Sunday's Leather Trip
Posted: 07 Feb 2006 02:30 am
Well, many thanks to Al, aka Black_360_GLT, who I met on Sunday to collect a very clean and well looked after set of leather seats for my 360. I'd removed all of the GLT trimmed seats, apart from the drivers seat, for obvious reasons, and drove up then fitted it all there, swapping my GLT drivers seat, which went home on the rear seat! Dead impressed, it's more supportive than the grey pinstripe, but still soft! I always liked the GLT standard seats, very comfortable, even after long journeys, but this is even better! So, after meeting Al and seeing his GLT, which he is selling, I headed off to meet Adam, 340GLT.
Cheers Adam for showing me around, that's one brilliant workshop you have access to! Saw the Blueline, very impressed, and also passed Gemma's car, aka Petavius. So from there, on my way home, met up with SteveP and stopped off at a pub for a drink.
Also, these pictures should prove just how effective the headlight washers and wipers are on 300's. For a gimmick in the UK, obsessed with extras etc, they are very effective. After my 350ish mile trip there, (no idea of the total mileage as the speedo only shows speed, so I'm guessing from my route planner distances, it no longer records mileage, but that'll be fixed when I get round to completing a mod on the speedo) the car was looking a right mess, especially compared to Adam and Steve's beautifully clean cars.
All in all, a good day, it's good having mates from V3M all over the country, and infact the world, as Hugh's trip also showed us. Cheers Guys.

Trouble is, we parked infront of that lamp post too, which we did aprreciate when we came out of the pub. I should have parked the other side of you, then we'd have had your de-striped side, and your car would have covered the dirt on my car! Also, someone left a camera case on the boot of their saloon in one of my best pics!
