Well I just spent 45 minutes cleaning the car, it was a breeze after having the paintwork sealed during it's recent detailing by Peter from Eclipse Valeting 
The car is gleaming and so are the wheels

Good man Ty
- I have just spent about the same on mine - Can't tell if it's gleaming as I can't see sod all in the dark
Didn't look too bad when I was in Tesco filling up though
See you all in the morning

What a day i've had. Are you ready for this??
But hey!! Stroll on tomorrow.
- Worked 15hrs last night as one of the print lines packed in.
- Was supposed to seal and wax the car last night but too late.
- Had 3.5hrs off this morning to seal and wax, also clean bike ready for glyncorrwg tonight. Got car out of garage went to reverse up curb to put bike in and ripped the bumper clean off
- Tried to repair but failed so left it for tonight.
- Rammed bike in car and shot off to Morrisons to clean in car wash.
- Ran out of time so rushed to work.
- Went out on bike and the boys decided to do Skyline, luckelly some diversions were in place. But then as we go to the last descent they desided to do whites too
- Got back to my fathers and repaired bumper and mudflaps (cable ties rule)
- Now getting in.
But hey!! Stroll on tomorrow.

These are the benefits of having the car paintwork sealed Calvin
, it is a breeze to clean - you know me why spend 5 hours cleaning a car when 45 minutes will do. What a day i've had. Are you ready for this??

you know my thoughts on your problem. I saw Moose just before he went on the track
sorry to say it but you missed a cracking day and I even managed to get hold of a Subaru WRC heavy jacket reduced from £200 to £90 what a bargain.

Main bearings failed again during running in. The engine gave a little cough coming over the bridge and the knock reading shot up and CEL light came on, so i immediatly pulled over and it was evident the bearings had failed again. An hour of waiting on the bridge for mr AA only to find out my cover was only for recovery to a safe place ie Magor, where i was told it would be £100 to upgrade with the AA. So i phoned my other breakdown cover and had it recovered straight back to the garage again. Can't believe my luck, feel like sticking a for sale sign on it. Getting a bit fed up of this now.
I know how you feel, I felt like selling up after my engine went, but I'm so glad I didn't now!! Stick with it!! Can you use another garage and send the original one the bill??
