The Bird Dropping Wipes are really good, really handy just to keep in the boot or glovebox and do their job well. Just be gentle using them, don't be tempted to scrub with them!

Hadn't even noticed them until now!

Completely agree with you both. The annoyance here was not the Aygo blocking the road, more the fact that no-one was letting them out. On busy roads you have to do it really if you want to get anywhere in decent time.

During rush hour, a Toyota Aygo blocks the road in front of me and waits ages for someone to let them out. I decide to just go round the back of them.

The traffic in front and behind me had already come to a near stop as it was, so I figured that with my hazards on a few seconds stop was not dangerous. Just didn't have it in me to do anything else for it tbh.

A German truck doesn't give way at a roundabout, forcing a white van and car behind to stop on the roundabout. Coming round a corner on a busy 60mph A-road, I notice the traffic slowing down and something moving about in the middle of the road. Turned out it was a rabbit with an injured hind leg. With cars dodging it, I stop with my hazards on and the rabbit manages to drag itself off the road. Poor thing.

Says the item has been removed?

Do you have a link to the LED sidelights?

Looks like a great road trip! How did the car perform? Also, what's the train that all the cars are on in the last photo?

A Honda CRV using the right lane on a roundabout, then decides to go straight on, forcing me to grab their attention!

Going down the A1(M) we spot a shiny and rather cool looking Airstream trailer. Approaching a roundabout, I notice a broken down car in lane 1. I need to turn left so I move over allowing space for the Audi and BMW in front of me to move over. Instead, they both drive up to the broken down car, despite that car having it's hazard warning lights on! Turning right at a crossroads, a stupid chav on a bike goes straight through a red light in front of me. I know these people don't have brains but this was completely ridiculous! A Fiat Punto overtakes a Land Rover Defender, that had just pulled out of a junction, over hatch markings before a right-hand junction. Luckily the Defender wasn't turning right but turning left into a layby merely 10 yards up the road! A van decides to move into lane 2 for no reason (nothing to overtake, going too slow to catch up to the truck ahead). I decide to just keep going and undertake, showing my annoyance as I pass. Coming up to a cyclist, a van and a 4x4 go round the cyclist even when there is oncoming traffic, looked way too close to both the cyclist and the oncoming traffic. I slow down a bit behind the cyclist, check the road is clear, then give them as much room as I can when overtaking.

A white van barges out into a small gap in front of me, forcing me to brake.

I was there, parked in the field next to the industrial estate. Saw some great cars there, highlights for me were the E46 M3 CSL, a trio of McLaren 675LT's and the Pulse GT1!

Following a Corsa going onto a roundabout thinking it's going straight on, but then decides at the last minute to turn right! Good thing there was no-one there! Driving just outside Durham, we come across two cars both with front end damage. Looks like one was turning right and the other crashed into it head on. Driving down the A1(M) in County Durham, we come across a Renault Megane in the hard shoulder, with what we at first thought was a right rear puncture, but actually the right rear wheel was missing and ended up in the central reservation! Must've been scary for the driver and passengers. A VW Passat is confused by the road markings on Thinford roundaboout on the A167/A688 and switches lanes at the last minute. Going down a 60mph road (at the speed limit), we catch up too quickly to a VW Touareg going very slow (less than 30mph) forcing me to overtake. Don't know whether it was breaking down or the driver was just not on the correct planet!

Pretty sure V9 came out recently, annoyingly not long after I'd bought a V8 card off eBay!

Skoda replaced the Dunlops with Pirellis on customer cars that went back under warranty. Mine pulled to the left slightly but not enough for me to bother taking it back to the dealer. I replaced my Dunlops with Kumho Ecsta LE Sport KU39 and they're spot on, and the pulling to the left has gone.

Gave my Monte estate a good clean at the weekend, and got the opportunity to try one of the (too) many waxes I've bought recently! Wheels got a hit of Valet Pro Bilberry wheel cleaner, with Britemax Grimeout used on tyres and arches. Various brushes and the Dooka wheel mitt were used along with some Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss in the wheel bucket to give them a proper good clean. Decontaminated with Carpro TarX and IronX, then finished off with Autobrite Cherry Glaze and a coat of Collinite 845 (love this combo on my gloss back wheels!). Tyres got a coat of Meguiar's Endurance Tyre Gel. Rest of the car got thoroughly pressure washed, then got a coat of Bilt Hamber Autofoam which was left to dwell for 10-15 mins while I went round the hard-to-reach areas with Meguiars APC and a detailing brush. Then a 2BM wash with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss (first time I had use this shampoo, really impressed with it, smells good and gave plenty of suds and lubricity!) and the Gtechniq wash mitt, then decontaminated with TarX and IronX, and clayed with the G3 clay mitt. Went over the car with Autobrite Cherry Glaze, then finally a coat of Wax Planet Red October (really impressed with the finish this gave, really easy to use, just did the whole car then buffed off, and hardly used any out of the pot so it seems to go a long way!). Really pleased with how the car ended up. Got plenty more waxes to try out, and hope to do so very soon!

N R08SON on an Audi A5, onvioualy a certain name!

Caught up on a few uploads today! Came across this one night. Looks like a van hit a big animal, which you can just make out in the video, not sure what type of animal it is though. An Arriva bus driver misses his stop and blocks the road, not a massive issue but a bit annoying at the time. Spotted a Citroen Xsara Picasso with a mattress on the roof! Was held on with one big ratchet strap around the car! Heading into Darlington station, the amount of cars that needed to move over surprised me, then had to dodge a Mini coming out of a parking space! Stuck behind a lorry and car, an impatient Audi driver decides to overtake near a pedestrian crossing (the flowers were there after a cyclist was killed there a month ago) on a right hand bend too. Look out for the cyclist wearing dark clothes on a fairly dark unlit country road with no lights riding down the wrong side of the road! We see him further down whilst waiting at some roadworks, riding off the road this time! SWEARING ALERT! This one really riled me up! A van driver, who was on his phone, doesn't look and edges out of a junction as I'm coming towards him. In the end I have to swerve out of his way after he doesn't hear my horn! I then gesticulate to him to put his phone down, he has a problem with this and tailgates me just after this video ends. Really annoyed, even more so by the van driver's reaction, that somehow I'm the bad guy by having a problem with him breaking the law!

Wax Planet sample pot set plus Expression QD, plus Obsession Wax Dynasty sample. I really need to stop buying waxes bow!

I've had sticky rear drums on my Monte pretty much since I bought it just over 3 years ago! Only when they get wet, either through weather or washing. It did appear as an advisory on my MOT so I'm getting them looked at when the car is serviced at the end of this week.

Dozy woman in a Mitsubishi Colt pulls out without looking. And 2 close calls with a white van, once going round the roundabout together, then him pulling out in front of me to overtake a truck.

2 videos of people pulling out on others at junctions, one in front of a Mercedes out of a T-Junction, and another a VW Polo in front of a van at a 4-way junction.

Had a BMW X3 (or X5, can't decide which) drift into my lane on a dual carriageway, had to beep to get him to notice me!

Cleaned my girlfriend's Kia Picanto this afternoon. No before shots but it was pretty bad! Sprayed with Powermaxed TFR, then foamed with BH Autofoam, and 2BM wash with Meguiar's Gold Class. Finished with Gyeon Wetcoat. Glass cleaned with Gtechniq G6 and windscreen got a coat of Angelwax H2GO.
