Gave a few panels a quick machine polish and re-waxed the car ready for its 3000mile road trip starting next Saturday.

This is a bug that cannot be cured :evil: Good job on the roof!
I get the feeling you could be right!

Gave it a proper clean inside and out today. Used to think the silver was the best colour, but I couldn't find one I liked. This is definitely growing on me though! Just need to wrap and refresh the interior now and put an aux in.

Lovely reflection Gaz I wanted a black roadster on 108s and cream leather but maintaining the black bodywork and cream leather would have put me on a shrinks couch glad I went for Silver/black combo.

Quick wash and a drive out. It Handles so well now, just a shame that it rattles so much and this strange knocking noise is annoying me. Need to investigate where it's coming from.
