Collection day.

Car is looking good in daylight Grant.

I used to live in Sutton, so went to Croydon quite often as it was just up the road. My sister still lives in Sutton and every time I visit that part of the world it makes me glad I don't live there any more!

Can’t argue with that, it was chaos.

Driven in Croydon (College back in the late '70's), Paris and Naples but the very worst was trying to find a hotel up in the mountains when given a hire car and asked to follow tulip diagrams from the WRONG Athens airport ...

Kuh. Every day's a school day,

A quick picture now it’s a bit cleaner.
Will be fully detailed in the next week or so including the leather.
Then a refresh on the wheels.
The joys of being a perfectionist
Then ditch the run flats!

gave the wheels a good clean last night, prior to having them refreshed next Friday.
ordered new wheel caps and some silver calliper paint.dont really want to make a feature of callipers.
gave me a chance to look out for any cracks.

Exactly Busterboo!!!!
Tulip diagrams are fantastic so long as you start from the right place with odo set at o!
Not so good when start position is wrong. Found out within 100 yards (92 metres in new money!). CHAOS!!!

Thinking of having my wheels refurbs but don't have another set to use, is it a leave car and then pick up the car later service or do you need to take the wheels off the car and get tyres removed before taking them in? Sorry for naïve question but never bothered with previous cars

I take mine to a mate 200yds away, so he does them and then I go pick it up.
you don't need to remove wheels, but some will charge accordingly.

It just seems to be the inside rims that suffer with cracks, the outside seems immune.
