I get to drive it at the end of next week lol. First time since Aug.

Has been up in Leicester while the OH detailed it and whatnot. Also we've had builders here and I shudder to think of bricks being dropped on it. Out of sight out of mind lol.

Looking good on the RA's.  I used to have winter and summer wheels (ATS cups and steels), but realised I would have two sets of tyres getting perished before they wore out- so one set of RA's would do!

This is true, the only issue is that the chrome on the RS get absolutely fooked in winter with the salt on the roads. Not worth the effort of having to sort them out each year.  :sad:

Front got lowered a touch the other day, about 2 threads to level out the car, as well as the first clean after winter.

Dirt simply sheeted straight off. Degreased to shift road salt and then foamed twice to ensure it was literally as clean as possible before a nice gentle hand wash. Paint polished with gentle paint cleanser then another fresh coat of Collinite 476s. Nice and shiny for a meander around Fosse park the other day!

Why thank you.
Don't think we'll be going to any shows this year. Bad timing with holidays and whatnot but fingers crossed for 2012!
