Default I got my cossie back today! :)

Yup after 9weeks and 2 days (not that i was counting ) i got the cossie back today

AVA fixed the fire damage and did a few other jobs for me that i wanted doing. There were a few teething problems and a couple of unknown faults but they just got on and got her back in shape for me

Has been pissing with rain all day so havent had any dry fun but boy she's going well in the wet even
Oh and after 32months without a rwd car i at last had some rwd action tonight

hope its dry tomorrow...

Bet your glad to back home what with it pissing it down the way it was, a long day...but ACE fun

Your cars running sweet, wouldnt have known youve been away from RWD for so long the sideways action PMSL at the adrenaline comedown you had after getting out the car...get used to it

Seriously a very nice ballance of power and handeling look forward to a play in it when its dry.

Glad to hear you FINALLY got the car back and all is well, i hope it stays that way, especially with your debateable driving........
You'll have to pop in past sometime or i'll no doubt see you out and about in the usual places.
