I don’t think I realised you have a Yeti too. Which version? I miss ours.

'14 1.2 DSG Elegance. It's my father's auto but I end up driving them about in it a fair bit.

Suzuki dealer obviously forgot to reset the service indicator when it went in a few weeks ago as it popped up on the dash yesterday. Owners' manual says easy enough to do yourself, but a bit annoying.

In the end I went fairly conservative but still fairly unique
unique in their own way. First set fitted this afternoon.
That looks great.

Is it allowed out in the rain yet? ;)

Had a nice drive north to pick up some stuff from Screwfix and also found somewhere selling Super Unleaded as well as an unlocked gate to a wind farm. Was short of daylight but will definitely visit again.

We had a decent dump of snow last night but was short of time so found one stretch of narrow, unploughed or gritted road. The all-terrain tyres are very impressive in the snow. Made it down and back up the hill to the house with no issues at all. Definitely need to find somewhere wider to have a play in the snow - not quite the same as a large open space driving someone else's car.

Ironing board back wing is handy on the lunch run when you're short a pair of hands.

I assume there's no point running the annual car purchase of the year thread this year? Mike's already won it (first with the Targa, then ousting himself from the top spot with the Dakar :lol: )

Mike wins definitely. With Duncs winning best modded car.

I think I've had a couple of nomination years already, I can't keep dragging it out with minor updates. :lol:
