Great finish. Hope all is OK or at least works out OK.

Thank you, funeral of a close friend on Thursday (43) and one of my other close friends (42) passed away on Wednesday. A very sad week.

Today I changed my spark plugs, after recent rough firing and one “cylinder 6 misfire”. First time I’ve done spark plugs so was a bit apprehensive, but it was very easy indeed.

I also sorted my hard top, which was making a noise over 40mph. The allen bolt was rounded so couldn’t do much, but tried a suitably sized Torx, and it turned easily. It looks like it wasn’t fully tightened.

Went for a test drive, and engine sweet and no roof noise!

To be fair the contents are likely to be a little out of date now!

For the third time this year, someone drove into my car in a car park! So f'ing annoyed

Difference is this time I was sat in the car and it's the first time I had it happen since I fitted my dashcam. He clipped the passenger-side front as he drove into the space next to me too quickly and didn't judge the size of his car right (it was a Saab 9-5 - they have very long front overhangs). Corner is scratched up and I think he broke the clips in behind holding the front wing and bumper together. Only saving grace is I was already looking to get a front-end respray done soon... plus it was only scratches, the worst will buff out. He was really apologetic, but still it was such a bullshit move to try and swing that thing into the space that fast.

Feels like I'm doomed with this car; I love it but more and more I'm looking at replacing it for something else once I relocate back up to Scotland. It's cat S from the initial hit over a year ago, then the 3 subsequent hits have really taken their toll on the front bumper and wings. Fear is if I get a respray, the same thing is just going to happen again
