    mmmm...the leather smells back!

    got home tonight to find a bottle of glipstone leather conditioner arrived(partsforvolvos 5.99) and being as i havnt been abducted due to my other thread "military-unseen", thought id av a go at conditioning the leather...
    being a numpty,should've have took some before pics but will say i never realised how bad leather gets,i had some wear down the drivers seat bolster and has restored that and the deep smell of treated leather has returned!!!





    well chuffed with the results!!!!

    oh,and before anyone spots it....i know my carpets need a hoover!!!

    Clearly, never! Seeing as most of the rubbish is on the floor.

    It also serves as a 2ltr bottle holder.

    We use ours quite often for bottles, never used it for a bin though. That may change with the arrival of the little one.

    And it'll cost me less than 20 quid to change the situation... In fact I nearly did. I had 2 cans of dark anthracite in my hand and the wife said "what's that for?" "the wheels" I said, "don't bother" she said, "I quite like them now"
    besides, they still annoy a lot of people so I may well keep them like that... or not...?

    It doesn't need sorting. Just because your interiors are boring, don't drag us down to your world of pipe and slippers.

    There's extra heater buttons rather than your cheapy rotary dials, oh and there's an extra gear in the gearbox too.



    Not our car, but you get the idea.
