My 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee
Discussion
Parking!
So, t'old Bumblebee hasn't been used much over winter, aside from going for its service. However, even thought it has been parked in the garage with no form of life support for a month or more at a time, it still fires up without hesitation. Very pleased, the battery and alternator must be in good condition, despite its many miles. Hurrah!
I'm getting better now at parking in the garage too. I can (at last!) drive it out and reverse it in by myself! It does however require a camera at the back of the room so I can see how close I am to the wall, and several checks as I'm reversing in to make sure I'm not going to hit the wing or the mirror on the other side of the car. With 1cm on each side to spare, it requires a lot of precision. Here is a picture of the car reversed in...
That's looking down at the boot from from above. Looks close, but no touchy. Parking like a boss.
Using the car for Good.
Last month I took the car to a public show in Wakefield, it was an American car themed event, with cars all over the city centre. It's aim was to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and was great to be a part of it.
The 'bee certainly got its share of attention!
But you have to make sure its locked if you aren't watching it like a hawk....!
"The Supercar Experience"
Then, just last week was the culmination of months of hard work by myself and a couple of others, we put together "The Supercar Experience" event at Meadowhall in Sheffield. It was a full charity event, the purpose was to raise money for the local Children's Hospice. We raised £21,000 on the day, which I'm pretty pleased with. We've ran the event for three years now, and our trilogy total is just under £50,000 to the hospice. Marvelous!
Here is Bumbleebee and Bumblebee!
And here's a video, and you can see my car in here with the dancing robot version too!

So, all in all a good start to the car season, using my new car for slightly different purposes. Whereas my previous Porsche sports cars have been used for family days out but also for weekend blasts and suchlike, the Camaro is used very much for family days, but also to bring a smile to other people too. This car is quite simply just a ton of fun.

Thought about sticking some thick foam strips to the garage wall so as to not get a nasty surprise with that massive 1cm tolerance?!?
Yeah, I've got some on the side wall for when I open the car door. I should put some on the back really too for when I'm reversing. The sides are a little more tricky as its the steel frame for the garage door, and beyond that the outside wall, so there isn't much there really that I can stick anything onto. Definitely will put some at the rear though. MOT Fail
Doh!! despite only covering 600 miles in the past 12 months, I've somehow managed to bend the driver side droplink like a banana. Result: Fail.
So now I need to source a new one - which is always a little more tricky with an import. Tomorrow I'll stop by my local USA specialist and see if they can source and fit a new droplink. It has to be in 10 days to qualify for a free MOT recheck.
The clock is ticking....
In other news, I downloaded an app called KnowYourCar. You put your details into it and it tracks a bunch of stuff like insurance dates and MOT expiries and stuff. Today, it also alerted me to say that the Camaro had failed its MOT! So it must be linked to the DVLA and as soon as the records are updated, you get notified. Handy.
Will update soon!

e.g. on RockAuto, AC Delco (OEM supplier for GM) front left / right drop links are £8.64 / £9.67 respectively, rears are £13.16 each.
FedEx 2 - 3 business days delivery would be £23, so you might as well buy both fronts and possibly rears too if it doesn't bump the postage cost up, get your value for money!
Just something to consider

Thanks guys. I've been down to my local USA garage today and they are going to check out if they have the parts in stock in their warehouse and if not get them shipped over as a priority from America.
However, those links are very useful, so they are now bookmarked - thanks for those!

You may want to consider chopping the rear boxes off, they are a little over silenced.
This was mine after they had been removed https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=atbLrcmB9Pg

Niiiice! I keep toying with the idea of some exhaust mods as it is pretty quiet.. but then I also do like the quiet and wouldn't want a motorway droner. Always a gamble!
This one sounds pretty nice to my ears...

Hi everyone!
MOT Sorted. Hurrah. It was a last minute mad rush, but got there in the end.
I spoke to my local specialist regarding the droplinks, which he duly ordered. They took a while to come, which turned out was because FedEx had sat on them for several days in their warehouse. My specialist was rather cross as this isn't the first time apparently.
Anyhow, the part arrived on the Friday (the last day I could get a free retest), but to our dismay, they had sent the wrong parts - just one digit difference on the part number meant the product was for a different car. Doh!
But the mechanics inspected the fault and managed to re-straighten the affected component. I didn't even know you could do that, but hey ho! Knowing it was so close to the wire, they took it back to the MOT station for me, had it tested, then came and picked me up and took me back to the workshop. Great service!
Back on Show!
I was asked if I could display the car as part of a comic convention in a place called Kirkleatham. An event that aims to raise money for the Museum where it is held and in doing so plays a part in keeping the museum open. A great cause, and the car proved quite popular throughout the day.
It was great fun to be part of too. My 7 year old daughter wanted to come along too, so it became a great daddy-daughter day out as we explored the event, the museum, the local bird sanctuary, played games and went for walks. Fabulous.

Happy new year!
Decisions, decisions...
I'm 18 months into my ownership experience of the Camaro and so far it has been a pretty cheap affair, with very little going wrong and having a local USA car specialist on my doorstep for servicing and the like. Plus depreciation has been minimal, if any, I would say and insurance is only about £300 a year.
However, the big downside to the ownership experience so far relates to comfort. Although when sitting in the car it actually feels fine and really quite comfortable, my back strongly disagrees.
I've had back pain for years now, but had a particularly bad flare up in early 2018 and it hasn't been right since. I'm now at the point where a 100 mile round trip (even with break stops every 20 minutes, in each direction) in this car provides me significant back pain for days afterwards.
My physios tell me that the seating position of sports cars is probably the worst thing for back troubles such as mine and will only aggrivate the condition. This seems true as the Camaro has a low roofline and, being 6'4" the seat can't be made as sitty-uprighty as I have in my Cayenne for example.
So this puts me at a crossroads. I love the car - and so does my 7 year old daughter, who has got quite attached to the yellow bumblewasp. But driving it is restricted to local journeys only really. Is it worth keeping it for that? I'm not sure. One to think about. Its certainly not depreciating at any rate that would be concerning and the original purchase price wasn't enormous either so its not like I'm loosing a ton of money on it if I did keep it just as a special 'toy'. Decisions, decisions.
But in the meantime, the journey that gave me the backache most recently was just a couple of days ago for a photo shoot. I'm yet to receive the full imagery (which also features a model lady who wanted some pics with the car), but the picture below is the shot that I wanted for my wall.
I think it looks fantastic!

