I've spent a good half hour with a nail brush and white spirit mixed with washing up liquid and sugar scrubbing them.

They're in the dhoby as we speak, typically I only put them on earlier as I was soaked frabbling on with someone else's problems during a thunderstorm.

What a waste of a day, and to think I could have been doing something nice instead

.. it happens, I have had plenty of them myself. IPA works on removing it too, I used that many a time after getting gutter sealant on my hands and clothes.

And the build data doesn't support it being a factory duotone car, nor the paint code on the VIN

What I didn't do today was badly scrape the N/S lower bumper on a rock hidden behind some greenery on a narrow country road.

That was Tuesday

I didn't make my V3 back into a V6 because the plugs and leads haven't arrived yet.

I didn't take the ZT out for a spin today, as I had to take the TF instead.

Today I didn't do my first oil change. Bought a jack pad, jack and axle stands, oil filter, wheel chocks, the lot.

Put the jack under the car and... The jack was too high and wouldn't go under the car. I've bought some ramps instead, hopefully then I can do the oil change.
