Wheels off today for a good clean, so much easier and quicker that way. Calipers given a good clean too. Then the rest of the car, rinse, snow foam, rinse, wash, rinse and dry. Just finished drying when the rain started but managed to get some QD over the bonnet to remove a few water marks as it had dried a little quicker than I could get round. Cleaned all the glass just before the rain got really heavy :cry:

At least it is good for a couple of weeks now. What is really odd though is being able to get out in late December to clean a car without freezing!

Fitted new tyres at all corners. The OEM Conti sport 2's lasted 25,000 on the back and the Vred sessanta's 15,000 on the front.

Replaced with 4 x Vred Sessanta's - £290 fitted and car is feeling very planted in the wet today :smiley:

Last night I picked the pooch up from the kennels. She's been in for a weekend break. Today I will be cleaning the interior of my poor, poor, beautiful car  :cry: :cry: :cry:

Took the GTD Christmas shopping expecting my favoured car park to be a bit busier than usual.

I was dreading it as I don't do car parks at the best of times :laugh:

On the level above drivers were following shoppers back to their cars!!!

If Carlsberg did car parks ^^^

I dream of car parks like this.  :laugh:

Ah, the joys of xmas parking. People turn into nutters.

I watched an amusing stand-off between 2 cars in the multi-storey last week. Both were determined to snatch the only available space as soon as the occupant was vacating it. Each one edging closer and closer, the poor driver barely had room to get his car out. And in the same car park yesterday, there was a bloke in a TT waiting for someone to free up a space, he stopped his car slap in the middle so no other drivers could get by on either side of him (I was behind him), and to make matters worse the woman giving up the space decided she had all the time in the world to unpack her zillions of shopping bags neatly in the boot. Grrr.

This is why I mainly shop online!

Park and ride is the answer. Nice and big secure parking. Plenty of "OCD Special" spaces with CCTV, Buses every 10 mins and only £3.00 all day on your own or £3.50 for a car full. What's not to like  :smiley:

Christmas shop parking is all about getting there ridiculously early. When I leave the Metrocentre I whip the keys straight out and get stalked all the way back to the  car which is usually a fair walk away.  :evil:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
