I have done nothing to my R apart from fixing a puncture and re-hanging the doors. Not washed it since new (nearly 5 months), not driven it (1 month as in my 2nd home in Greece). Coming back to London tonight. Back in Greece Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec. Back in London for X-mas and New Year. Then away March '16 onwards until June/July. Wonder why I have a car at all.
