Waiting for Autoglass to return to remedy the rubbish job they did when fitting a new windscreen a couple of weeks back

Absolutely nothing today. Its enough to blow you bald in Dudley. Had to retrieve the bin from up a tree when i let the cats out at 7:00

Checked to make sure the Cover was still there - it was....

Today nothing, last week engine mount replaced, EGR cleaned, plenum rodded (although nice and dry) oil and filter, air filter pollen filter all changed, brakes cleaned, drivers door realigned so it shuts properly, sun visor fixed crank pulley replaced plus belts.

Was going to hoover and wash today but weather has convinced me to have a day in the warm

I fitted a Synergy and its made a big difference

Its eventually stopped raining at 3:00.........

Last night my Son called, his train was late and he had missed his connection, so I drove 25 miles to get him.

It was an awful night, sleet and wipers on full speed, with standing water on the motorway.

VERY impressed with the Nokian D3 winter tyres in these conditions, the 75 sat rock solid and I was able to comfortably pass cars which were clearly very 'nervous' in the conditions.

Picked up a very cold and wet Son, and, if anything, the return journey was wetter, again the 75 was great.

There had been a crash where an RX8 had spun and hit the central barrier, it looks as if rear wheel drive and go kart tyres were maybe less than ideal, fortunately only the car was hurt.

It was basically the same journey I had made in the Mercedes C220 the day before, and even though it was dark, wet, and with much worse road conditions, I felt better coming out of the 75 compared with the Merc.

I've been professing the superb handling properties of Nokian Tyres on here for ages, not that anybody has noticed, I've fitted them on a few cars I've had and always been impressed, plus they don't cost the earth!

I was out with the family so the ZT stayed at home. I spent most of the day fantasising about doing a bit of 'enthusiastic driving' on some country lanes. Tomorrow I need to rod the plenum drains, replace as few bulbs and go and get her cleaned and hoovered.

Yesterday filled up with petrol and added Redex treatment ;p, then he'd pleasant run south to see Mike Noc to collect my Highline satnav. Looking forward to installation and getting to grips with it.
