Default F**ing Cars!

whats that saying? if its got tits or wheels it'll give you grief?!
Been playing with my Daily runner a bit, its a VW transporter T4 2.5tdi 88bhp, its used for general running / moving shit about, towing the rally car, and for sleeping in when surfing,
its done 180k so was a bit down on power anyway, ive fitted modified injectors and an intercooler and had it remapped, gone from 70-75 bhp to about 150.
Brilliant not really fast, but easy to drive, will be better for towing etc. etc.
now the fucking clutch has started slipping
theres another Ł300+ gone for an uprated clutch and flywheel.
why do we bother?!
it was the most reliable vehicle ive had till i started fucking about
and yes i know i should have seen it coming
