Recommended Posts

Saw you on the 74 this morning - here's hoping the map lets the car go faster than the van was :blush: .

Have to say, even on the trailer on a dull morning it looked very nice indeed !! :icon_salut:

Things never went as planned today,decided not to fit the lowering springs after talking to Duncan & i never got the geomoetry done or get her on the dyno as the guys at Hypertech found 1 of my rear wheel bearings was knacked but got a few other wee jobs done.. :mellow:

So ive left her up there & i'll be collecting her & driving her back down the road on Thursday all going well. :thumbup:

Cheers for the roll & the brew & of course the blast in the RS & the RA Bobby. Nice to see you again & i think im still grinning after feeling the power delivery of the RS. :o:thumbup:

It was an early start for me as i left home at 5-30am & the van is just a 1.9cdti so she wasnt the fastest but it done the job well. :thumbup: Could of done with some better weather for the journey though. :wacko:
