Popular Post williamtherebel Posted September 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Had a drive up the Blackpool promenade as part of my 'shake down'. Also still looking for my oil leak! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 How are your polished wheels holding up @williamtherebel? Preparing mine for a cars and coffee event tomorrow morning. Which may be the last for quite some time unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamtherebel Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Their holding up really well. I havent really touched them yet since they were polished last year. (apart from cleaning off the usual road grime, brake dust etc) They still have their mirror finish. Lovely! However I havent done that much driving this year, what with redoing the dash, heater motors etc etc then Covid on top of everything. Im also fussy about taking it out in the wet. (although I did say that I wasnt going to let that bother me). Im trying to get as many miles on the clock as possible at the moment, and also trying to trace the oil leak. Its ok, trundling round town and short, not over speedy trips. Only happens when I put my foot down on the motorway say and at a constant 70. However I WILL find it! Posing up and down Blackpool promenade get loads of thumbs up and nice comments. Good job they can't see underneath! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
