Put a load of crap out of the garage into my car after finding a mouse best in the garage. Basically threw anything that could have a mouse in it. Unfortunately also found 3 dead baby mice. Humanly rehomed the adult nice we caught Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Last day in Ireland, heading off tonight for the long haul home, only 220 miles but obviously there's a 2.5hr ferry crossing first. Aiming to be home early hours[emoji17]. Still at least the roads will be empty. Lie in tomorrow. Taxed car last Friday, got email last night saying i'd got bank details wrong and that now car wasn't taxed, not helpful as in Ireland. Several calls later managed to convince someone at DVLA that I could pay direct over the phone. Means I can drive home without fear of a fine, would have had to drive whether taxed or not but pretty sure they've got ANPR systems on the A55. Lucky escape in the end [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I generally look at about 2mm to replace with the law obviously being 1.6, can't really judge much lower than that, you should be ok of a couple of months yet unless you scrub the tyres a lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a !Removed!, all that risk and all to gain 1 car length before he turned off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I think the overtaking car just hadn't got enough oomph and I was probably going faster than he expected. He also thought id move out of the way, I work on the shipping approach of "might is right". I like the way he even signalled as he cut the other car up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Left mine at home and used train to London, got it filthy driving to Hull. Always seems to get really dirty driving there and back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

well I drove 300 miles today and inevitably encountered my nob for the day. he took so long to overtake it was untrue. I did what I usually do under these circumstances, maintain speed and heading :D . . . . . . . breath in! Also nearly witnessed the demise of this van due to an errant lorry.

Well we know what you watch late at night now [emoji3] But yes, a lot of karchers will suck water up because most have a internal pump. Just check online you'll see which or the karcher website. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Subaru XV D SE Picked up today (21-12-13)
Long term forecast suggests above average snowfall and lower temps than average, that is of course if you believe them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like it's just lacquer coat. Good scrub clean and dry, use a fairly coarse polishing paste, and then a finer compound. A think wax like a carnauba and if you want to finish off a lighter wax to put the shine on. That's what I'd try first. Just don't go crackers with the coarse paste.

Not to easy to see what that is from the photo, you could try a coloured tcut these tend to hide it a bit. Other than that of its just in the lacquer coat than a polishing compound should clear it, just don't go mad and take the lacquer cost off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi from The Clay Cloth Company
Detailing is claying the car down, removing contaminants fully back to top paint layer, may even include sanding the paint to smooth it out. Then various grades of polishing, sealants and waxes. It's a bit more than "fancy washing" it'll take a whole day more to it properly. Using a clay bar is basic detailing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi from The Clay Cloth Company
If I'm being honest, I'm not sure having used them that they are quite as good as a clay bar for a full detail. However as you would only clay bar a car once every 6months, I think these cloths are great for those in between washes where you want a really nice shine. They're much quicker to use so there is a very slight trade off but much less than I expected. I think I'll still clay once a year rather than my usual twice a year because the clay cloth will become part of my normal wash and wax routine and greatly reduce contaminant buildup and as such the need to clay with a bar. These are just my thoughts, others a little less anoraky may say that the cloth is everything they need. Some will never touch it because they're more anoraky about detailing than I am.

Here's my nob of the week. you need the sound on for the full effect of the motorcycle, sorry about the horse but I was less than chuffed by his undertaking ;) Typical young motorcyclist unfortunately. undertakes me on the left turn only lane, cuts me up and then goes straight on. weaves side to side around the roundabout presumably to put some heat into his tyres ready for when he opens up on the dual carriageway. we get onto the dual carriageway and in typical style he opens the taps to leave us all standing, there was just one little detail he overlooked . . . . . . Yep, if you going to ride like your riding a super bike, make sure it IS a super bike so the car your trying to overtaking and the diesel 4x4 your trying to leave behind don't just drive off and leave you looking like a loser! This guy did everything wrong, especially braking as he leant the bike over to set up to leave the roundabout, he's just asking to come off. "Think Bike" . . . . in this case I think its "Biker Think" I reckon this is an 8 out of 10 for nobbiness
