The 2nd panda topper arrived.
This is the basic sleeping arrangement
A panda topper on the bottom, above that the 'quilt' cover you see is a sandwich containing the other panda topper, plus a 13.5 tog quilt I got for a bit more padding. Underneath it all are pillows in the seat crevasses.
I sleep on this lot, with a 'normal' bed quilt which I get off the bed, over me. The dog sleeps ontop of that.
The 'potti' goes between the end of the bed, and the front passenger seat as forward as it'll go.

Adding to this, I wanted to give the MX-5 a spin so I popped to a Home 'Bargins' and got another twin pack of cheap pillows. A few of the 'pillows' I had in the seat dips were actually cushions, so it's a bit better again now. And I stuck those cushions in some other places to pad up further. Must have 6 pillows and 6 cushions under it lol
 
Just changed oil and filter.
The old oil was just turning darkish but still brown with just a hint of combustion smell to it, so considering it’s two years old and had slick 50 gold in it I’m reasonably happy

Thank you Stuart,👍

if these are the ones in your aviator get them back on as they look great :D

Regarding my wheels although I really liked my previous 19 inch wheels and thought they suited my black Elgrand really well I quite fancied going a bit bigger and have always liked the look of split rims and I think give a more retro JDM look.

No spacers as yet.

Just dug out a 3mm thick 200x100 piece of aluminium that I had left from filling in the inner section of my rear number plate surround to I could fit a shorty plate and will use this doubled up to make some 6mm thick spacers as a test and see how I get on :grinning:

A warm day but not baking sun so gave it a wash again and included the roof this time. Enjoying a Demon 12% whilst admiring my work. Next job, cook the fish, chips and mushy peas.

Looking great buddy!
Making me hungry love fish and chips!
 
Not a lot today other than checked my sunroof drain bucket catcher as its raining yet again!
I did find myself staring at the rain running off the waxed bodywork for a while which was quite therapeutic! lol
 
Furgo and I took a little diversion today. I happened to glance up....and saw this....!

Apparently it's in someone's garden and is run as a VERY unique Airbnb.

Haha I was thinking the opposite like what my Dad used to do with his Mini 1275 and put a Mini 850 badge on instead. "It's a wolf in sheeps clothing" my Dad used to say.
Difficult putting a 997cc badge on my Ellie as it sounds like a V8 with the quad exhausts. 🤣
