    As I had to put higher priority on talking to the owner,
    doing bit of catch up in updating this Blog……

    found through my Health Check service so fairly simple tasks is now turned

    It stopped raining for a while so decided to quickly wash the car although I haven’t finished working on the exhaust crack.


    It was Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and I was not sure whether it was fine using my standard procedure of using the garden blower to dry the car or not so in order to keep the noise to the minimum, just a quick dry was done.
