Spring Is Coming - Preparing For Winter.

As winter passes, and spring arrives, it is necessary to prepare for the next winter. FTP has been busy collecting wood, ready to cut and season for next winters fuel. Deece says it has been hard work for her shoulders too!

Before and After Cleaning......

With all the salty wintry weather recently FTP has looked very dirty, so the other day I gave him a wash. The change was remarkable (and without waxing):





Where clean water now stands proud again on the paint. Alas, today I noticed that I failed to wash the whole roof....

Myvi Facelift - spy shots.

Malaysian site Paul Tan has some spy shots of an updated Myvi, which is due in April in Malaysia.

Update: some nice official pictures now available.

Snow/ice now gone.

The UK seems to have had varying amounts of snow and ice with sub-zero temperatures for most of the last month. FTP has handled these conditions extremely well. I found the ABS irritating at first, but if you know its going to happen it stops being a surprise.

I am please that the low temperatures are gone; having to wait for the engine to warm every time I use the car in order to to melt the iced windows gets boring. I am also pleased that FTP performed well.

Happy New Year

Steve & Deece

FTPs First Snow

Will have to get used to the ABS!

Big in the Republic of Ireland.

Having recently spent an enjoyable week in Northern Ireland (with occasional incursions into the South) I only saw only one Perodua - a red Kelisa with NI plates. However, I did find a website for a Perodua distributor in the Republic - their website has a link to a newspaper article that says that the Myvi is poular in Tipperary (PDF). Tipperary sounds a sensible place.

FTP Relaxes on Holiday

Currently we are in Northern Island, but FTP finds a little time to relax on Downhill Beach....
