And then tightened my steering box up for another drive to Dublin Airport. Really need to get myself a nice daily car for general running about in. As much as the Shogun is comfy, its like piloting the Titanic down the M1!

Dirt still on it from the last off-roading day lol, last February I think

Did it help the shogun any?

The P38 might be heading down there too next week.

Where do you park? Will try and park beside you lol

@gav525 i don't think you have noticed but you have flooded the field behind the Merc.


I did think about cleaning both cars today but I'm currently in the middle of project drive way so I just shut the blinds and went back to watching TV lol.

Gave it a well deserved wash, Interior hoovered and wiped down. Stuck the number plate back on properly as it had came loose at one side and finally fitted some nice nice Bosch wiper blades.

Started it, let it run for 10 mins & took it to the Petrol station for £15. Should keep it ticking over for another 2-3 weekends

It actually did help it! I overtightened it though so now the wheel doesn't return to center naturally. I'll back it off half a turn when I get home which will sort it. Definitely took the play out of the wheel though!

I park in the T2 surface car park, though I'm home again tomorrow so you'll maybe not see the Shogun lol. It's a handy car park for both terminals and at the minute I'm parked next to a C63 and snarly opposite a Hummer, so the old Shogun is in good company lol. Think it's €40 for the two days.

Just popping into the office to show face, first I've been at work since 19th December lol. Kuwait next week though, which should mean I'm home for the off-roading day

Sounds like you have an interesting job.

Oil and gas, it's definitely interesting but it's not for everyone. Best move I ever made though, can't see me wanting to go back to sitting rush hour M1 traffic every day anytime soon lol

Fitted the new abs pump and using my icarsoft Mercedes diagnostic tool managed to clear the Bastid esp light. Finally project Vidal baboon just needs tidied up and ready for some top down manliness.

That's stunning Pete and a very big health to drive for her. You both deserve it after the year you both have had.

Shouldn't this be in the "today I bought" thread. Sort it out Pete.

You're wife has great taste! Had a nosy at the ad for that, looks great.

Its still my ambition to fall into your line of work (rotation wise I mean) but it's not easy getting the permanent start as you know.
