yep, driving with your fog lights on!!

the 'camera club' I'm in have set a project to do a selfie picture including something that your interested in (so for me I'll do my car in my selfie pic) so, off camera triggered flash on the centre console, camera on tripod with a HD filter to stop glare bounce back off windscreen Manual mode on camera nd manual focus too. aperture f:2.8 ISO100 shutter speed 1/100. Not easy as I had to do a 10sec shutter timer, to give me change to get in the car. the had to check to see if I was in focus. Even though I'd got the STi logo in focus on the seat, when I got in my head/face was a little bit in front of the focus point of the STi logo :( the last picture of the night nailed it and I came in lol slight miss focus on face but recovered by doing in B&W ;) the last shot, I was more than happy with... apart from the subject matter was no George Clooney... more Martin Clunes ;) without the muppet in the front seat... ;)

Can you see it ?? You can now, that’s what’s called a ring land failure and is due to detonation caused by poor quality fuel, eventually the broken bit rattles around, wearing the bore with debris until the engine is beyond repair, signs of this already show on the piston skirt. The images shown are a piston from a 2.5 STI hatch that the owner admitted to running on 95 and sometimes 97 octane fuel, food for thought ...... cheers kev

I had a spare thirty minutes ;) this afternoon so I spent it finishing off Da Polishing the rest of my car (I did the bonnet last night) with the Menz2400 and 4500, then applied the Angelwax DRIFT. Finished off the wrap roof with Autofinesse' Finale detail spray (as it contains no wax/silicone in it)

no, just pure white :)

going to do a bit at a time on the scoob with the Da Polisher. so tonight I started on just the bonnet. DA Daz6 Pro polisher and polished it with Menz 2400 cream using orange HEX pad, then used the 4500 with the black HEX, after both applications I polished off with micro fibre clothes. THEN.. I finished with applying my ANGLEWAX DRIFT wax that is designed for white cars :) I have to say, my body work is smooth anyway, but had the usual swirls. Now I have next to non on the bonnet.. just a few I can see close up on the plastic scoop. When I look across the wing and the bonnet, I do see lots on the un polished wing. So I'm well pleased. Bonnet took about an hour or so to DA, then another 30-40 mins to apply and buff off the DRIFT :) applying the drift... I buffed off with a micro fibre cloth, then went over it again with a micro fibre noodle mit :) great results, not that you can tell off a camera phone lol :(
