Red on Green is the Greg house style and boy is it working. I need to see it the flesh again, been so many changes since I saw it last.

Yet he is not welsh!

But yes, some red highlights do véry well on green. Being opposing colours the red makes the green greener and vv.

Free Tomoz, but Sabine is filthy, I would be embarrassed parking within 50m of the Goddess.

@Ardent

Hi Jase,

Are you likely to get a free weekday at anytime?

I will also let you know when I am free so we can hopefully sort something.

There is potential mon or tues.
Just not sure if D has anything planned for me.

A period of dry weather has seen the GG out and about during the last few days.

Noticed the new engine cover sans carbon spoiler has now started to stick. Any ideas, other than the obvious use of a bit of WD40?

@Petrus  I believe you are having this little issue as well, have you solved it?

Yes; WD40 and turning the rubber stops out just enough for it to pop.

As per suggestion of Joesson btw.

Some more dry weather so a little "top down" jaunt today.

Still dry so will use the GG for our cinema trip this evening, off to see 1917.... and then a quality Indian meal  :)

Goddess out for the cinema trip yesterday. Dry but very cold, down to zero on the run home.

Read lots on here about the Yoko AD008's and cold temps, but didn't really notice any difference in grip. As it was so cold I am sure I was maybe a little more careful than usual but feel you would have to really explore the limits to get into trouble.

More concerning was the gritting lorries, fortunately the two I saw were not oncoming so the bonnet was saved from a splattering.

Dry morning here, max temp going to be 6c in mid afternoon so might explore the grip levels a bit more later.

Interested in others opinions about this.

With correct alinement, same branded tyres all round and you're driving to the conditions you will be fine in a 2.

People generally don't have the above and run out of talent

Formally once known as "greeny" has the above as does my current car and it's very planted in all conditions :)

Haven't done much to the GG lately so decided to take the wheels off and give them a good clean and polish. Well she has been out in this damp weather a few times  :)

So that was most of the afternoon gone. Can't wait for some better weather  8)

@s12vea

Hi Steve,

What would you have used?

When I had them painted, John the owner of Wheelcraft recommends just a top grade polish with very soft tissue paper. He is dead against any form of lacquer as a slight chip will then retain water underneath and its all downhill from there.

Interested what people's opinions are?
