Default Me S1

I still haven't put it up for sale yet. I was going to put it in the Autotrader at lunch time today but I haven't got any good pics of it on my PC, just ones of it outside Elliott House.

Its just a standard clutch fitted at the mo. The LSD's a little bit tired too, so will save up for a quaiffe (probably spelt that wrong but you know what I mean).

Where you gettin your floor panels from then John?

I had a little race with an M3 on the way back down south too. I stayed right up his arse till 100mph and then he just pulled away still quite impressive though.

Danny's going to have to start modin soon or he's never going to keep up with us

I'm also lookin in to getting a cossy 4x4 cooler off ScottR so I can run a little more boost too

Too slow Well get your arse up here and give me a hand lol!! Might be finished for the last few shows of the year, we'll see. Its all about money really. I was gonna stop and leave the front end till later but now Mick's talked me into it i'm gonna fit two new front winfs as well, so we'll see.

We should be there first thing on Sunday (we'll go in convoy with the Bristol group, give me a bell when your there. You do realise Dannies not going now don't you?

Yer, spoke to him last night, shame!

If I was closer to you I'd be more than happy to come and give you a hand but unfortunately, I'm not

I'm meeting up with some guy from the WSRSOC at 5.20am not looking forward to getting up that early. Worth it though I guess!

So I should be there for first thing and will give you a bell. Thinking about it..... as Danny's not coming now I won't have anyone to park next too

The S1's going to be all lonely
