Ordered a couple of tyres for the daily and put the battery conditioner / charger on the Corsa as it probably not coming out the garage again until next year.

Gone and purchased some winter tyres! First frost this morning and it was quite interesting driving with Super Sports all round. First time I've ever purchased winter tyres!

Frost would be fine if you didn't switch off TC.

Makes no difference the SMG box is terrible in ice/snow when we had the snow towards the start of the year it was appalling and it wouldn't move.

285 rear summer tyres aren't good in the cold/frost. Damp its fine but as soon as there is ice its terrible

Replaced a driveshaft on the Shitnum.

Other had a grumbly CV joint that's got a split boot and been getting worse & it was simpler to just swap the whole shaft assembly than faff around replacing the joint.

Took the seats out to retrieve my dashcam micro sd card I dropped whilst they were out I hoovered the interior. It was disgusting



Also washed the Bodywork and roof, ready for the hardtop going on later.
