R230 SL500 - oh yeah!
Switched the auto wipers off earlier in the week due to frost and then today remembered that pressing the stalk in activates the wipers once! Had somehow forgotten that and had been switching the wipers on and off by turning the stalk just to wipe once.

Well it's a lovely day here and it has given me the opportunity to give the old girl it's final polish for the winter. Now off to lunch with my Wife and Granddaughter to a new Turkish Restaurant that has recently just opened at the bottom of the high street. :)

It may have been a mistake Blobcat, she commented on how lovely it was :shock: Maybe I could sell it to her :D
And whose folding would she use to purchase it...:rolleyes:

My 16”‘s are just over half the price of your 18”‘s...:rolleyes::D

Also is that a Triumph 2.5pi you’re transporting the wheels in?

Decided to ignore the small water leak in the boot until next weekend o_O ... although I did remove everything, including subwoofer, tool kit, the skinny thingy pretending to be a spare tyre and all trim. Bumper off next Saturday ... :(

Wheels back on the SLK, then I took it to work. :)
