Thank yous and more bits

Cheers to everyone who turned up to the car squash on Saturday. Not sure I ever want to do it again, or that the AX appreiciated 16(!) people in it but it was good at the time. A good afternoon's fundraising by all accounts at ASDA in Clapham, followed by a laid back evening in the Ostentatious Old Explorer pub. Thanks to everyone who went home with a lot from the "money can't buy" Auction, and anyone who donated at the evening or bought some Merch.

While in a name dropping mood big thanks to Creating Space for sponsoring the bonnet. Photos soon to be up on the blog or watch out for them on the Snowdodgers website.

Combining Tesco's car products section and a visit to Noons Breakers yard we've got yet more critical and not so essential items for the car. These range from Footpumps to warning triangles, shampoo to "TURBO" badges.

Next little project is finding a way to secure the 2nd spare wheel in the car, avoiding the chance of it flying about should we have an accident. Strapping the wheel to the roof isn't great as it'll kill our fuel efficiency and there really isn't anything to attach it to. There's not even anything in the boot to use to strap it down. The cunning plan now involves using the spare wheel cage from a fiesta to mirror the existing spare wheel cage slung under the chassis. If anyone's got any bright ideas then feel free to chip in, at the moment it's still very much work in progress.

Last thing to try out is if Redex actually makes a difference to the car....having bought a bottle I guess it's just a matter of wait and see...
