As the guys (@Martin_172 & @Mr Trailer Man) above mention - I'll guarantee that you'll have packed dirt/mud behind the arch liner. Here's what was behind mine when I took them off in August '24. Be careful not to damage the arch liners taking them out also - they are like hen's teeth to...

Must be impressive to know that your car is 1 of only 2 in the country. I tend to think that my 'most-common-colour' 182 is a rare sight on the roads, but this is on another level.

Never really got on with the follow up - Chaos Strikes Back. I felt that they made it too difficult for its own good.

DM was phenomenal for its time. I remember reading the reviews about it at school at the unique gameplay that it brought. I also recall being envious of the Atari ST owners who could run it immediately, yet the Amiga A500 people (like me) needed the additional 512k addon memory card.

Tried the (very) short Underkeep demo on Steam and I really liked it. Proper nostalgic 2D dungeon crawler - it even references the 'worm round' food from FTL's classic Dungeon Master. In these days where everything has to have a back story and chapters of lore with it - to create a party and...

Went for the knock-off 8Nm boost kit over the 5Nm default Fanatec offering. Half the price of the official item, but it works well. Glad I bought it. https://amzn.eu/d/0eMrtD0r

Had Brembo discs up front on my last overhaul. Standard OEM ones on the rear. Found that the Brembos tend not to get much in the way of surface rust when the car has been parked after rain also.

Had a few delivery drivers ask about mine as it's parked on the drive, next to the front door. While I like people asking questions about it, there is that glint of paranoia about it. They are 99% most likely genuinely interested in it. It's the remaining 1% that you don't know about.

True. That Fiesta couldn't have been worth sod all though - strange that it would even be targeted. Unless is was pure opportunity. It's like the modern cars that all have their wing mirrors folding. Any scroat can visually scan a car park and see which one is unlocked. They might not have the...

As always - very impressive stuff that my brain would probably comprehend 1% of!

12-year-old Fiesta with 100k on the clock getting stolen. Seemingly any 'ol s**t is still fair game. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp08kmk4eo

Do you have one of those protective covers on the wheel underneath as well?

I know. And I've never had any issues with mine at all. I just don't know why this has crossed my mind recently.

Thanks all - Disklok it is then. Do they do one big enough for the truck-sized steering wheel in the Clio? ;) I've always had that inverse view that being seen to 'overly' protect your car, might attract more attention? I'll just have to get over that!
