Punto (Mk1) My exploit yellow 75 elx

Have been using the Punto the last couple of days- even took it to to work today, and it rained, then it was blowing a gale and my car park is just pure dust- so tonight was spent getting back to business

fresh MOT this morning

Taxed and battery charged.

MOT booked 9am Saturday.
Had better dig it out of the garage

Nothing to report.

Although I had to push the car around inside the garage to put Christmas decorations away.
My garage is part of the house (new build), with the boiler in it, so it’s warm all of the time in there.

Even still, when I store the car over the winter, I always put 2 of the little plastic crystal dehumidifier things in it, and leave the windows down slightly.

I was surprised to find they were both completely full of water, although luckily, no mould in the car and it smells like it usually does.

It was nice to be inside it again though, roll on summer.

Today, my 13 day old son had his first experience in the car whilst I had it out of the garage.

Will see if I can take the same pic in 17 years time

Over the last wee while I’ve lost interest in the car. I get like this every so often- it sits in the garage for months over winter, life gets in the way etc.

But the reaction it got on Sunday gave me a bit of motivation, and a couple of spare hours had me deep cleaning the arches.

Also found a suitable place for a mini exploit yellow mk1 (if only it was 5dr)

Managed to win the people’s choice category in the show for the 2nd year in a row somehow….. people seem to prefer a 90’s small hatchback rather than an exotic Ferrari.

Anyway, I was parked next to a lovely uno selecta which the owner uses every day

On Sunday, I will potentially (if my missus doesn’t give birth by then) be taking the car to the Scottish Italian car day 2023 through in Queensferry.

So over the last week or so, it’s had bits and bobs done and tidied up, and it’s annual wash.
The ceramic coating is still holding up really well, considering it was applied a good few years ago.

I was surprised by the amount of crap that bled off the wheels considering how little mileage the car does.

And what a Good Friday it is for an MOT…..

Also an update of all the cars in the household now- the xc40 is absolutely brilliant!

Just condensing two threads into one. Pics from other thread from when I went mad clean
