Back in the detailer this morning for a stubborn bird shit mark. Needing a machine polish on the roof. Going to extend the ppf to the roof I thinkView attachment 26497

I had bird crap on mine too and it really did etch the paintwork. So much so that polish could not take it out. There was a mark afterwards. Like you had to machine polish with someone compound.

Looks like it definitely needs a ppf

Apparently these can do 25mpg, mines broken another amazing drive this morning, when it get twisty these are weapons, sun was out and 16deg so just leaving it in track. Bloody awesome drive and it really is more than quick enough in real world terms. Slight niggle if yiu have the window half way down then it tends to rattle on the crappy roads.

Shoulder surgery so no driving for 6wks
There are some upsides though

Self confessed porsche fangirl Mrs B seems won over by the Emira, said the steering "feel" takes a bit of getting used too

Passenger gives you more time to look around and the interior really is quite a nice place to be

Brilliant, my missus drove my Emira yesterday - took a while to get used to the clutch (she drives an auto most of the time) - another fan added to the list...

Just had two hello fresh reps door knocking, couldn't get rid of them, talking cars, videoing the emira, wanted to hear it

A few detailing additions having pinched a few ideas from others….and look - the golf clubs go in easily!!

More importantly, did you get free samples? No one so far has topped @Bilbao-Emira and the Jamón Ibérico story

Love the lettering on the side skirt. Is that "just" vinyl or has it been lacquered over?

I think it is vinyl with Xpel ceramic coating applied.

Back on tue Road! And what a start! That's tour at a 70mph cruise with a tailwind. 36mpg has made me feel dirty

Destination is interesting

"Ø or ⌀ is sometimes also used as a symbol for average value, particularly in German-speaking countries."

Interesting!

So much better when you can just keep the valves open all the time. The Milltek valve controller is highly recommended

That sounds lovely! Didn't realise PCW started doing these, used him before for M lites and E92 M3 etc, top work!

So a trip to the dealers tomorrow. Still getting the start stall occasionally, the auto hold service occasionally and the yellow engine light occasionally.
And then there's this, my steering wheel is no longer straight/car is pulling left, can't quite figure out what's going on there

Did @kitkat come anywhere near your car?

 

[Magicman]

Neatly hid the valve controller out the way, just on a bit of velcro

Have you checked your tyres pressures are correct and equal?
