Good couple of days, trying to soak in the last long weekend of summer...
Replaced some sketchy looking vacuum lines on the XKR and then fitted the rear-facing baby seat....Luckily Mrs.Firm is short because the front passenger seat needs to be all the way forward, but it works. Took it for a nice drive to Mrs.Firm's favorite bakery in Oakville and then along lakeshore to the weekly car show at the CTC on the Queensway. Nice night and probably the most time I've spent driving it since bringing it home.
This morning I tackled the spark plugs and wires on the Escalade. 258K and I don't know when they were done, so I wanted to do them for peace of mind. The plugs that came out looked pretty decent, but the wires were heat baked and there was some corrosion on the terminals, so glad I did it. Not particularly difficult, but probably 70% of the time was spent wrestling to get the old wires off the old plugs.
I also took the wiper arms off the Escalade and painted them, between the sun damage and stone chips there were looking a little tired.
Then I had bought this set of MGB wheels and tires for $200 off kijiji a couple weeks ago to go on the Chartreuse car since the tires on it are all terrible, mismatched and not holding air. So I got these out and gave them a good cleanup...$200 was a steal for these with nearly new tires and rust free rims
