It never ends, there is always something that you want to do, change or modify

Im happy with mine as it is, although ill always be looking for minor cosmetic bits and pieces to add or change, maybe more chrome and carbon every now and then. The only major thing I might do is upgrade the 330mm brakes to some bigger ones, but thats more for looks than performance as the brakes are more than good enough as they are.

Nope, in theory yes its nearly done, but there are always things I want to spend money on,.... Take the Pectel monitor for example!! I didnt buy it because I need one, purely because I want one BUT I have managed for the last 3/4 years without one

Funny you say that - I was sure that i wanted one with a cloth interior...
Now i've got leather, and its really grown on me, although i would still love to get hold of a new drivers seat as thats where they all go after all..-I think that was in fact the only thing putting me off of leather at first.

Happy? Hell yes - modifying a Cossie is 90% of the fun in owning one as far as I am concerned .
