What have you done to your 8V today?

After the thousands I just spent on a wedding ring, I'm going shopping for new bits for the car.

Edit - actually it is the second wedding ring (and engagement ring) I've bought for the same woman. Building up a lot of brownie points methinks

Very quick wash today to get the worse of the grit off mainly so that I could apply Poorboys wheel sealant and do something with the exhaust tips they soot up pretty quickly not sure if its due to Tesco Momentum 99 or the tune that's on it. Performance car show tomorrow so see what goodies I can find for it .....

Today, sadly, I had to pull the old girl's reins in :(

On the way back from a trip out with the missus (yet another bleedin hobbycraft type shop!) and a beemer comes tearin up me jacksy off a roundabout, giving it some big welly. So I let it get ahead a bit and pull out......................we're just accelerating to attack speed and little voice in my left earhole says.............................'Simon, do you have to drive like a boy racer!!' :scared2:

Now I've heard that tone once or twice before...............and realising I'm gonna have to give the old girl the full monty it's gonna result in a spell of incarceration in ye olde doghouse. So we ease off back to the left hand lane and I say to me missus 'Did you see that beemer? ..........bleedin nut-job, bet yer glad I don't drive like that!!'

Love it Dave!! lol

Yeah, get plenty of opportunities to cane it when I'm in the mood on me own....................not worth incurring any unnecessary wrath!! To be honest, it was a tad pathetic anyway, 2,5td beemer....................not really worth getting out of bed for!!

The rain forecast for tonight would have taken care of that snow, mate! Although, you are a little higher up than me in Hamilton.

Gave mine a liberal coating of grit and salt courtesy of the gritter on the M6 gave it as wide a berth as possible but still braced myself going past it.
