Re: What have you done today thread?
Finished a night, nice ride home on emptyish roads before the mayday madness, loving the AR exhaust, especially at flashing orange tacho in 6th. I’ve now got 7 days off, slept a bit and just pottering around the house waking up.

Just gearing up to hit the Sarf Dahns on the mountain bike - and then we had a biblical downpour.
It's going to be a muddy two hours

Thank you,

Discovered that when you leave your petrol mower lent up in the garden store about 50 degrees off flat, next time you try to start it half the oil will shoot out the exhaust and you'll be mowing the garden in a blue haze for a short while.

1hr 45 mins in the end - slippy on the way up - but it appears the deluge was merely local, and Worthing was relatively un-slippery (other than the chalk)

Looked at my cars visual health report and found it needs wiper blades. AT least Land Rover's price includes fitting!

Pah, that's cheap. The wipers for my SL are over £100 even aftermarket, I hate to think how much they are from MB!

Re: What have you done today thread?
My car was 3 years old when I bought it and the OEM wipers were all falling to bits (great inspection JLR!), I replaced them with whatever I got cheapest in Halfords and five years later they are still fine.
I wouldn't choose JLR OEM wipers even if they were the same price.

Don't get much choice with the MB ones, they have the spray jets built into them and they're heated, MB only fitment!

Discovered my phone decided some time last week to inform me about missed called & voicemails. 7 of the 8 VM's were about tomorrows surgery & the other was the Kaw shop telling me my parts arrived.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Met some friends for the actual final coffee of winter this morning!
Then another mate drove me to Grenoble to see the anaesthetist for the leg op. Went in pretty nervous because I REALLY want a general anaesthetic and the surgeon said he normally does the op under a local (or spinal) - the thought of a local scares the bits outta me that it might not work and I might hear or feel any of the op!! Luckily, as we started talking about it I got quite stressed and she immediately said "it's fine, we'll do a general" !!!
Also got the notes of the op to put the plate into my leg scanned by the hospital and sent to the surgeon - so that he can make sure he has the right screwdriver to get the screws out! And sorted out getting there by taxi (sort of, I've sorted out that I can get a taxi, so that's good!). Just got to call up on the morning of the 25th to find out what time I have to arrive!!
Thought I was meeting the last few of the brits here at the last open bar this evening, but they all seem to have bailed!! So, an early night!!

Parted with £1,580, which the Gremlinette is going to reimburse me, in order for her to be insured to drive for another year.
