Was going to get to Tim's a bit early on Saturday so took a scenic route and thought I might as well get some piccies with the new eyes recently fitted and try out a new (to me) camera -Panasonic DMC-TZ7.

I quite like the 2nd to last one :wub:

Impressed with the camera, 25 - 300m lens, 12x optical zoom, HD video (720p - AVCHD files so saves on file space with good quality, zoom active while filming), stereo sound, yada yada. Got a mount for the bike so that should have some interesting film going downhill and looking to get a mount system in the car for Combe

(I'll just edit the non-Volvo's out of the film :whistling:

).

In the process of making some "fillers" for the bumper where the wipers used to go. Lined the depressions with cling film and filled with body filler. Removed them after curing and I'll be sanding them down to fit over the next few days ready to paint later and fit all being well. Tidies the front end up nicely

Cam belt change, replacement front braided brake hoses (that fit properly), remove front brake guards, new brake fluid, oil change, general check over and ~~piss-take~~ banter plus see my thread re-MAF issue.
