    First wash in a few months, and i only cleaned it because i couldn’t see out of the windows.
    It was so dirty i’d completely forgotten it was blue!
    I even threw some water at the bike.





    First pic was taken a few weeks ago and today it was lot lot dirtier than that

    Mine was put through the car wash in November. I may give it a clean again sometime soon. There again, I may not .

    I usually put mine in the garage, but of late I've left it parked in front of the garage. It's now covered with a fine layer of saharan dust.

    Have you started it up recently or been out in it? If not, you'll need to, in order to prevent a flat battery!

    Haha - just had the AA man out this morning to replace the battery. It was down to 8V, nothing would work!

    Had to call them out a couple of months ago, for a jump start. The 'health' of the battery was checked and pronounced fine. Last used the car about 10 days ago and it started up immediately, but today - no joy. The battery was a little over 4 years old so needed replacing.

    I do try to let the car idle for about 15 minutes or so, every few days - but I can forget. The shops are only 15 minutes walk away and it seems unnecessary to use the car for such short distances.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Lol... Yes, I'd walk that too, as the exercise would do you good. However, to do a proper 'shop' I need to take the car out as the nearest supermarket is about 1.2m, and not the one we really use. Lidl is probably about 2m away, plus we also use farm shops and the Polish shop for bread and stuff, so the car is kept 'warmed up'!

    Letting the engine idle will help the battery, but better still run it round the block a couple of times, so the brakes don't end up sticking.
