I have a mate that regularly takes his wheels off and cleans them. (Actually I'm jealous and think it's a really good idea ) I'm often checking for leaves in scuttle panel corners, and recently since I've found out how to do it, spell Coupé with an accent (This could go into remission when I get my Coupé back ) What do you do? Grease sunroof mechanism? Regular inspection behind 3/4 panels? Polishing coolant hoses? List your fussinesses below.. .

Don't you two start ganging up on me, one pair of hands here When I finally retire,I'm going to camp/live in a corner of Joe's workshop and help him. He will once again be able to enjoy my French biscuits and once again laugh at my frustration in not being able to find the correct spanner all day. Then we will be two pairs of hands! Thank me later Guv!

The former owner of my Porto comments whenever my tail pipe isn't shiny! I suspect it was the only bit of fussiness he really showed the car!

I just got an image of loads of forum members retiring to Joe's workshop, all sitting around drinking tea and eating exotic biscuits, all wandering around looking for correct spanners and all standing around the office computer chuckling at online scam emails. That describes some of my Saturdays here perfectly, 'they' drink the tea eating the biscuits they brought with them while I'm spannering.

Got to be placing a set of counter positioned felt furniture pads in strategic positions around the Coop to ease the plastic on plastic creaking and groaning.
I've gone around two sets of Coupé interiors with thinly cut strips of sticky back felt over the years. It makes an amazing difference to the perception of build quality when it's completely squeak, creak and rattle free! I'm actually going back to a black interior 'soon' and so will have to do it all over again aon th new set I've acquired
F****** b****** thing...

When I win the lottery I'll personally fund an apprenticeship scheme so that Joe can get some extra pairs of hands while training new mechanics to work at fcss. Then we can all sit around drinking tea and petting dogs Holiday lets/second homes in a new Drum&Monkey extension ?
