Rd Trip Pt2 - The Return, starts at 0400

My car was taken to Brunters today to finish all the top end mapping and it sounded like a messy affair with the rears lighting in 5th in the damp

Jimbo had a wee shot and the arse was out in 3rd so said he cried in the back seat until they got home

Now tomorrow morning we just need those tcas to arrive or I'll go spazzy

I collected the new lights tonight and have located some nuts.

Rock on.

Slowly

I lost 2 off ns front so removed one fron os front and had 3 in each side.

Jimbo said one of the nuts isnt a proper one so best to change it.

Lovely car chop.

However does no traction in 5th mean it's powerful. Or that it just doesn't handle

Ps. I'm only pulling your leg mate.

Cheers West Side. I owned the car in 01-02. Sold it to McBell(well I prefer to say loaned) then bought it back from him in 2008.

It means it was very wet. I'm under no illusions that my car is one of the fastest out there. New rear beam would be next...

I think for the first 30 mins I'll be transfixed with the working tacho It's never worked due to wasted spark. But then the boost will be raised with my foot

What mpg are you getting now though???
















Sorry couldn't resist!!!
Sounds a mental spec,will it be out much in Aberdeen over the summer(work dependant for you of course)?I'll give you a wave in my Nissan vannette,the spec for that is:
Shit slow DERV engine
Mid engined but with about 50bhp just makes it pointless
Rwd but again no power to use it
Red with a surprisingly small amount of rust
Lots of smoke
Kings of Leon cd jammed in cd player.

I'll try and nip out later on or at the weekend, I fancy a race against it to see what it's like, I'm expecting it to be properly fast, you'll have to give me a head start so I can get on boost though.
