Slip on cover things for the soft touch grab handles arrived - finally. They gave me a kit for a Euro car, however, so I have one that won't fit and one handle not covered. Annoying. Also, I managed to hit the tiny lever that makes the steering move for easy access on start up/shut down, and...

In a mildly irritating development, not one, but TWO of the AC vent-slider-thingies came loose today. Attempted to change the vent direction while sitting in traffic, to enjoy some heater action, and the things came away from the connector piece behind the horizontal blades. At least pulling...

"Hmm. Bit more choke, that would have started!!"

Does this count as a proof pic? Maybe this? The interloper meets my one true love. I've yet to get it out on the open highway, though I did take it for a run down the expressway a couple of weeks ago when I was running late. It's like a comfy sofa on wheels. Which, considering it also has...

Eventually I was able to coordinate to meet with Janar, a friend of his who was also interested in playing with the car, and another workmate on a Saturday to do some troubleshooting. 37 codes later, we confirmed that it was most likely the common injector problem. Cleared all codes, tried...

While waiting on Janar to be available with the laptop, I ordered some textured vinyl from eBay, and set about wrapping the bamboo trim. Sue me, I’ve never liked it in cars, and having watched a YouTube tutorial on replacing it, this was the easiest solution. Its not perfect, but it’s good...

Sadly, yes. Dad had a stroke in December, and uses a walking frame around the house or for short distances, but if he goes out anywhere, then he has a manual wheelchair. He's also not currently (and may not ever again be) allowed to drive. I was using the cheap Toyota Corolla hatchback he got...

So, as those on the Telegrams know, a few months ago I was looking for something a with a higher ride height than the XR6, and which could accomodate all of Dad's new mobility accessories, as well as 3 adults, comfortably. Rest assured, the XR6 is not going anywhere! Considered a Ford...

If only we all lived close enough to have a decent pool to work with.

So, it appears that next month's meet will once again fall during Ringmeet. The room will be open for whoever is around.

Meet is underway in the main room!

There is a new default setting to end calls if no one joins within a certain time frame. So I logged in, and opened the room early, but because no one joined until after the organised time, it closed everythng down.

Meet is on again this weekend!! I've played with settings, so it isn't going to kick me out if no one joins immediately, therefore the main room should work! I can celebrate the end of my mandatory Covid isolation, and perhaps brainstorm a thread title for the X5, cause I got nothing...

I remember way back in primary school that every year I'd go shopping for relatively expensive new school shoes with my mother, which fell apart long before I'd had a chance to outgrow them. One year, while I was staying with my Grandparents as mohter was having an extended hospital stay, they...

They've clearly changed something, because I did exactly as I've done before, as I know auto-admit works, and it's all fallen in a heap.

I opened it just after my alarm went off at 3.48am. It's not been an issue previously...maybe they've changed something. Also, once I managed to click their "do not kick me out" button, it's now been stable for 30 minutes, so I don't know. EDIT: I've found the setting and fixed it!

So, the room WAS open, but there appears to be a time limit on how long I can stay there alone before the app says "LOSER! YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS!!" and closes down, when no one joins.

Sorry, it gets confusing. It's 4am on the 12th for me. But still Saturday for everyone else.
