Took the OSF wheel off to do something. By time it was off, forgotten what needed doing, so just put it back on  :-[

I don't feel well  :-[

Even I dont do that. ;D ;D ;D
Even now, 24hrs later, I still can't remember what I was planing on doing ;D

Sure the BBC tried to sensationalise that we'll all have Alzhiemers by 45.  I'm just advanced for my age ;D

Started to treat the rust blister under my o/s/r wheel arch. Sanded, treated with Kurust and ready for primer and paint/underseal in the morning :)

Whacked the N/S mirror parking between two pillars (barely 2" wider than the car) at work...

...probably should have been paying more attention to parking and less attention to the woman with the huge boobs & ass bending over changing her shoes three cars down...  :-[

Checked all levels and tyre pressures, and then had a lovely drive to the seaside and back (about 50 miles in total).

Made me realise what a truely fantastic car she is, and has made me even more keen to crack on with my planned modifications in readiness for the summer and the show season!!  :y

Having second thoughts about changing the suspension though, as I really don't want to lose the ride comfort.  I wonder what I shall end up doing with the Irmscher springs I bought...  :-\

doing my usual boringly reliable car weekly check ;D and as usual nothing needed doing,untill i checked the windscreen washers for aim, the drivers side had just a dribble appearing , strange i thought?
however closer inspection revealed the washer had actually slid down into the scuttle :o by about 4mm,
never seen this before  a quick push up from below clicked it back into position and all was well again,
but cant help wondering how it managed to sink down as they are clipped i think into position?
