Correct. I plugged your car in. ($106 per side BTW).

Nice. I've got the car mods on hold until I get these new golf clubs, but I am still thinking about circling back to the black grill and side vents.

Played yesterday. One of those days where it makes me want to quit. Such a frustrating game. Playing again a week from today which will probably close out the season. Holding to finish strong.

You're from New England. You know we gotta plan until it stings your hands when you smack the ball

In the Mid South we play pretty much all year. Well, some of us (myself included).

I started using an ONR mix as a quick detailer in a spray bottle for the past two weeks. It really helps keep the car clean, obviously, and I'm not sure why I didn't do this earlier. Usually I'd wash the car every two weeks and even then it felt like I let it get too dirty. Now, I just spray down any obvious dirty and then the front windshield (lots of highway driving daily) and I think I could squeeze a month out of each handwash. At least until winter hits.

I agree. You're just asking for swirl marks. ONR is great stuff, but it's meant for a spot clean here and there. You are rubbing that dirt into the paint before it comes off.

It's better to wash your car the proper way or don't wash it at all. Quick detailers, water-less washers, etc. used as a means to clean a dirty car is scratch, scratch, scratch with every wipe.

Limbaugh nailed golf perfectly. It's an easy game. It's just extremely difficult to play consistently. My wife & I stick to miniature golf, she's beaten me less than 5 times in 47ish years.

First rim in for repair, 20" RF that came with the car.
Didn't even get home unmarked from new - a very dangerous overtake forced me to the curb. Sigh.
Fitted the new 19" with standard summers (what a difference) and while on holiday found a small piece of cornish granite while pulling over to let someone pass. It sliced the tyre as well, so that will go in when the 20" comes back. New tyre at same time. It had done 600 miles..
May even clean it properly this afternoon, first time in 5 weeks, first full wash after ceramic coating it..

Ah OK, I guess I'll stop then.

Have you tried Red Tail? I just played it for the first time today. Nice course with elevated tee boxes. Cart girl was cute also

Boulder to Telluride. All time great drives

SonD · 09-24-2022, 08:42 AM

Just been to collect a repaired rim, didnt even make 800yds from new before someone did a dangerous overtake heading towards me and forced me into the kerb..

Tyre off, valve out, diamond turn, re laquer and stove, (now need new M badge from somewhere) re mount tyre and valve, balance.
4 days and £90 later..

It now goes back on with the other 3 as the set I swapped out to (19"s non RF) went on holiday and found a tiny bit of black cornish granite sticking out from a narrow road in a passing area, at night. That chunked a big piece out of the new rim, and sliced the brand new tyre pretty badly. So that goes in for repair and new tyre Monday..

Just got my 23 so I did some quick coding.

Upped the speedo to 200 mph and changed the startup screen to the ///M logo.

That would be adaptive cruise control.

Not the kind of people I'd want to be around then. If those cars arent photoshopped on top of that landscape you should give yourself a pat on the balls, those pictures are great.

Swapped the starter button for a blue one, test fit sports pedals, don’t really like them

The newer pedals fit the F10 better, IMHO. I believe the G30 sport pedals fit the car better. I do have both; F10 & G30.
