Bags for life (many of) and paper hankies

My cousin met his wife in Tescos, where they both worked - he refers to her as his "bag for life".
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

New brake pads and discs all round, fluid change after 6 years and new Spark Plugs, oh and I fitted this as well....



Road noise seems significantly quieter now.

Picked my car up from having the sunroof surround replaced. All seems good. So nice to get back in it, I'd really missed it. Funny how even though the loan was basically the same car, mine feels like a different model. Not just the speed, even the interior, not sure why. Must be that all those little extras and touches add up.

Earlier I took my OH's Lupo to the supermarket (I don't like taking a loan car out unless I have to) and even though it is only a 1.0l with some of the lame ponies installed when new clearly now having breathing difficulties, it felt so much more responsive and fun to drive (slowly!) than the 1.5TSI Golf.

Watts, so pleased to hear you have your car back with the new roof, hope you can now enjoy the car fully without issue.

As it was a nice afternoon, I managed to wash mine and throw around a GTechniq loaded rag somewhere near the car! ;)
