All of the good colours.

Doing a spot clean. Did some floor mats last night and was impressed. Much more difficult doing the car from 4 stories and 15m away. The horrible damp smell appears to have abdicated, replaced by Aldi lavender fabric conditioner. Hoping that stays. Some stains still left because I ran out of time. Next on the list is getting this 12v battery charged and then the IMA batteries could do with a shedload of rejuvenating cycles which I need to borrow someone else's house for

I feel INSIGHTFUL and DYNAMIC I can't emphasise enough just how much of a pain in the arse this driver's door card has been in the Insight. This is the first time in about a year it's been on. The drivers window motor burnt out in Tesco whilst fully down. I took the door card off, took the window out and spent countless hours fucking around trying to put it back on. This lead to a very significant leak, mould and other problems when it was parked up. I even duct taped the window up for ages. Massively demoralising being defeated by simple trim. BAKED ON LIKE A BASTARD Used WD-40 and a scraper, came off a treat. Touched up the bumper trim a bit. Photos don't do it much justice but take my word, it's marginally better. And speaker hooked up, doorcard attached. Thank fuck for that. Mary on a donkey painting to celebrate

This week: trim. The Lexus is starting to grow on me, didn't like it originally because there's so much hype but it's distinctly average and doesn't over deliver in any way: it's not fast, it's kinda comfy, it's not that roomy etc etc. Then you take it on a long trip and you start to appreciate it: very quiet, excellent sound system, rock steady. The thing that pushed me over the edge was getting stuck in traffic during an orange march in Glasgow. Aggressive drivers, my son needed a pee, shopping in the boot starting to defrost but it was incredibly stress free in the Lexus, you're really well insulated from everyone else and I like that a lot. Even more so than an Audi S8 with double glazing. It had some remedial work, suspension bits, brakes, fluids and some leaks addressed. Still needs more but it feels better. After I treated it, it decided to reward me by spinning out with the entire family on board at 15mph with no warning. I reckon it's a combination of heat, fresh rain and an old tyre. I had some crossclimates due to be fitted today but Costco didn't bother contacting me. The guy at Costco I called hasn't seen 225/60 16 tyres in a million years apparently.

Check out the MOTs and brace yourself. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1453419 Ignore the price and just check out the interior. I love a fancy spec on a city car

@SRi05, do you have a link to the stuff you bought? I have more faded trim than I could shake a stick at

What a buy! Great to see old pope Ratty on a car again. Also, where's your chronic BL rust? This looks suspiciously clean

Just lost the arse end of the Lexus LS400 massively at 15mph with the whole family on board. It was heavy rain granted but I wasn't travelling at speed, I was driving smoothly and barely applied any throttle. The back tyres were inflated correctly, they've worn evenly, the tread is OK but they're sailuns. Gonna have to spunk some money on crossclimates for the back. I've always bought cheap tyres and I've never had a problem but that was marginally scary This car badly wants me to hate it. It's just back from having a fair old chunk of work and a hefty-ish bill.
