Gave her a wee rub down with Meguirs NXT Speed Detailer when I got to work as she had earned herself some new bugs on the bumper. It was a quieter road this morning than usual because it was 06:15 as opposed to 07:45 :)

Checked the coils, which after 18,000 have decided to present me with a whacking white spot :evil: and signs of potential future spots.......

Not a happy chappy considering they appear to be uprated coils

Took it to Comet to buy a new phone this afternoon. Would have visited the nice Albanians to have it washed this afternoon, but it was raining hard, so I didn't. Had a 'nice' :wink: drive to Cobham for the Surrey meet this evening.

I took REXY off roading today. Amazingly it has better ground clearance than a Rover 75!
