh and if anyone’s interested I’m not going for the TCR. Financially would have been ok. My car had no negative equity after the 18 months I’ve had it. Can’t complain!

I did unplug my soundaktor but I get a frequency “ buzz rattle” from that area sometimes and I would be v interested to hear what you do and the result obtained.
My buzz varies depending on road surface and seems more frequent under acceleration.
Or..... is this just the scuttle shake referred to recently by Fredgroves when comparing Golf with BMW 135?

Did you take another test drive in the end or was it just not for you?
