Guess I'd better update you all on the progress of the Funflower.
So, back in April it was washed. Since then, it has not been. (I lie - it got COVERED in albatros sh*t at work and I hosed it off).
The blue wheels were added, they were taken off again during the rainy season before the...
Have you done any track days yet...?
My standard 172 was only ~10mph slower at the braking point than the 275 Meg Trophy at Bedford's long back straight.
Clio's are all about the corners.
My nexus 4 is on 70% after 10 hours. Wifi at work helps enormously but it's great for me tbh.
Check out battery chargers on amazon.. I got a 13,000mah one for about £20 which will charge it 4+ times.
You can get silly power ones if you want to spend more. Think there was a thread this...
Been a few weeks.. Plenty of things like CSS coming up so shall we get another one in before September ?
Sunday coming - 20th - North Weald Wings Cafe. The first one before the Squadron.
10:30 onwards...?

Ok .. I thought from your process list there you were claying every weekend :o
Re: Buffer trails - get it machined properly .. find someone on here who knows how to machine, or take it to someone like Jim @ White Details (I don't know where you are based..) and get a correction / seal which...
How often are you claying ?!
Once a year is probably plenty unless you live in an industrial park.
Claying always induces marring....
Get it machine corrected and seal with something like CQuartz then just wash it if necessary.
There's always going to be a compromise with tyres.
Handling over wear for me.
No point having a tyre that will last for 100,000 miles if you fail to get round a corner or stop in time the first week you fit them.
Budget tyres are a false economy.
If you're happy with what you've got...
Certainly. I only charge double for Sundays.
There's not much to see .. it's yellow. Oh and there are lots of red splats all over the front end which is a nice compliment to the SF lello paint.
Yeah I've tried that sort of shizzle, JayDizzle .. Maybe not well enough. It were 'ANGING lad.
Will give it another go next time I get the sponge and bucket out.
On the subject of window cleaning - the seals on the yellow shed are DISGUSTING. Either they've been lavishly saturated with back to black at some point, or, well, I don't know what. In the 6 months I've owned the car, they're still disgusting and still pour black sh*t down the side of the car...
Sounds like the ABS is kicking in.
Cracked ABS rings can cause issues, or knackered sensors..
However, if you've got bald budget tyres, this won't be helping.
Where do you live ?
