General What did you do with your Panda today?

Had a go at stopping the under bonnet felt from falling down at the back. Used double sided tape specifically for cars.

And touched up the wear from bonnet to wing contact. Thankfully, not got worse since I would the rubbers out.

Left for Afan forest in Wales on Friday approx 10.30, forgot that my phone/google maps was set to avoid tolls and this caused an extra 46-60 mins journey time as it was taking me around the Severn bridge. Arrived there around 4 to a lodge with my closest friends and mountain biking buddies, for a weekend of mountain biking. The road to te lodge was hardpack stones etc but by no means smooth, but the Panda ate the roughness up.
Returned home today in much better time, overall just under 500 miles there and back, averaged 56.1mpg which was pretty good considering I was enjoying the loud pedal a fair amount on the way back. I have been managing 65mpg on my way to just past Kingston from near the Dartford bridge on the m25, approx 90 mile round trip.

Doesn't get much better than a Panda!
 
I had a custom made subwoofer solution in my Panda 169, the only rattle it produced was the license plate.
Installing it was easy because i had a aftermarket high quality Radio CD player.
With the new 319 it is less easy to install because you have to cut into car wires behind the radio, what i'm not planning to do.
 
Werthers Originals would last longer than that. They are made from cheese. And not Parmigiano-Reggiano - that's far too resilient. Mascarpone, probably.

The odd thing is if have expected the ns to go first ..... Also they are not available separately apparently so a whole new arm was needed.....

Yeah, I didn't want to go fussing about in the dash so we had to use the left rear door speaker wire instead, which is far from ideal.
 
Theh way through rust proofing, I've wire brushed the back axel and spring cups and coated in a waxoyl/ petrol mix, inside the cups I've popped d some Dynax cavity wax and cavity wax across the front subframe, when all that's dryer it's having a coat of stone chip.
 
Got the storm trooper helmet back from a service. I was expecting the absolute worst. I've been dreading this day for a while. After all, Fiat is not exactly known for their service excellence.

But…

I have nothing bad to report. The entire experience was completely painless. And because the car came with a service plan I had to cough up exactly nothing.

So far owning the Panda has been a great experience.

Holding thumbs.
