Went to the garage this morning to get my winter wheels/tyres (VW Aspen alloys + Continental TS 830s) taken off and my summer (Seattle Shadows) set put on. It (60 plate GTD) looks so much nicer with the proper alloys on. Whilst I was watching the swap take place, another customer sidled up to me and asked me what I thought of my car and whether I was happy with it, also remarking how much he liked it. It is impossible to express adequately just how much I like my car, but I managed to tell him that it was great and I was very happy with it. He then volunteered that he was thinking of buying one. "The new one?" I asked. He replied, that, he was thinking about the Mark 6, as he preferred the shape. He then talked to another customer about how I'd have to clean my wheels once I got home as if I wasn't there and in due course, the pair of them got bored looking at my car and wandered outside where they continued talking (hopefully not about me/my car).
After paying £20 for the swap (I gave them a tip as I was feeling generous) I returned home, where I gave my winter wheels a thorough cleaning with plenty of Bilberry. They were pretty dirty, but came up a treat. I then washed the car (absolutely filthy all over) with Optimum No Rinse only for it to start raining. Due to the rain, I had to put the winter set back in the shed without putting any sealant on - that'll have to wait until any sunny weather that decides to come along.
Usually I get the winter set taken off in the middle of March. Not this year. Stupid lousy weather.
