That is one fine looking vehicle Alex, the original velvet fist!

Thank you indeed! There is a slightly bodged repair on the passenger door near the door handle. It only shows up when it has been in direct sunlight and it shows up the scratches underneath the colour coat when its had a repair at some point, drives me up the wall!!! Not worth the colour mismatch issues to try and fix IMO.

Still, cleans up nicely :p

Ended up doing for a near two hour drive just to get little one off to sleep finally, 6 week fussyness combined with a growth spurt and then the heat today she was anything but happy and able to get herself to sleep. She did however fall asleep with 2 minutes of the wheels turning and didn’t make a peep till I pulled in the drive and brought her inside.
212 was as always a lovely place to be for that time, but did get surprised at one point by a new C300, quite a pace those things have.

Experience day by chance, can’t remember the name of the place but think they do all sorts there like rally driving, basic off roading in various forms and a decent track for super cars too

Finally finished changing the injectors, holders and all the rubber pipes that have turned to Bakelite.

New F8DC4 plugs gapped to 1mm, and she runs so smooth.

Next job is the final sort out of the parking brake, all new hardware including cables, fed up with worrying about it at MoT time.

VW Scirocco. The Quattro, E350 CDi Blue Efficiency Sport Coupe, now both gone
Got the car vacuumed inside and the boot done, touched in a couple of tiny stone chips too.

She's as close to immaculate as I can get her. :geek::geek::geek:

Well , 3 hours rolling around on the floor with all my garage tools spread around me , I have managed to get both front struts/springs off . Probably took an hour to get the car jacked up safely as the drive is a slight angle .
I think my plan will probably be get a garage to replace both springs and then I will refit the struts myself . Anyway I'm happy with what I've done so far . Refitting looks ok , I've taken loads of pics on an old iPad just in case I forget anything .

My car tripped gently past 54,000 miles yesterday, so I washed it again in the evening then got up early this morning to polish it. Dodo Juice Light Fantastic wax works so nicely on a light-coloured car.

Had to put the CL on charge unexpectedly for half an hour this morning. 4 days of non use and I suspect I have a dicky consumer not going to sleep properly...
