Your fleet running reports

^ That looks very much like the right car for the job

I'm not that jealous of the roads. Honestly

Yeah, the car was a riot on them roads

I rate the roads around Scotland as the best I've driven, but the above route is up there with the best....

Well I’ve got the 6 series back and with that my month of ruinously expensive vehicle expenditure should be over.
Work done -

The mechanic mentioned how it felt very lively for a 645 and I said it was remapped - good to get confirmation that it’s actually doing something since it was remapped back when I was a mere kid being taken to junior school in it so I sure as hell can’t notice it

That didn't strike anyone else as a strange use of words? I would expect dad to make you draw from the trust fund for whimsical land rover upgrades, but his 6er?

I noticed that as well - as Sales ever actually earned any money? I then realised I didn't care enough to pursue the subject.

I’m still riding on that crypto currency high

[mik]

You bought MockDiamonds when they were still worthless?

[JLv3.0]

Same as any other cryptocurrency then - although they've all gone up overnight so as ever, let's see. Still very much in its infancy!

Mini made it to France and back with no dramas - carried some nice wine too which was a welcomed thank you.

I've yet to fit the JB+ box to make it faster than a slug.

The Saab goes in for it's MOT today and I am wishing I had got off my bum and fitted the discs and pads I have for the front! Ah well, i will take the lad to see Ant Man rather than fret!

Does anyone here use Apple CarPlay? I can remember something about using Waze on it on the old forum but not sure how? Seems like ios12 will allow it natively but is there a workaround until that is launched?

[Gavin]

passed MOT with no work needing done. Have not looked at advisories yet though....

I’ve used ios12 for the last couple of months; no issues on iPhone X or iPad (air 2 and latest). Dunno if the Waze thing is available on the beta though..

[integrale_evo]

iOS 12 is supposed to allow it but not until the app is updated to suit it so doesn't work at the moment.

Megane has two keys again thanks to a chap on eBay and a local auto locksmith (though I tried about 6 different ones before this guy came out, and handily he was very efficient). £110 all in, vs £250+ from a dealer.

I've also been given the ok for running the remap with the cat back on, as it's a Stage 1 map. Their words but sounds fair enough. Interesting that they described the map as having launch control. I have asked for more info.

I’ll ask scotty about that for you tomorrow if you like.

Can do, yeah. Thanks. I’m still in touch with him and I did ask him about the remap. He didn’t have any details but did remind me I had a printout which showed it was a Stage 1. Scott never mentioned launch control to me, just lots of pops, which are now greatly diminished with the cat back on.

Say hi from me anyway.

Windows squeak a bit on the 330. Banged some silicon lube on the rubber seals which helped a bit, but it's still quite annoyingly squeaky.

Suppose I'll have a closer look at the weekend when I can be arsed.

Current town driving MPG - about 17. I think I'll start walking to work again soon

[Jobbo]

Beany - Gummi Pflege. The only thing to use on convertible seals.

[Beany]

I saw that referenced, I just sprayed some silicon lube on a cloth and wiped it along the rubber window seals and on the outside of the rear quarterglass frames, which made a difference.

There are a few guides out there on fully reconditioning the window seals and the fuzzy bits so again, job for the weekend.
