Hi everyone.
Thought I ought to say hello been lurking around for a week or so now. Im a new Edition 30 owner after buying a red 57 plate car from VW Salisbury to replace my Mini Cooper S. The cars made the trip down from the Cardiff area looking at the logbook when it came through in the post and has now got a new home with me in Dorset. Loving the car so far :driver: - although it had to go back a week after i got it to replace the air blower motor, which was fixed under warranty. First thing is to change the tyres as its got some budgets on there at the moment.

Not much chance of spotting them at all in this weather!! Got an order of pads/polish on its way so should be able to get the paint up to scratch this weekend so ill get the camera out.
Found out since buying it that it has a 6 disc changer in the dashboard despite the dealer saying it wasnt - win!

Cars been tucked away in the garage all weekend and had its polish.

My MINI sold today so ive finally got a bit of cash to get rid of the hateful 'primewell' tyres as they give no confidence in the corners particularly as we dont seem to be getting a summer and make hell of a noise - think ill be going for the Goodyears. Then maybe look at adding a bit of extra bite to the brakes.

Looking good there mate. May I suggest a Revo remap before you alter the breaks..... :evilgrin:
