Removed the amp from the car (it was interfering with the bluetooth option on the headunit + the aerial had a life of its own + gave off a horrible squawk on occasion + headrest speakers didn't work with it), also cleaned up the console a bit and tuned the fueling on the way into work this morning, it needs its "summer settings" (tuned it the wrong direction initially and had a few flaming pops from the exhaust, oops).

Had a great drive from termonfeckin via Navan, Athboy, Delvin,
Mullingar to Moate this afternoon, coming back from a two-day course in An Grianan (working for DES ain't so bad at times!). Fantastic weather for driving an open top motor - gave the car a good scrub when I got it home then "gel-ed" the tyres for that "wet-look"!

The drive made me realise just how much I'll miss the run this weekend

Hope you get great weather for it....looking forward to seeing the pics.

Made a start on fitting leather seat covers i bought.
Bit of a pain of a job. One seat has the new cover half on, took just over an hour but most of that time is spent getting the bloody hog rings out.
