    Being an office worker for years and someone whose hands don’t sweat, mine have always stayed clean. I do get a bit like a new over protective parent when I take it into garages for work though. I drop hints, rather than tell them to keep their dirty hands off it, “whilst I’m here, you...

    Just PM me if you want advice when it arrives. Don’t pull the airbag off too much after releasing the clip to the wheel, the connecting wires are quite short and I image you could easily pull a wire out of one of the airbag plugs or damage the plugs themselves. Sent from my iPhone using...

    It feels fantastic to hold. As it’s one of the key contact points when driving, it really makes a huge difference to the driving experience. I know alcantara isn’t as hard wearing as leather, but when it wears, I’ll just get it recovered. The one on my Mini looked and felt as good as new after...

    That worries me every time I change a wheel, but never had one go off yet. They’re very easy to change Matt. Literally 20 minutes to get old off and put new on. Just remember to disconnect the battery about 15 minutes before you begin and do not connect battery until everything back together...

    Blimey Sean, that’s quite a strong response [emoji23] I decided to disable my usual iPad signature from this post just in case [emoji6]

    That is stunning, I’m a great fan of Citizen. They make some beautiful classic looking watches. I’ve had a couple of the Ray Mears monocoque Eco-Drives. I miss them and wish I hadn’t sold them.

    I’ll get them posted tomorrow. I’m blown away by how compliment they are whilst still controlling roll and dive. For a road car I’m of the opinion they’re perfect for me. Ride height wise, I don’t think there’s too much of a drop, but I’m not bothered about how it looks from the outside, I was...

    Got the projectors fitted a couple of days ago, a huge thanks to @l33th3tr33 for these. Brilliant condition and extremely well packaged. A gent of a seller. Still OEM, but just a better OEM than they were! Got the car back today, not as plain sailing as I’d hoped, but money and time spent...

    I drop it off tonight for the work to be done tomorrow and possibly Friday too if need be. Belts, pulleys, water pump and gearbox oil also being done too. I’ve got a 120 mile round trip in it at the weekend to take my mother out for her birthday, sadly it’s all motorway, but may get up early...
