The good morning thread

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, looks like the girls have found a new addition to the family

 

[CatmanV2]

Broken already mate ?
I'm feeling nervous here as i remember when you carried out electrical repairs on the last Alfa.

Yes I knew that was going to come up

The mirrors trap water and apparently the epoxy in which the sensor sits actually absorbs it, so currently the temperature is way off. Hopefully this will be more like my experiences of old, and not that unusual instance of the 147 fusebox

Morning, all. Today, some wood treatment on the front gates. And that’s about it. With the Vantage still away being pampered and PPF’d I shan’t be distracted by any desire to spend time lovingly washing or thrashing it.

Andy, cute pooch, very gorgeous.

Ah, so it is a humidity sensor. Nothing wrong with it then

So that was easy. Sadly didn't fix the problem. Looks like I fell foul of the parts equivalent systems. Another sensor ordered for a tenner. Fingers crossed it's both correct and solves it!

Ahem, good morning...

Better late than never; finally got a paddle in with the club at Burnham. About 18km but I know I’m going to feel it tomorrow.

Have fun all...

Good Monday morning to all. Got some driver interviews to do today but out of Ebbw Vake and not until this afternoon so working from home this morning which is nice for a Monday.

Morning, all

WFH today. Need to start writing some job specs. Deep joy.

Mrs C is back in the office Mon-Fri as of today. Bit of a shock to the system

Have a good one, all

Good Morning
Off to Laval for my residence card so on the coffee and get myself tidy clean jeans and tee shirt.
Stay Safe all.

 

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, normal WFH but need to chase down my vaccination date today Irish aren't the most organised with these sort of things

 

[2b1ask1]

Morning all, quick drive to Smethwick this morning before a reorganisation of the van and loading gear for this weeks work.

Have fun all...

Unless you timed that with chasing the tide up and down the Crouch, Newton, that sounds like a helluva paddle. Even if you did ride the tides, it still sounds like a helluva paddle. Let me know next time you're heading down there - it's a good thrash out to Burnham (used to be, anyway - it's been years!) and it would be good to see you. I could drink coffee and wave encouragingly.

Morning, all. Back at it. First task: block out Friday afternoon in my diary.

Hello everyone!
I'd better get on with it.

Morning all.

First job this morning, clean the bird sh*t off of the Jag. Even though it tipped it down last night and therefore washed the car, the local seagulls seem to use my car for target practice.
Judging by the size of the sh*ts on my car it was done by the seagull equivalent of a squadron of B52's!

I literally spent 15 minutes with the hose on it. In hindsight 2 minutes with the jet wash would have been quicker, but couldn't be bothered to get it out.

Maybe a colour other than blue for the next car is something to think about?

Busy day of calls ahead today and hopefully some progress on all fronts.

 

[Ebenezer]

Careful with seagull guano - it's full of grit. Ask me how I know....

I know! When I had just got the Jag I tried to remove some sun baked sh*t with detailer and a microfibre cloth from the windscreen.
I have a scratched windscreen.

 

[MrPea]

Anyone here recall the seagull's aim into Adam's 458 as we were loading onto the ferry?

The sight of a typical Ferrari owner washing his car with mineral water at the docks is one to remember.

Big seagull, that.

I was washing bird poop off the QP at McDonalds with Evian on Friday!
