I always mix them up, the Perfo's and the Columba wheels...

How do you mix them, front yo back or side to side, or just pseudo randomly?

Had to run a few errands today and the sun was shining so took the 850 for it's first proper drive of the year

Once home I decided to sort out my show mats and put the obligatory stripes on them

Finished off by giving the original 28 year old mat a wash (no dressing on this as it is the one I use and I hate slippery pedals)

Sold the 99 that I hit the deer with, today. Drove it for the first time in a month yesterday, to make sure it was ready to show the buyer. Today, we finalized the transaction and he drove it away. He's rebuilding it, and was really pleased with it's condition other than the collision damage.

I've been missing that car even though I've been driving my 850.

Sorry for the loss!

The seals for the RMS fix arrived from Volvo today. Friday is the planned day to start on this with my mechanic buddy. Won't finish it as we can't get the car until the afternoon, but if it goes well, we should hopefully get the trans out with a bit of luck and 2 of us working on it. Book has it as an 11 hour job.

Neil.

Glad it went to someone who will rebuild it at least!

Don’t envy that job Neil. Just did the FMS on my on my old Gravely garden tractor and that was enough headache for me.

Following on from my untreated rubber mat as above, I was given the name Koch-Chemie Gummifix Guf for rejuvenating rubber mats so I bought a bottle and it arrived today. I've just applied it and let it dry and can confirm it isn't slippery although you can feel a little more movement under-foot. I've not driven the car yet but I think it might be a good product to keep rubber mats looking good
