FFS! I've heard of this happening elsewhere as well, was it in one of the Goodwood threads?

 

Has it really got to the point where we're all going to have to start having locking wheel nuts/bolts all-round? :(

Yep that happened to me, but was the front passenger wheel. 3 bolts fell out and 1 vanished completely. The other 2 were loose!

Unlucky it happened to you too Richard but at least no harm was done. Was it the same wheel that was scuffed? Maybe they caused the damage?

Thought so... Just unbelievable :-(

Interestingly it was the same wheel, rear passenger side.

Rapid is back from GleamMachine with an extra coat of protection and ready for the big Brisky meet on Sunday.

Hope it doesn't pee down on the way there...

 

Wow.

The Rapid is really growing on me at the mo. I saw a really smart one on the way to work today.

There are some cars which really suit yellow

And this is one of them

I hope you still think that when you see it in the metal.

Tell me about it - lots of people want to see the JPS in the flesh - I think you will probably have a bigger percentage of satisfied customers

That looks awesome :-)

Looking forward to seeing what my guy can do with mine when he details it tomorrow.

Fiver says it rains and leaves water spots all over the car before Sunday :-( My own fault for not buying a house with a garage I guess!

If it Rains Saturday night I will give a wipe down in the morning!

Current weather report is that it's going to be pishing it down on Saturday evening.

Might be better to wait until arrival on Sunday!

Saw the report this evening and it says Sunday will be slightly less showery!  

Looking very smart there. I've no chance of getting mine washed in between now and Sunday so will turn up in one of the grubbiest cars there I think     Can't help the weather

Yes, but yours is a colour that really doesn't show when it's grubby.

Future detailer training...

 

 

Pic from a week ago.

Guy's outside work doing mine right now ... It never occurred to me to get my niece or nephew to do it for their pocket money

Mine's done and all nice and shiney, looks to bead up nicely when sprayed with water from a bottle, if we get any rain between now and Sunday it'll be a good test ... did take a photo but the camera on my phone is **** so there's no point uploading it

Don't worry about on the way there, we are having a thunder storm now!! But on the bright side it's beading nicely!

Didn't realise your Octy was the same colour as my Yeti until I got home.

Neighbours think I have a red and yellow thing going on...

If they breed can I have the first orange Yeti offspring?

But your paint work should look 6yrs fresher!

We should park them Red Yellow Red Yellow and take a pick!

My neighbour feel off his weeding stool in the garden when I parked on my drive, came and had a chat like normal, after 10mins he said " It's a Skoda! Thought it was an Audi A3 Saloon!"

He was very impressed.

Because it's still such a new shape I've had a fair number of people think it's an A4 from the side or rear.

Well after having the pleasure of driving the Yellow Peril for the best part of 300 miles I have to say, it is very nice car to be in, has the same feel that the mk1 Octavia has, in that it looks "basic " but give it a few miles and you will come t think that in 10yrs time it will still be providing good reliable service with no rattles or squeaks.

The 1.2 engine is a delight to drive and only a few times did I need to stir the gear stick to provide just a little more go!

So thanks to Richard for letting me drive it.
