No idea what I’m doing! Nothing fresh there!
I can find my car, all details listed and correct. What’s this “claiming “ all about? Is that a separate username and password?

The Frogeye is running very well, except for two issues. It rarely starts instantly unless weather is very warm (as it is now), and more importantly the fuel consumption is high. It struggles to get much over 30 mpg. Admittedly I mostly do short trips, but I was getting high 30s a couple of years back.
