What have you done to your 8V today?

Slid sideways on black ice. Good job I was only doing 30mph. Certainly woke me up.

Finally fitted my dash cam (mini 0805) today! Really impressed with it so far - discrete and good quality footage!

Hard wiring failed however - for some reason power isn't getting from the piggyback fuse to the camera, despite the fact the piggybacked cig lighter does work. Maybe the dash cam fuse isn't working. Temporarily wired into the cig lighter at the moment!

Gone off C2 In a big way...didnt bead well for long enough or add that uber gloss effect l was looking for, Gyeon Cure Q2M is far better in all aspects,give a try when yer C2 runs out

Absolutely not! Hatch backs without a wiper look crap. Plus it has a purpose.

The only purpose my A3 badge had was to snag my wash mitt and conceal dirt in the crevises.
