That Porsche needs body coloured / white steel wheels.

[somewhatfoolish]

Alloys that look like cheap shit trimz, nasty. I wonder when the last pork came with steels?

 

Random wiki-browsing turned this up; the front cover image on the page for 'The Motor' magazine is this splendid bit of gallic bargery. Clearly the answer was a resounding No.

They look like they stole these alloys off a vectra,  circa 2004.

I washed my car 

First time this year !

On the way to the garage earlier today I trundled past a silver foxbody Mustang, and on the way back gave a very nice looking dark red Volvo 960 saloon a beep and a friendly wave.  Got a friendly wave back from the people in it!  No idea who they were XD.  Also saw a mustard Triumph Dolomite bombing through a junction which was nice.  Stuff to keep an eye out for in the future.

I washed my daily for the first time a few weeks ago. The only other time it had been done since the beginning of Covid was when it was serviced.

I washed it, because I was attending the golf as a guest of BMW so I thought it would be respectful.

It's already looking dirty 🤣

Spare key for the Civic at last.

Only taken 14 months.

My procrastinating skills are waning.

I think I washed mine in March. Maybe? It'll get washed if I sell it.

There's clearly something rotten in the state of Denmark.

As part of doing other things today, I got to go to the beach.

This occurrence made me happy.

Fixed* a rattle in the GT86. The 3rd brakelight was chattering. So I wedged a bright green microfibre cloth under it.

 

The fact you can see it is irrelevant.

Last time for mine was last November, before that it had been about two years, I do clean the inside, glass and mirrors more often though.

Did a tidy number of miles in the P6 yesterday and it behaved really well except for its increasing oil leak. 

At one point a modern SUV pulled up behind me in traffic, I could see its occupants having a look at the car, then they started point and laughing.

Was it something I said? No! It was the Autoshite dealer sticker in the rear windscreen. Thanks @ruffgeezer 😁
