Nice to see you again - nice looking cars...maybe apart from rover but that's just me who never liked them I think... Rover was an auto and a lovely drive, way too slow and boring though. Vectra got a fair wee bit done to it considering I only had it a couple of weeks and was standard. Once I saw t...

I'm back! - updated 08.08.07

It was so heart warming all these people asking what happened to me. Well I went on a car buying roller coaster. From Rover 75 V6 :lol: to Vectra Sri 150 then got this wee E46 328. So far put on clear front indicators. Got a set of 18's. Replaced the headlight lenses (not shown in pics) as they were...

Resell will be nil no doubt. It hasn't been bought as a car I like it's more a mode of transport if that makes sence. It'll basically be driven til it's dead anyway at which point I'll buy summin else. The 4k left over leaves me completely debt free so I can focus on raising the family on it's way. ...

Uh oh what have I done!

The reason behind this move change of job title has seen me back in a store again. Hopefully we'll soon have a family on the horizon aswell. Result my store is only 4 miles from the house so no need for a diesel. My car gets used to go to and from work and nothing else. A waste of time having the di...

Coilovers

As title but without a harsh ride is it possible? I have changed jobs so now do very little mileage to worry about unexpected obstacles. That added with the fact my area had not a single modded Passat until I got mine and now theres 3 others the SAME colour :evil: I have to retaliate by going much l...

no excuses, no need for sensors or a bigger garage I just shoulda been more careful! Have been reversing into the same garage for 2 years!

Arghhhh f*ckin halfwit

Just thought it'd be a good idea to reverse the car straight down the side wall of the garage putting the motor away. End result scuffed and severely scored rear bumper and mud flap. Saving grace is I missed the back arch I suppose :evil: Need to get that painted now. Was thinking of colour coding a...

It's started rusting under the passenger door mirror. Dunno if I'll be able to claim that on the anti perforation warranty. Theres a stamp there already to say it's had some bodywork done under warranty but doesn't state what.

They are the FK ones mate. They were very easy to fit, I simply handed the local Auto Sparky £30 then picked the car up later that day :lol:
