We were in the Peak District this morning after a nice week away when the wife said she wanted a hard and fast ride ....anyway , 4 hours of heavy traffic (roof down) later we were back home . I'm not sure that's what she meant but we are now back in sunny Essex o_O

Well, just picked the 211 up from Welwyn Merx. Phil and his crew have done a superb job as usual, drives as sweet as a nut!

just PM me Craig, you're more than welcome and if you can escape for a night I'll gladly buy you a beer ( or three)

Not if I buy yours first ;)

I'm picking it up in the morning, i dropped it off yesterday so didn't see your car. Phil has a number of cars in various states of repair lying around.

Gave it a wash just in time for the thunder showers tomorrow :(

Polished out a bird poo mark on the drivers door.

Booked it in for a four wheel alignment at Pro - Grip next Thursday.

Ordered some Chip-ex.

Cleaned and reproofed the Clk roof ...managed to just get the car cover over the new proofer as the heavens opened . Then changed the air filter which was last done 10k and 2 years ago and was a right old state . Then changed the 4 spark plugs which were last done 4 years and 20k ago , the first plug had a mixture of oil and water swimming around it (from someone missing the oil cap on fill up ?) the second a little oil around it , the third was clean and the fourth clean but felt well tight so I used some release spray and waited 10 mins , car now running nicely .

well that bit is craig :p

It's all- over silky smooth now me ol mucker. I put my hand on the wing when standing up and it just skidded straight off!

Luckily I didn't need to cut the paint back, so that's had a full cost of the Meguiars carnauba wax in the maroon bottle, after a Gold Class wash and a Bilt Hamber claying.

We are gasping for breath when it is mid 20's here in the UK Arzaam, couldn't cope with that kind of temperature, I think I would be sitting in the car with the air con on too !!. :rolleyes:
