I've seen a few people driving around (not in Zeds ) with Union Jack wing mirror covers and have decided that I need some for Mr Zedbelly as they would go beautifully with his azure paintwork. I've tried the local garages but they don't stock them. There are some on eBay but it's too late to get them posted out now. I was going to try Halfords tomorrow. Does anyone know of a stockist, assuming they haven't all sold out?

Mine's been in the garage twice already so I know what you are feeling Hope you get it sorted and back again soon.

Keyser, you'd be surprised if I turned up Jo3ly, maybe yours aren't so bad then on the 'gloom scale'.

Now this is one mod I just don't 'get'. I think that travelling in a vehicle with tinted windows is depressing. I got taken to the NEC recently in the back of a hire car with tinted back windows and it was the dullest journey I'd ever been on as I could barely see out

I've no idea what some of the bits and pieces are but I love looking at the photos anyway

Very pretty

If your HU fails why not try singing the songs yourself? Always happy to help

I got a wave a couple of weeks ago and I was ridiculously excited by the fact I wish someone would spot me properly though. Pleeeeeease!

I like Miss Marmite Wasn't sure what to expect but I think the colour works really well Think she might clash with Mr Zedbelly though so don't come up to Yorkshire and park next to me will you?

Neil, I assumed that the garage paid for the warranty work themselves? Maybe not then. I will do as you say though and make sure that someone is ready to hop in the car with me as soon as I arrive

Yes, it's for a warranty claim and that's obviously why they are none too keen on finding the fault

I posted recently about my clutch problem, whereby the clutch remains depressed when it hots up e.g. after a nice, lively drive. I can get it back to its normal, admittedly high, position by hoicking it up with my toe but that's not exactly satisfactory when you are driving I took it back to the dealer yesterday but they rang me tonight to say that they can't help because they can't replicate the problem. I told them that it only occurred after a longer drive/giving the car a few revs but that everything seems normal when the car is cold or driven conservatively in 30 mph areas. I've had some very helpful suggestions to my original post and I believe that, at the very least, the clutch fluid needs replacing but how do I convince the dealership that I am not a stupid woman? They had the nerve to suggest that my floor mat might have got rucked up underneath the clutch pedal and that is what is causing the problem I don't think so since a) the mat isn't rucked up and how on earth could it prevent the clutch pedal from coming up if it was? Down, yes, but up, no way unless the mat had wound itself up and over the pedal and, silly, fluffy-headed little me hadn't noticed I think not. All they can suggest is that I drop the car back into the dealership if it happens again and I happen to be passing. Any ideas please? I am going to go for a drive tonight (when dealership is closed, obviously) to see if it happens again like it has the last couple of times I've driven it and then make a note of how long it takes to happen and drive the same distance tomorrow morning but making sure that I end up at the garage.

Mine are being fitted on 8th June so I will post pics then

Your car is quite a work of art Voodoo Vix ironhide, no purple and orange would look awful

I'll settle for Top Girl I hate animal cruelty too and mistreated animals often find their way to my house because it's a safe haven for them. I am trying to tame a stray cat at the moment but she is pretty nervous. She will eat food if I put it far enough away from the house but I'm trying to get her to gradually come a bit nearer every night. At the moment I've got a two rescue rabbits, two rescue guinea pigs and a rescue cat, along with all my other animals

Fortunately I like nature, well I have to since I live bang in the middle of hundreds of acres of arable land My strangest 'vistors' so far have probably been a guinea fowl with a harsh, extremely loud cry, beautiful teardrop- shaped body and a head like a melted wax crayon and three seaside donkeys who were themselves on holiday since I don't live near the sea I have had numerous stray dogs and cats and little rabbit that I kept because he was so cute and had obviously been very badly treated by whoever had dumped him in our lane. I am not bothered about spiders either way, well, I quite like them really since they eat the nasty, germ-carrying flies

Ugh, my car looks nothing like that, thank goodness I do have a surfeit of coats stored in my boot for some reason though. I could withstand Arctic conditions if I put them all on at once. Very useful for this time of the year ... not.

Happy birthday! Looked like lots of fun

Thanks Rich

Thanks rich. I was assuming that I needed a docking station specifically for an iPhone I like the sound of your other suggestion too. Loud is good and the bass-ier the better. Will ask better half to look into it and buy me the relevant bits and pieces as I've already got some great speakers in my old workshop

That's the trouble, all the best ones seem to be for iPods and I only want it for my iPhone

Um, yes.

Wow, your car was filthy Looks much better clean though. I like the starry car in the background

I'm still bloomin' well painting my workshop. Getting bored now (not to mention covered in paint) but I can see the BBQ being set up in the garden so hoping for some nice kebabs in about an hour's time - yay

Can anyone recommend me an iphone dock that I can't easily break? It will get fairly heavy use out in my workshop as I like to listen to iPlayer for a few hours a day when I'm working. Unfortunately, I seem to keep breaking the things and the latest one has just given up the ghost so I am on the hunt for a more robust one. I've never paid more than about £35 due to my innate clumsiness and frequent breakages but maybe if I spent a bit more I wouldn't be able to destroy the things quite so easily? Any ideas?
