Were you going anyway or is this a case of "snow chasing"? Could it catch on with Cross owners?
Was going anyway but you could be onto something with that 'snow chasing'

I remember going to the Jordan works a couple of times about ten years ago - used to do consultancy for one of their sponsors - Eddie had a room equipped with a drum kit where he used to shut himself away occasionally to take his tension out on the drums - also not a bad drummer.
Collected the 100HP Red Bucket from the dealer and took it for a bit of a run.
Fitted a Pipercross air filter and tinted the side indicators too...

I'll be working in mine as usual! Saturday's not too busy though, so I'll give it a wash/leather/vac in the afternoon.

Cheers.
I think always cleaning all the door jambs really helps.
Looking good has to be said but being a youngun I just have no idea what that music is
I always leather-off the door jambs and around the engine bay so even at my mileage, they still look clean

That is the debut album by Suede [Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler being the singer and guitarist respectively, and joint songwriters]. It was released in 1993 and had a similar impact to something like the Artic Monkeys more recently. Very recommended by me
The man was right - even with my monster hands it took hardly any time. Fiat could show the Japanese manufacturers a thing or two there - doing the same on previous Toyota Yari, my Isuzu truck and the Mazda have been long, painful tasks. I'm glad the "fried egg" look has gone now.
I also fitted a stubby aeriel - the one for a Honda S2000 works because its not "tuner", its long enough to receive Radio 2 and it stops the 100HP looking like an R/C car - a set of Heko wind deflectors and an Xcarlink so I can play my "choonz" (Top Gear Albums and TWiT podacsts mainly) through the stereo.
The Hekos took seconds, but I sustained minor lacerations whilst putting in the Xcarlink from the collection of razor blades Fiat seem to have dropped down the back of the dash in my car.
