What have YOU done to your 986 today ?

Paintless dent removal guy had a go on the 986. A whole £20 later and the tiny ding is gone!

Then went for a drive with the change pumped into the fuel tank around the Somerset B-roads. 

Then I washed and polished it before putting on it's indoor cover in the garage.

Stopped outside a mid-renovated house, one I nearly went in on buying last year. Which if it wasn't such a wreck I would have! It's like a god damn castle.

Wheels cleaned and tyres treated

I also picked up the Mustang (in laws) after a 2 day paint correction and ceramic sealant application. We told Ford not to prep-polish it, but they didn't listen, so it's now spot on thanks to Owain @ Mad About Detailing. Roof is also proofed too with G tecnic.

Got the code reader on it yesterday, P2098. Turned it off. Think my nearside cat is dying. Not feeling the boxster love much lately. :guiltysmiley:

You will next weekend :thumbsup_anim:

This is the first time it's come on for me. I know it is 02 sensor related most of the time, but my n/s cat has developed a death rattle ?

I'm trying this FM transmitter out whilst I'm waiting for my radio removal keys to come through the post.

It's got a car finder, which means it's always on.  I'm suspicious of this, I think it's going to drain the battery.  It's going to be returned back to Amazon ultimately and I'm going to be using an iPod Cable hooked up to back of the CDR-22.

If you wanted to pop over to Bracknell, I have the hifi keys you could borrow

That's real kind of you Patt, also gives me an excuse to stretch the legs.  I will PM you.

Gave it a quick wash ready for Beaulieu but as we are going down Friday chances are it will be a bit mucky come the day. Wondered what reaction I would get if

I painted the calipers pink!

I've ordered a few bits online that hopefully mr postman has delivered today (a few packages for me to arrive home to tomorrow as working away tonight).

All will be obvious at Beaulieu.

Is it some of these exhaust pipes?  That will be quite obvious! :shutup:

I can only do my best. It's gone off today to have it's wheels done as I would be too embarrassed to take it with the state they were in. I hope to god they'll be ready in time, the guy assured me they would on the phone, but now he didn't sound so convincing!!!! :o:o

I can't believe you have done that for Beaulieu!  You are taking this seriously :shutup:

What if they are not ready, you might have to come with it on four space savers if you can borrow some...
