And I still have a pair of lights I bought years ago hidden away in cardboard boxes in the most inaccessible part of the garage, just in case.
I did give the car another wash today and tried the Mr M*scle treatment on the wheels, it did improve them, but again not significantly. I followed this rather harsh treatment up with an application of Autoglym sealant but I think a professional refurb is the only way to go if I am serious about making them better but at £204 for the set it is a bit of a luxury. On the other hand I have had a set of Saab wheels done in the past and they did do a good job.
At the moment I am trying to decide what to do about my ZX which has spent the last few months sitting on my Mum's drive waiting to be used and feeling unloved I suspect. The need for it which I anticipated didn't develop, hence the lack of use. Being a three door 1.4 Reflex it is quite rare and it is quite good fun to drive, but there isn't much point keeping it if it doesn't get any use. I would quite like my son to take it on (then he wouldn't be wanting to use my normal runabout
) but he has no off-road parking and really can't afford to run a car. It needs a drive shaft replacing and an oil leak addressing - of the two I think the knocking drive shaft is the more pressing. I think I shall have to make a decision before I go down next week. While it's not normally eating anything sat on Mum's drive, the arrival of a tax renewal form this week has brought it to mind.Can you tell that I like to think in writing??
