No pics as it’s dull boring cr@p, but I attempted to adjust the handbrake on the E46 in last preparations for the impending MOT on Monday.

Weather permitting I’ll get the things a good clean using nothing but @Big Pimp ‘S stuff.

TT had a sticky rear caliper so changed it today. Never nice and simple lol, sheared the pipe undoing the union, knew it was going as soon as i started undoing it so just kept going.
Made new pipe, kinked it, made another new pipe, then realised Audi use 2 different sized unions at each end the awkward cnuts, so made a 3rd and final one for the craic. Hate brake lines!

Spent about 2grand the last week or so getting this back together for alltrack in Shackleton next Saturday. Need to get wheels and tyres sorted on Monday and out for a test.

Brushful of post office red and a new sticker on the front spoiler will help the look of it 🤣

Oil drained and sent away for analysis, just to make sure no bits of IMS bearing in there 😬😂 3rd degree burns while trying to get the sample when it was fresh and hot was great fun.
Sump coming off anyways for the baffled one to go on

I cant see it going anywhere buddy for a good while. The wife loves it and shes planning all these Ireland road trips over the next year to do in it.

Once we get into the new house im going to spend the Alfa money on something sporty again, however couldnt believe she actually said "you should hang on to the range rover for the daily duties etc" lol near dropped dead .... she never approves of my expenditure lol
