Well its the last Bank Holiday weekend until Christmas, what are you doing with it?
Personally, now that i've purchased a load of shiny engine bay bits, i've decided to give the engine bay a real good clean armed with a toothbrush and a few expendable cloths.
Follow this with a clean of the interior and the exterior and the car should be beautiful by Tuesday.

Get yourself some autoglym engine and machine cleaner truffle it's greta stuff and Halfords have 3 for 2 on all cleaning products at the moment too!!
Well this weekend I have my lad as the ex is getting all her school stuff ready for the beginning of term, she's a teacher.
So been chilling out this morning, fitted new coupe richbrook tax disc holder, played a lot of "Street Sliderz" scalextric with the lad and been watching spongebob squarepants too!!
Put two loads of washing out on the line and just put another load in, going on holiday a week wednesday so sorting the washing out ready.
Just having lunch now, might pop to the driving range with the lad as he loves it, wash the coupe, check out the dodgy brake light and make sure all fluid levels are ok.
if I get a chance I'll swap the centre console over for the mint one out of my red coupe too.
The girlfriend is gonna make cakes with the lad after so might go out for a bike ride for a couple of hours, gotta love the bloody windy weather too!!
Then tomorrow morning will be spent chilling and watching tele, if i get the chance I'll be taking the carpet out the red coupe ready to be sent off, sold it!
The try and go on the bike for a couple of hours again!!
monday will just be spent chilling out, play with the coupe and bike ride again, not as long this time though as I have a time trial tuesday evening.
Well you did ask!!

Car wise, I need to put petrol and screenwash in...exciting eh  Today I have gone some way to recovering from my hangover  , done a load of washing, had my hair cut, been to Tesco, friend coming over to visit estate agents, so she can hopefully find a place and move away from her waster husband Tomorrow if the weather is fine, might pop the bike on the train to London and have a ride around the city with a few Starbucks stops. If not, I may go to the office and have a monster clear out in preparation from the clear desk policy that comes in on the 4th ...eeek  Monday, enjoy the forecast sunshine and go to friends for a bbq

I write this sitting in my hammock under the grape vine in my back garden with a lager shandy next to me.
Girlfriend out until 6pm so, perhaps, when I lever myself out of here I will have a potter with the coupe.

Well this engine bay cleaning thing is a bit infectious. I've now removed the horns and will pop to Halfords tomorrow to buy some nice new ones.
Am also going to remove the holding bracket and give it a good going over with galvanising spray.

funny thing that as changing the horns and cleaning the bracket is one of the best things to do to clean up the engine bay I think!!
got a bargain at the tatton park show last weekend, a pair of horns for £7!!

sleeping? Wanted to do something nice with the other half as I have been away all week, and she is away all next week. I thought what better way to treat her than taking her out for a drive in the country side....and then called in at county cruising to pick up some coupe bits ! I then followed this up by making her put fuel in the car, and rounded up by calling in to a cafe and having two great meals, drinks, and pudding....and then passing her the bill It must be love because its dam sure not my body

My girlfriend laughs moans endlessly at me because my idea of relaxing is doing something!!
I just am not capable of sitting doing nothing!!! Same here! Although with one slight correction... Today I've treated my Plus to a "no-rinse" wash, cleaned & treated the wheels & tyres, polished & Rain-X'd the windscreen, vacuumed the interior, "detailed" the dash & console, cleaned & conditioned (Glyptone) the leather and finally replaced manky old wheel bolts for brand new shiny ones Tomorrow I'm off to check out a Honda VFR 750 my bro is thinking of buying, watching the GP then cleaning my GF's 20V NA inside & out...not sure what to do on Monday as yet 
![[Linked Image]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/jas_racing/sigpiccopy.jpg) She's GONE!

Was at the N. Ireland Italian Motor Club meet today for a couple of hours. Came home and slept all afternoon.
But apart from maybe going out for a few jars tonight, I plan to do nothing. Mainly because in the last two and half weeks of my summer hols I've done nothing but decorate.

Went into London, cycled around past all the big sights, managed not to get squashed by buses (I had not truly realised how many of the wretched things there are). A fab way to get around central London, pretty much flat, far quicker than public transport  Took some piccies Shame the weather wasn't better

Well today has been productive, an early trip to halfords for one of their Halfords Professional ratchet spanner sets which is currently half price and a set of new horns. After removing the horn bracket it looked like this:  And with the use of this:  a wire brush, and about 30 minutes, I brought it up looking like this:  A quick sand and a wipe down later it was ready to be sprayed. This gives me the chance to demonstrate the 'bungie' technique I described in my recent Strut Brace how-to.  Using this method i can spray the item (i hang it outside whilst spraying) then bring it back into the garage and leave it hanging to dry. As it is at the moment, with one coat of galvanising spray on it:
