    Finally started to get ready!

    I managed to find a couple of hours today to start looking at the car and make sure its fit for the trip and my short break afterwards which will be about 2600 miles.

    Ive had a rattle at the front end suspension since Donny so i thought id take a look under both front wheel arches. Managed to find another loose bolt on the OSF stone guard so tightened it up. I think i need two new front stone guards.

    then i took a look at my front discs which were ok before Donny but suddenly looked worse for wear.




    so fitted my spare bells/bolts to my new set and swapped over the discs. Added new set of RS29 which will prob squeal all the way to Italy and back.

    So tomorrow ill bed them in and then off to Simpsons on Tuesday for a spanner check. Next weekend it will be a thorough clean and load her up ready for 24th.

                    I reckon you could get another TD out of them. Good going though.

                            Popped into Simpsons today......for the next part of the prep.

                            Managed to get a full spanner check, oil and filter change, uprated 120/60 springs, geometry set up as well as new rear adjustable camber arms





                            Also took a look at my new discs and pads against my sad old callipers




                            And finally checked my spare front bumper was being looked after.



                            When I got him i fitted my new battery holder and summertime track battery
