Gave the car a quick spruce up with a splash of water, Autoglym Rapid Detailer and then EGP on top of that.

Just started to rain as I buffed off the EGP and I am currently watching the water droplets chase each other across the bonnet :)

loaded it up and drove it 416 miles from Scotland to St Helens in 6 hours 30 minutes in some of the heaviest persistent rain I have ever seen, fuel economy was dreadful at 35.8 mpg but we were knocking on a bit  :happy:

Hmm. I'm glad it's not just me then. Drove back from Northern Ireland (Cushendun, Co. Antrim) today. Only 250 miles or so but the roofbox, motorway speeds and persistent rain and strong winds put my mpg at an all time low of 35.9 (measured brim to brim after filling up after we got back).

 

On the plus side that rain did manage to remove most of the sand from the car after playing on Downhill Strand yesterday morning. The Yeti is great fun but it can't handbrake turn as well as my MkI Escort could  :rofl:

I find the Yeti is good on the handbrake, however, you need a fair lick of speed and sharp stab on the handbrake to get the back out, then hit the throttle to keep the slide going  :rock:   I also found the TC has to be off and even better if the fuse is pulled so it is OFF.

Dropped the front a bit more as it was sitting tail down a touch now the APs have settled a bit. Tried to wrap my grill 3 times and gave up so shoved on my temporary Halfords-plastidip-a-like one. The black paint will probably have fallen off by the morning but it looked moody as sat in the street in the dark with the black grill!

 

Job for tomorrow before I head up to Scotland with work is to laminx my fogs and have another look at the suspension...
