Very nice looking Ibiza you have there, the SX is a nice model too. Im not usually a fan of the pale blue Ibizas, but yours looks great. Nice camera work and video too!! [B)]

Did i read somewhere you service it every 8 weeks? Why is that? Im all for servicing though, do you do it yourself?

Im impressed with your economy, Im considering a 1.2 Ibiza at the moment - peoples MPG on here differs greatly! You must be a very economical driver. :happy: Id be happy with 47-50MPG from a petrol car :)

Tis indeed, Might I say...Damn you have sharp eye! - What was the give away for you?

I hate driving up that road during the day! It's easier at night...

Sorry, don't know why I didn't reply to this sooner! Always thought about taking photos of the car up there, but there are always people in the layby.

I recognised the road from the shot with the road in the background and the scruffy looking tree on the left. Been up that road a few times now. Came down towards Kilsyth the last time in my friend's Hyundai 4x4, gave a fright to a girl in a Mini coming the other way, as she went round a blind bend and was confronted with him! It's much better when it's closing time at the quarries and cement works.

Always have serviced my own cars, I enjoy it! The economy people don't tend to believe, I don't really get it myself anymore as I seem to get more each month!

I also service my own cars, usually about every 6K miles or 6-8 months, though its usually the mileage first. I also enjoy doing it, but i also dont trust garages with my car, very often anyway, i wouldn't do anything major myself, cambelts etc.

Impressive that its still going up! Its all that servicing :happy:

Now, I have converted from AutoGlym, I have discovered how good Meguiars NxT Gen stuff smells! I washed and detailed the car with it on Sunday ... Just for something to do and the fact the car hadn't been wash for 4 days! - un-acceptable!

You take some brilliant photos. Self-taught?

Oh, nice car to, looks spotless

Thanks, yeah, mostly self taught, I'm always trying to think of new ways and places to try and get a photo of the car that's "something different" ....
I like to wash the car at least once a week, unless and there is a hurricane or something that gets in the road...
