Blasted over to Leiden from Vleuten for a cheeky pint and a pie with a mate at the North End pub.
difficult to refrain from having more than one pint but when ur in the motor of course one must be responsible and adhere to the laws of the land *taps side of nose*.
Couple of hours later and made my way back home the long way....via Amsterdam :lol:
Once back home I got around to coding back the 'dink' noise when locking the car as it's caught me out a few times - having to double check if the car was locked etc.
If it doesn't go 'dink' when i plip the centre keyfob button then obv that means that i didnt close boot/doors properly and I've been missing that.
Other than that - checked oil, still no top-up required after approx 2300 miles since replacing the CCV system. groovy.
deepcleaned the windscreen with wire wool and my supersecret mixture of demineralised water, washin up liquid and white vinegar. Then gave a coating of rain-X.
tried yet again to BT pair the phone with car without success. it connects, then just as quick, disconnects again as though taunting me. grrr. :x

Was going to clean it but.....
The day started clear in Norfolk; a cool 4 degrees C so we thought 'what the hell' and went for a run to the coast. Dropped the top for the first time since picking it up a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how hot you can keep the inside of the car even in this weather - didn't even put a coat on
- bit different from the 7 which has no heater at all and normally no side screens or roof.
So got a little more dirt on it from our rural roads
About a 100mile round trip and made it to within a few miles of home before the rain caught us and the top had to go back up. Oh yea - all clean now!!!

Finished the exterior detail.....Clay bar and Clay mitt, Machine polish using Farcela 6 then 10, polished and waxed using Maguires. Very happy with the result. 
, next job will be cleaning all the shut lines and nooks and crannies where the polish has got into. Following that it will be fitting the new discs and pads, then 19" CSL's when I get them.

That's a kick in the spuds Dantoo much scone & cream losing your concentration
Which roads are No2 & No1 ?
The 'clotted' cream must have clotted my brain!
1. A stretch of road between Holmes Chapel to Alderley Edge
2. B3515 from Cheddar to Ashwick

Pitlochry to Braemar through the Cairngorm,s probably my favourite 40 UK miles but its 300 miles away so i make do with the Ribble valley or Bowland fells much closer to home
. Maybe I should've read your sig. I keep forgetting they made more than the original 2003 models. :roll:mr wilks said:idej_jedi said:mr wilks said:That's a kick in the spuds Dan

What about Bewts-Y-Coed? Andy? thats got to be up on the list
I can vouch for Pitlochry to Braemar. We first did the west coast which was great, but this was just on another level.
Will need to get back there in Z4MC
