Morning in the early afternoon...up around 9:30a (in the bed a little after 1) and just moving slowly. Meal prep for the week underway, as I have evening meetings Monday-Thursday. Thought you all would appreciate "Olde Europe"...but it's a great patisserie and coffee joint, and I'm glad we live an hour and a half away from it. Rain continues, which is very welcomed...and another excuse to do very little...

Morning
To Basildon to get (I hope) MOT, new rear pads and discs and ZF service.

Frankly I'd rather stay in bed. Still running a temperature and feeling poor :(

Have a good one, all

Oh Dear Chris but you have to get that work done and ask to see a sample of the old fluid as I'm genuinely interested.
Hope you feel better too :)

Morning! Any reason why it doesn’t have handles on the back doors?

The handles are housed within the black triangular area of the door for a smoother look. I think Alfa were the first to incorporate this, now many others have copied it!

Too late, I'm afraid. Left the car, drove the loaner home, found I'd left the house keys in the Ghibli. Found the spare key was not in the outside keybox, had to drive to Mrs C's work to borrow her keys.

Apparently it was 'ewwww' but will discuss with them later

Morning, all...get some rest, Chris. Monday, with a presentation to the City Council on the docket this evening as the last thing...rain stopped but bottom fell out, temp-wise, again. Brrrrr.

Hopefully, in an emergency, someone will know where to look if someone needs to be pulled out of the back of the car!

I think it's common enough, now. Pretty sure it was Walter Da Silva's idea. Very rapidly appeared on the Cupra and the Honda Civic (from memory)

Definitely on the New Civic as it was I was working for Honda then taking it all around the UK on Dealer training.
One of the first with the fake exhaust tail pipes too little pea shooter below the bumper.

I think Da Silva worked for Seat after he did the 156 / 147 did he not?
