I was papped onto Facebook whilst at the tyre place (the BMW was getting the same tyres fitted!)

460 mile round trip to Killin Highland Games, Scotland. Managed around 39mpg, also managed to pick up a screw on a rear tyre on the way there o_O. Added a bit of air at some services and ½ tin of tyreweld when I got to the games (with a quick spin around the street to spread it inside) and it...

Car was dusty and before tomorrows extreme day trip to the middle of Scotland * , though I'd better clean it up. Decided to re-visit this stuff It was a freebie a number of years ago at JapFest (RRP £30-£45) and as long as you realise it doesn't foam up (so ideal to use on a mildly dusty...

Where abouts is the show in St. Andrews? We were there on Saturday in the big field in front of the Old Course Hotel (she won the games BTW :) ). First time we'd been and it's a lovely place . . .

A day with nothing planned so I headed for the twisty bits - towards Richmond (North Yorks!). Found a great bit of road out near Reeth and then headed into Arkengarthensartendale and eventually ended up here and the coffee machine was broken so had to make do with ½ of beer. Cracking run out...

Driving to Northallerton today, spotted another on the High Street, walking back that way after parking, I noticed the drivers window was down with someone in the seat, so I stopped for a chat. Although he realised that he was fortunate to own one, he was under the impression that he could...

I did arrive a bit early - all the fields were empty when I got there

Went to a 'Motorbike Hillclimb' over in Wensleydale (45 mins). It proved to be very popular and apparently went on well after 10pm Spot the GR (given a massive clue). The front spoiler and side skirts will be nicely polished now as the grass on the way in wasn't exactly short. On the subject...

Get you and the special treatment - had to make do with the grass last year!

Weather started off overcast, fixed a problem with Starlink and by the time I'd filled buckets etc. the sun had started to come out. Panel at a time before rinsing - luckily we have very soft water here so water spots are not a real problem. Tried a new Turtle Wax product I got sent but no...

I'm hoping tomorrow will be warm but overcast as my car is in need of a good clean and maybe a coat of Soft99 paste wax

Spotted a clean white GR86 when we were heading south towards Lillehammer yesterday (13 July). Unfortunately we were in a Volvo EV hire car. Car looked fresh anyway

Let me know when you find somewhere to mount the Fire Safety stick - mine is currently down the side of the passenger seat, but it comes with a little clip-in mount

Thunder & Lightning (very very frightning, Galileo, Galileo etc) and the rain then stopped, so after waiting all week I set and washed the car. Bee poo, bird poo, various bits of detritus all cleaned off. Sun blazing again now before I finished . . . happy to give it a final bit of wax after the...

Strange selling price £30,039 . . .

Compared to the average surface in the UK, I've found most German roads to be like a billiard table :giggle:

Quite a bit of scare mongering there. It's not THAT hard on the car. My GT86 was still on the original tyres and brakes (inc. pads) after three years commuting, two track days and a few laps of the 'ring. I agree it's not like it used to be when I first went about 15 years ago. Like I suggested...

If you don't end up on track, then some of the local roads around there are excellent. The L92 between Nurburg and Adenau is one. Of course, it's Germany, the road surface is very good.

I've done about 7-8 trips to the ring, but not YET taken the GR86. I did a trip with the GT86 (and Seat Ibiza, MX-5, Alfa Mito QV, Saab 9-5, Volvo Polestar and Alfa Romeo Stelvio) and they were all great. Always drive 8/10, keep your eyes on the rear view mirror. For a first time I would try and...

Well I'm in Hurworth . . .
