Your fleet running reports

[jamcg]

On the subject of squeaky windows, I’ve got a bit of one from my drivers side window, think it’s just a dry seal. What’s the stuff you guys have used to soften them up? Think I remember mik mentioning something?

[GG.]

Pretty sure it was GUMMIPFLEGE

I have no experience with it but the ridiculous name sticks in my mind.

[Beany]

Yup, that's the stuff. I've had some for a while but not got around to applying it yet, probably will once i get the window fixed. Apparently good for all rubbery seals to keep 'em supple and, er, sealing.

[mik]

As above.

I’ve also just used a (clear) silicone shoe shine pad for quick and easy issues (gummi lasts longer and conditions, but this provides immediate lube)

[Matty]

Gummipflege is the fucking best. Slather it on a couple of times a year and you'll be squeakless all year.

Note, it's not a requirement to ask for GUMMIPFLEGE at the top of your voice.

MX5 had its second service today. The Stourbridge Mazda dealer is really up there with more upmarket brands and really nice to deal with, which is great. Had a CX30 courtesy car again and again I was taken by just how straightforwardly good it seems to be at everything, including being quite fun to drive. Probably quite off the radar compared to Kia and Hyundai which are everywhere now, so worth a try if you're in the market for good value normal motoring.

The MX5 had a clean bill of health (the service reception said it was basically new so that was expected, but it is 2 years old now). Should probably still GUMMIPFLEGE the seals since I doubt they do that as a matter of course.

I ordered some “LIQUID MOLY GUMMI PFLEGE” from Amazon. Order received and they sent me “LIQUID MOLY rubber care”

Most disappointed. Hope it doesn’t work now just out of spite

Damn Germans using English, blame Brexit!

The M5 seems to have stopped drinking oil. Unlike the Ferrari that is positively pissing it out now to the extent I can see a trail down the road near here where the accumulation on the undertray spills out when braking then turning right.

I drove past there three times last week. There’s three clear trails.

The M5 seems solid now. No leaking and I’m using it regularly for the very important stuff.

I chose not to though. After SPANKING IT on THE TWISTIES on the way home to prove I’M A DRIVING GOD, I marinated my prawns. Not a euphemism.

[Mito Man]

Did you enjoy rubbing one out?

[Sundayjumper]

Seemed inappropriate tbh.

As I said though, I spanked it on the way home and then marinated my prawns once I got back.

And after that I soaked my noodle.
