Never had an accident is true, second part isn't. I feel sorry for those who have imperfections. Must be quite depressing for them...😎

I fake imperfections to make Zero feel better about himself.
I expect that's the same logic your wife uses about wing mirrors to help you. You know, along the lines of "don't cry about kerbing your new wheel darling, little accidents can happen to anybody, not just klutzes like you".

The damage, (if indeed it deserves such a grand title) to my nsf alloy is so minor, that "she" hasn't actually noticed it yet. I in turn have no intention of drawing her attention to it, at least not until she has at least once borrowed the car...😈

Oh she's noticed, she just doesn't want you to get all emotional if she mentions it.
I guess driving Gods aren't necessarily parking Gods.
If it makes you feel better, I kerbed the Phaeton - against a 9" high cobbled kerb. That was damage that could be seen from the moon, never mind every morning when I walked out of the door.

I wasn't parking. I was swinging. ( no, not that sort ) but I was swinging it round with, I may say, a certain aplomb, in one move, in a narrow street in Herne Bay. The problem arose as a result of an already dislodged kerbstone which protruded further out than its companions. Not by much I'll grant, but enough to catch out even such an expertly judged, and otherwise impressive manoeuvre I am, more or less, totally blameless in this. 😕

On the subject of parking, this amused me earlier. Or is it just me?

Anyway, the car's back, no issues. I'm majorly OCD about my seating position but the memory seats have cured that problem. Used to take me a week to get it back to how I like it. I'm also OCD about tyre pressures ( always run the rears a bit hard because I've often got a load on ) I do wish I could remember to tell them not to re-set them. That'll bother me now until I can get around to fixing it. It's lovely and clean inside and out, seems a shame to drive it really. Oh, and the bloke who delivered it changed the settings on the A/C and the direction the vents were facing. Can't be doing with that either. They're just wrong now. Why don't they understand? You can't have the fan on "2", that's bad luck, and you can't have the facia vents pointing the wrong way, that's bad luck too. What's more, he's only gone and tuned the radio to some local station. Can't have that. Otherwise, it's fine.😉

"....expertly judged, and otherwise impressive maneover (sic)'
Is that a balding lion with a combover?

21C you mean, 21C, not 22C, that's just wrong.🙄

If they did it in half degrees it would be 21.5, but they don't. 21oC is too cold. You're Scottish, you can cope with the colder air.
The old Outback was kept at 23oC.....
Errr. ...Mr Zero. Does your Lancer have climate control? Nope, thought not. Just leave the settings as they are please. There is an auto 'leave it that position' button for reason - so I don't need to touch it, ever..
