Pardon my ignorance but what is a Canary?

A Yellow sticker commonly known as Defect Notice

Uh oh, guessing this is when law enforcement officials notice something on the car not complying with their regulations? Sorry to hear

got a Canary on Dolly the other night,biggest thing that pissed me off was,I put off getting tyres on her for a couple of weeks had them ordered to be put on the night after the Canary went on her.

Would have been nice if they could have let you bring the car in the following day to show tyres were ordered, you've been getting the new car back in shape pretty quickly so very unlucky that the cops appeared 1 day to early

I reckon you have done well there Rick, it's looking good. Always used to use your method to bleed brakes as well. I can see you only put the bottle on the paintwork before you used it.

A very productive day, Rick.

Ni hao ma?

I spent almost the whole lesson trying to grasp the pronunciation - it appears to be the hardest part of Chinese, whereas grammar seems easy.

The $50 was for "in-house" dining, so used their restaurant. It was only average for the price. Not that I was paying.

+ had the i30 to it's 2. MOT today, it passed the test.

- 1 minor issue was detected: 1 manchet/grommet at the right steering rod was cracked.

+ I don't have to come back for re-inspection, just need to have it replaced.

+ New steering rod is only 27 EUR and an easy DIY fix.

Happy 225.000 km i30 owner
