2 thing, one good one bad has happened lately
Good: in my 1800 a few years ago, i had allways a wing mirror spider, i had my 20vt for 2 years and never had one, and now today a new spider found it's home in my mirror, gave it a welcome with a mosquito so it'll definatly stay
bad: a little screw made it's way into a tyre, but time enough to fix that before Spa

Everything is coming together with military position. Car is mechanically ready as it'll ever be. If at the final hurdle my Coupe is unable to come, a back up (the Stilo!) will suffice! That said, most eventualities are covered for and car is about 80% ready. Can sort the rest next weekend. Food for thought, you might want some blind spot mirrors - might help increasing the field of vision you will have (bear in mind you're going to lose sight as it is with a helmet on). Mine are on order

Oil and filter changed today.
Car cleaned and waxed then put under a cover until time to load it up on Thursday.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

Euro breakdown cover with Mondial £24.95. Good value I think I got a similar price fron Direct Line, one day I really must sort out ADAC membership to get Euro cover included 365 days a year.

I managed to get breakdown cover through Greenflag for just over £26. Not too bad I thought.
