new radio aerial bought -

yep the original is struggling a bit and needs a good oiling however I've never liked the way it ruins the lines of the car, makes it look like an RC! So new internal windscreen aerial has been purchased with a view to fitting it inside the boot panel next to the OEM version. Pic's to follow :)

sunrise over Loch Lomond -

yep, got up at 630am this morning and drove down to Loch Lomond to watch the sun rise over the hills. I did take some (forgettable) pictures but until the hosting company sorts out the upload issue you'll just have to imagine being there. Very tired now lol

MOT and service / wheel alignment -

sadly that time of year again and I'm actually more nervous than normal this year. Worried about the sills esp the passenger side but if it fails not much i can do about other than fix it. Be intersting to see how the brake test comes out..... Need to check the back sides of the discs and make sure they match the outer. Oh and give the car a good run to clear out the carbon...
