    so the car goes to the Toyota dealership tomorrow afternoon to be part-ex'd in for a 5 door diesel Auris. The wife decided she needed to have one last round of "pot-holing" before we traded the clio in and split the continental that has only seen 500 ish miles... running round like mad this...

    powder coated wheels

    As soon as i got my powder coated wheels back i applied a couple layers of collinite 476. I dont use harsh acid based cleaners when i wash the car as the acid will attack the powder coat clear lacquer over time. I use bilberry (acid free cleaner) diluted 1:10 to soak the wheels for 5 mins then...

    Drove a Corsa VXR

    I had a go in my father in laws corsa vxr yesterday. Seat was uncomfortable, dashboard looks massive, ride was firm but not as firm as clio cup chassis. Engine was quieter too. Interior bit nicer than clio's. Clio much better IMO just because its more focused on performance and driving feel...

    +1 on the above route. Me and the mrs take holidays in cornwall often and get fish and chips from pendeen, sit by the lighthouse for a bit then take that coastal route back to St Ive's. Lovely bit of road. especially just as the sun is setting over the sea.
