Ever get a few things you need sorting on the car but don't seem to do them!
I was talking to Ash the other night on MSN and I reeled a few things off. Now i've thought of a few more things and the list has grown 
- Buy and fit the drivers side Astra Side Repeater.
- The exhaust is blowing and banging (FUBAR).
- Irritating squeak coming from the passenger footwell.
- Irritating squeak coming from inside the front drivers wing (Charcoal Canister).
- Irrating squeak from front Crash Bar.
- The aerial has come unplugged from the HU.
- I want to lower the front more.
- Small crack in the Rear Light.
- Spoiler to be painted and fitted.
- A couple of marks on the wheels.
- Get the dodgy quarter resprayed.
- Annoying dent in the Drivers wing.
- Slight kink in the bonnet from the last owner. (Must have rolled into someone).
I just want a Sunday when it's warmer so I can get out and sort these things I know a lot of it could be done easily, just a case of actually getting out there and doing it. I'm making the list so when I get home I might pull my finger out and try to do it this weekend. Going to have to get the tools out

" - Irritating squeak coming from the passenger footwell"
Could be the strut top bearing? Made a squeaking noise on my old Corsa when it went

Interior panels need fitting back together flush, right pain,

Ok well if its not that then could be what I suggested. I drove round for about a month thinking it was a bit of the interior squeaking but it wasn't
The plastic trim that goes on the C-Pillar creeks in mine sometimes
One of those little things I cant be arsed to do is sort out a dodgy connection to the speaker in the drivers side door. Never get round to it but everytime it crackles I say I'm going to do it
