Got a morning track session booked. Will be bringing the E34 for this. Also next year target of getting the Clio fixed

https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1848696 £4750 and there is wiggle room in the price.

I remember having to do this back in 2020 when it all kicked off for all our code base and repositories. Couldn’t have slave, master, black lists, white lists. Still have some of the words kicking about which is apparently ok now. And in a previous job we were the Image Analysis team so...

Ran out of wheel cleaner. Found some Autoglym Clean Wheels in the shed. Actually not that bad! Sprayed on, waited, jet washed off and all the dirt had collected nicely to be washed off. Granted the wheels have been coated in C5 and it was only light dirt but I was impressed for something found...

Baby seat will be in the car. I’m using this day as an excuse to get away from family life. This reminds me, I still need to buy said baby seat.

I’m seriously considering taking the E34 out in the morning session. It’s probably the only suitable working car I’ll have to take to a track day come July.

@dann2707 ^^ this! Girlfriend has the proper car and I just need something as a little run around kind of thing. Plus I have issues and this Ph1 is perfect. I’m actually going to use my E34 as the family car until I save up a bit for something proper to get. But any excuse to have another...

I like this a lot, Ph1’s are such a pretty little car when they look like this. I need a family car…these have iso fix in the back…and they are simple mechanically and easy to fix…… must resist the temptation. Tbh more appropriate family car than the Z3 I’m currently driving. When I see good...

Not going to lie, did laugh a lot at that

I’ve got an iPhone 14 Pro so has the LiDAR on to help with focusing. Which is great. But when you try to take a photo through a window it won’t focus, assume it’s the LiDAR giving the wrong focal point. There was a massive stag in the garden earlier and I couldn’t get a photo of it Tried...

So you say not to use a wheel cleaner and just use snow foam/shampoo?

GTechniq C5 wheel armour - I am very impressed! I hate cleaning wheels, especially the Style 32’s I have. But I have these wheels a good decontamination, clean and then a C5 coating before they went on the car the a few weeks back. I am washing them now and chucked some generic wheel cleaner...

I've got these dehumidifier bags / moisture trap and use them in my Z3 and they have been perfect. I've not had a misty window so far this winter and I am using the car most days and getting in it about 6am, so way before it would naturally clear up. I tend to use one for a few days then swap...

Has it been the year of the broken/unused Ph1?! I even had an awful thought of selling my E34 to get enough funds without needing to save up to "finish" the Clio - gear box rebuilt with LSD, sort out the body work and any rust, refresh the undersides (remove and powdercoat front subframe and...

Mine hasn't moved in 8 months still with a poorly gearbox and that wont change for at least another year ☹️

The camo pant job worked 🤦🏻‍♂️ I thought the were Land Rovers, sure the other one was an Evoque and they were both being followed by a Range Rover

Couple of self driving Land Rovers being followed by a Range Rover have just done a few laps pat work and what I thought crashed into the roundabout.

If you need an interior there is one under the stairs of a house I used to live in Reading. I didn’t know what to do with it so put it there and forgot about it as it was in a cupboard in the cupboard under the stairs so wasn’t even on show. I’d laugh if it is still there 9 years later.

Finally changed the phaser solenoid seal. What a prick of a job Ended up using a punch to bend it enough to come out. Quick clean and then used a socket to push the new one in. Feels a lot more snug. Had the car running for 10mins and no oil on the rocker cover so take that as a win. Forgot...

Very nice. I am biased but always think a Ph1 is a proper pretty car. And I hate this one as it makes mine look scrap. One day it won’t….

Not always helpful when they say it’s remote. I’ve had one where I sent my CV off as it was remote and looked decent but then when I got speaking to the recruiter it was office based in London and he said “oh I always say remote to get more interest”. No thanks.

What are people’s opinions on ceramic shampoo? I’ve used AMDetails Hybrid Shampoo in the past but I have seen GTechniq W3 Ceramic Wash but that is a bit pricy. The Z3 has a ceramic wax on and my E34 has Gtechniq EXO and CSL coating. After washing for the Z3 I use some normal sealant and the E34...

I did chose home plan but that was with another provider and not Starlink. I’ll double check though. I’ve just ran a speed test on my phone and it’s giving 32.6Mbps which is ok? Doesn’t say what the upload speed is, I know it’s not perfect as when I upload pictures on here it takes forever and...

Hmm I might have to go and work out how much data a month I use. I don’t do gaming so the slow ping isn’t a problem with satellite. It’s annoying as the main part of the village has actual broadband but I’m about a mile away and it doesn’t. We have managed as it is for a year but with WFH...

It’s about £500 for the equipment and then the package I was looking at about £75 a month but that was for 65Gb data a month. Which I have no idea will be enough. The next deal up was £125 a month. I don’t mind paying if it will do the job. Wait, what?! What is that mifi box?! That looks...

I don’t have broadband at home and still using an ADSL connection, because rural life. While the speed is ok and I can stream films, join Teams calls for work and use my VM do do work (the virtual desktop is pretty much a no go though) it is the reliability which is the worst and makes it...

Thank you, it’s been enjoyable and annoying at times but I do have long term plans for it and progress has slowed due to life. It is a dash out job unfortunately. However I just masked up as best as I could and painted in situ and then when the dash ever comes out I’ll do it properly.

Spent some time on the Clio this morning while it was sunny. Took the wheels off to work out what I am going to do with the arch liners. Have a plan now so just need to order some of the plug fixings. Going to run the curved part and the front sections I’ll cut off the bit that attaches to the...

I have never done this….. 👀

You get to page 3 and continue reading? Goes straight in the no pile if I get to the end of page 2 and there is more.