Update
With my seemingly never ending back problems, I have been unsure whether to keep the Camaro or not. Long journeys are definately not a good idea currently. However, I took the Camaro out for a short drive to the local library with my daughter and all was well. So if I keep up my fitness, and only do short journeys I think we might be OK - watch this space!
What I've also learned is that adults don't really fit in the back. My wife is 5'7" and had zero headroom on that journey when daughter wanted to sit in the front. Therefore, this car is too big for my garage, too wide to be safe in car parks, too small to fit people, has a steering wheel on the wrong side, is not terribly practical and too uncomfy to drive. As a mode of transportation it doesn't win many points, yet it has rooted itself into our lives and therefore is definitely a 'heart' ownership experience as it'll be staying for now!
In other news...
Photoshoot pics!
I'm still waiting for the full set featuring the car on its own (along with my friends Audi R8), but I thought I'd post a few of the model lady (Sam) who was there for a shoot at the same time. The photographer tells me this was the first time she'd done a car style shoot before. The Camaro is her favourite car ever and I'm told she is over the moon with these photos for her portfolio.
Charity events, public displays, model shoots. Aren't I a nice all round fellow, eh!

I was asked by the organiser of the 2019 Huddersfield Comic Con if I could display Bumblebee as part of his star-car lineup.
The event itself was good fun, well organised and well attended. I took my daughter along with me and we had lots of fun – and also signed up to a family photoshoot where you all get dressed up as superheroes! We are due another family photo shoot and this looked like fun and something very different to the usual fayre. Looking forward to it!
In the meantime, here are a few pictures. The Batmobile was quite a spectacular sight!
Sadly someone stole one of my Autobot badges on the side of the car. These were only held on with magnets and are now only available from Amazon India in the correct size. Handily, one of the guys who works for me is due a trip over there next week, so has ordered me a bunch of them. When I get them back, they will be stuck on properly rather than just used as removable magnets. I guess it was always going to happen at some point.

MOT test today, passed with no issues.
Sadly it has only done a shade over 800 miles in the last year. Partly due to back problems and partly due to being a pain to get in and out of my small garage.
Good news however, our new house is currently being built and I'll have me a lovely electric double garage. Hurrah! This will make the Camaro will be much easier to use on a whim. Looking forward to it
Next week the car is booked for display at a school fayre, so that'll be fun.

Today I took the Camaro to a school fayre to help raise money for the school. It was a brilliant event, loads of people turned up - and plenty of excitable kids wanted to have their picture taken in Bumblebee - a few of them even brought their own bumblebee toys for the pictures.
Whilst setting up, there is a separate playground for the juniors and they were all stood there chanting "real life... bumblebee" over and over. It was the cause of much excitement as I pulled onto the playgound.
Its great to be able to see others get so much enjoyment out of my car - and for me to be able to do something good with it too, to share the experience. It needs a clean now mind, with about 60 pairs of little hands and shoes scrambling about all over the interior. haha!!

I was invited back to display the car at a Comic Con event at a museum in Redcar. This is a lovely place so was happy to attend, and Bumblebee is always very popular.
Once arrived, I gave the car a quick clean and removed all the bugs that had accumulated from during the drive. Yellow cars really do attract lots of insects!
As popular as ever:
I took my wife and daughter this time as its a great family day out. We visited the bird sanctuary next door and listened to a few talks and demos of the birds. Here the bird handler was letting everyone have a stroke of a baby owl, which had some really striking orange eyes.
An attempt at an arty shot:
Gremlins were knocking about inside...
And finally a picture with Hulkbuster Iron Man!
A very fun day out and gave me a chance to blow off the cobwebs from the car as its not been used much recently.

Wakefield American Car Show
So this was good fun. Last year the event was held in Wakefield city centre, but this year the organisor had changed venues to the Featherstone Rovers stadium. There was a decent turnout of cars, but it wasn't anywhere near as big as previous years. This was a shame as it was to raise money for the Alzheimer's society, which is a great cause. There was a band playing most of the day too and they were really good. I don't know why it wasn't very well attended this year, I can only assume that the advertising wasn't as good as it didn't have the council promoting the event and I think this years hosts only posted once on their facebook page.
Nevertheless it was really enjoyable and, in a chance encounter, I met my dads old boss from many years ago. He owns two mustangs, a classic and a modern version - I knew my Dads workmate had two and there can't be that many people in this neck of the woods owning two distinct american cars like that. We had a good chat, his car was lovely and he is an enthusiast through and through. I also got to meet the owners of the American Police cars which was great. They have a huge fleet of them and were even featured in Liam Neilson's movie "The Commuter".
If there is a repeat of this event next year I'll be sure to mention it on here as it really is a good day out.
Moving House
We should be moving house all being well in the next few weeks as our new home is almost built. It has a double garage and a driveway big enough for at least 6 cars, which is fantastic and I'm really excited about it. The one thing I'll definately not miss about our current house is getting the Camaro in and out of the garage. I made a right old fist of it this time around and I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to get back in it again! Service on Friday, so we'll find out then!
