Conspiracy theory - the government are controlling the forecast to discourage people from going to the beach...? Really? Here it has actually got a bit better!!

I also went and used this touch up paint to cover the stone chips on the front. Wasn't bothered covering all of them but focused on the ones which you can spot from a normal distance. There was a scrap mark which I covered up and its hard to see it from a glimpse now That's what I'm doing tomorrow (on my Birthday) Off to get some shopping for Mum and Auntie then spending the day on the car, Got my touch up paint for chips and hopefully can polish out some scuffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimST2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Not sure whether to post this in 'Things I do like' or 'Things I don't like'... Virtual car meet on Facebook tomorrow, so needed to take a photo today to 'bring along'. As its virtual I thought I'd bring both of my cars 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just spoke to my son and he told me he is making medical parts for Mercedes's F1, land rover, and Harley Davidson at the engineering works he started as apprentice a few months ago. That must be for the ventilators there making. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimST2 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Finished off cleaning the ST this morning with a full interior clean. Even put leather care balm on the seats Next weekend I'll do Mrs. TimST2's Mercedes GLC, although that's a big car so it going to be a bit of a slog 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken me all week as I get bored easily. Still, got nothing else to do except a bit of gardening. Leather seats smell nice with leather care balm. This week coming I will be doing the fiesta in and out. That will take some cleaning as I tend to just give it a wash once every few months. Then week after it will be Peter the Peugeot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I bought some Lynx Collision shower gel when it was on offer...new scent apparently. Tried it today and thought it smelt like the Mk2.5 Focus!! 😮 Read the small print and it's meant to smell of leather & cookies....I can't get the cookies but the leather definitely comes across! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not sure if any of you will even be remotely interested in this but it was linked on a local retro car page on Facebook and I've just spent a good 10 minutes watching it! Nothing happens, it's just pretty cool seeing all the 'old' cars and how the roads/shops have changed in the last 20 years! Also note how the standard of driving is pretty similar...poor lane discipline, not indicating, rolling back on hills, etc! Oh, and check out that graphic equalizer! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I love about this country. Everything seems to look the same and maintain that history. Only way you know something is old is by looking at the cars that are about and the video quality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @TimST2 do you want my spare set of red gel overlays for the front air vents on the ST? I ended up with two sets from a Secret Santa gift but only just got round to putting them on my car yesterday . **Edit** Oooh, just remembered I also got a 'Rottweiler on board' internal sticker as well. Will put that on in a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the red rings that go around the vents in the dash? I won't if that's okay. I'm keeping mine original (apart from the aerial of course). I personally like the standard (with Style Pack) styling a lot. The only thing I do think would look good is a Mountune badge on the back. I keep finding myself revisiting the idea of getting the MP215 kit fitted... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @RAIDER32 forgot to say happy birthday to you 😊. Do send some before and after pictures if you can of the touch up. Here was a before shot of that mark I had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too fond of chrome, and although they are one of the few pieces of chrome in the car (the only? forgot about door handles), I'm happier now that it's covered. The vents aren't exactly something you stare at all day so it's taken me 5 years to cover them . As for the MP215, I get the annual temptation when the Mountune offers come up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to get my assessments out the way and do something at home to occupy myself. I'm ruminating very badly and feel so miserable I saw you post something similar to this before and I genuinely tried to think of suggestions to post but couldn't think of much; If atall possible pass time by calculating future savings plans or if you keep files take time to sort them out and dispose of anything not required; tidy up loose cables if there are any. Perhaps install an aftermarket headunit in the car as then you could pass more time fitting a reverse camera or tv tuner, lol I could use a hand Monday- Saturday on a few chemical processes but your too far away, Even go through your computer and minimize data storage. I'm working six days in work manufacturing pharmaceuticals and working on a blue belt six sigma project in my spare time which is set to save atleast ten hours on a cleaning process making that time available for production. I have a phone in the attic which I intend on wiring in when I get time, Have you any spare sheets of mdf and a jig saw? It's the right time of year to make a bird house or a little cottage using some ply wood and a jig saw 🤷♂️ Or even a lollipop stick ice-cream shop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
