Oil & filter change on the Omega. GM 10/40 semi and genuine filter, just as it should be.
Checked torque on Cam covers, and fitted a new set of GM quad plugs.
Plug wells dry as a bone, which is nice to see when the coil packs are pulled out.
Was going to check ATF & diff oil levels but was too knackered, so hope to do that tomorrow.

just filled the ML ..... it already had just under half a tank but it still cost me £94 

I know it could be worse though .... I was watching a Youtube video yesterday, they had a massive Ford F-something that had a 68 gallon fuel tank. That's 257 litres @ about £1.80 per litre so would cost £470-odd to fill in the UK!!!!!!!!!!!

68 gallons.     Wow, that's a bath tub, not a fuel tank.

That's hella expensive! Also interesting that it's the price reversal of the UK. Whereabouts in euroland are you?

Spain today, 1 euro 39 Petrol and 1.60 diesel . Diesel has been more due to supply issues since the American war.

Santorini.  Looks like petrol prices are rising here quite quickly.

Dropped the shitbox Panda off. Will be nice to get in a car with more that 5hp and that doesn’t rattle constantly

Sadly, a modern 1.2 Panda is not something even an Italian would desire

Was a passenger in it as far as just north of Warwick to catch the Chiltern Slug into Brum.  Lovely and cool.  Unlike the crap train that Chiltern cattle you into.

Well, that was her car.  Mine has done precisely 10yrds in the 2 weeks since it went to Croydon

I’ve been trying to get my wife to drive more, as I don’t want her to lose her independence if something should happen to me. She has her own car but I usually end up driving it. Just when I’ve persuaded her to drive us somewhere, she encounters a bad day at Graven Hill Roundabout and it puts her off again. I tried telling her that everyone has a bad day at that roundabout but it still unnerves her.

Is that the one at Langford in Bicester, that they decided to put stupid traffic lights on?

Yes, the one as you enter Bicester on the A41 from Aylesbury direction.    Funny you mention the traffic lights, as a few weeks back the traffic lights failed completely on all junctions. As drivers treated the roundabout as a normal roundabout without lights, it ran as sweet as a nut. I was gutted when they fixed them.
