Im hoping the modding will re commence.....was slightly upset when my Mum said 'ooooohhh, what a lovely looking car'....ive never had a car that my Mum has said that about and cant make out if its a good thing or a bad thing. However, ive never got in a car and fallen for it straight away (and im in the motor trade) i love it, i love it, i love it. Thanks for looking after my new car for me Steve, it really is a credit to you !! Looking forward to dividing my time between here and driving. Matt :happy2:

This is all going to well....when you buy a car you just never know its history, seems to me that from your responses ive not made a bad choice  :drinking:

A Warm Welcome!

Great that in buying a previously used car you can learn its history in such detail. You can read all about it in Members Rides or Members Projects. It's been loved and well looked after.

haha if you had got on here sooner you could have bought all the mods again

Just out of interest, claymatt, might you have bought the car if it still had all the mods Steve had fitted?

Try applying some braking during your next journey with your Mrs.   :evilgrin:

First chance ive had to come on here since Friday, im like a 17 year old that has just passed his test all over again, i cant stop driving, BP are going to announce a huge rise in profits if i carry on the way im going....it just gets better the more i drive it !!

Would i have bought it with the mods?? Probably not, im looking forward to making it my own,although trying to improve on Steves success is going to be nigh on impossible.

Oh, happy valentines everyone.....tip from me.....do NOT suggest that £60 of fuel is an ideal valentines pressie, apparently its not, ah well, better jump in the car and go to Reading to see what my left over sheckles can buy her  :happy2:

matt, try and use shell VPower in her because its 99ron as apposed to BP petrol which i think is 95 and 97ron.  :happy2:

Having seen Steve's car in the flesh, it's always been looked after and of course it's also in the best colour too.
