Z28 Update.

Yes I still have one, no I haven't driven it lately

Been feeling a bit guilty about spending all my spare time on the

So earlier this morning I'd thought I'd give her some TLC, I always start with the oily bits



It was dam on the garage floor :





Also gave the tyres some air :



Gave all the glass work a good shine



Plenty of Auto Glym polish





Hey presto a few hours later the shiney of the shinest Camaro's

Just ordered another oil filter, I'm going to treat the old gal to a full fluids change over the Christmas holiday period

Must remember I need more brake fluid

Not as many miles as your vehicles go before an oil change

Can't see the pictures here at work, Martyn . . . . .

But, based on previous, similar, threads, I can guess what the pictures are of.

It was last changed on 2nd January 2009 ( I always do some car servicing over Christmas/New year period, it beats the hell out of watching crap TV and suffering Kin Folk ) and not allowing for any mileage I'll do during December, I've currently done 1,148 miles since the last change

Incidentally this is what happens to your engine if you don't change your oil for 40,000 miles

Bought 2 litres of Brake Fluid yesterday ready for the Zee's Christmas fluid change



Retail price is £5.17p + VAT for each 500ml bottle :



With the GM Employee discount that's a total of £8.65 for the lot



Cheap is my second favorite word

My favorite word is " FREE "

That's handy

Guess it's the least they can do when they turn your heating off to save £'s
