Haha, sounds about right! Yes, Beany the Coon is very vocal but Freddie the moggy is just as bad!! I love my MC and she is still getting bigger at nearly 2 and a half

cripes sasha ! that's a ruddy lion lmao

Very similar to ours. They're big old beasties alright. I had to spend half an hour chopping lumps out of her last week, knotties everywhere in her undercarriage and tail! They're such damn mucky animals.

 

[Sasha94]

Yep, the grooming never stops, though my brothers girlfriend is an animal groomer so we send her there to be done most of the time with only the occasional brush and mat chopping session at home

looking very foxy in the new sig pic sasha , hope you don't mind me saying so ?

 

[Sasha94]

Compared to the picture of me with the cat?? I hope so haha, was all done for my anniversary. It's rare I get chance to spend time on myself, usually busy on one of the cars if I can prise myself away from the wife and child!

 

[bembo449]

oh yes , definately lol , always nice get togged up

That's a fine looking MC there Sasha. I had one until I met Rose - they're beautiful creatures and very good natured.

 

[Sasha94]

So it's been a few days, I'm very excited! I received these spy shots from Hide N Seat. Steering wheel is being done tomorrow. Honestly can't wait to get them back. Feel like I haven't driven the car in ages!!



Can't wait to have it all back

That looks great - like the perforated leather insert.

I went for a similar combination (perforated leather + hydrographics carbon) for my gear stick (sans gaiter).

Please, have ours!!! Disgusting smelly thing she is!

Ah, she's lovely really, but this morning was something else. Brown "track marks" in zigzags across the hall floor, SWMBO running around with a bucket of bleach and boiling water and me chasing the MC with a tub of talc! Gag- it was everywhere (not the talc either!)

I've gone for more perforated leather on the wheel and the silver stitching should match the seats very nicely. I'll have more teasers tomorrow all being well

should look fab Sasha

Sounds great. I have three pieces re-trimmed in either pure perforated leather (the gearstick) or a combination (the armrest and the steering wheel) and it looks very nice.

We call those marks "skidders" , it adds a nice word to a horrible incident . It's generally a problem that affects long haired cats .

Can't wait to see the whole ensemble Sasha!

More sneak images, the wheel is done!!



Should be back by Friday but not 100% on that yet. Can't wait, feels like ages since I last used the car even though it's only been a week!

Just stick a spanner on the steering column centre nut and drive it anyway (looks nice by the way )

Looks great. It's a completely different feeling with a newly re-trimmed steering wheel, well worth the wait.

 

[Sasha94]

The temptation to fashion some sort of handlebar arrangement to drive the car with in the interim has been immense!! I'm super excited to have the wheel and gearknob back in my hands. The new leather feeling is great
