spend some money on it, that stops you getting bored, mines knocking at the front too, only on propperly rough surfaces though, like cobbled streets

u2u Willay see if he has any extra track time passes for combe

I'm with matt on this. I am itching to spend more money and just go to stage 3 eds but as we are on the edge of having an offer accepted on a house then i can't really justify spending money at the moment. To be honest tho i aint bored of it just yet not when you can do a scooby on the private roads we have that run in straight lines

i had it booked in to be lowered at tweeks but they messed me about and couldnt get the springs in.. paid 25 quid deposit too need to sort that really..

tbh though even if it does fuck the warranty. cost price parts are never gonna break the bank

think i might just do it..

Tweeks to lower your car

You must be minted, they charge about £100 just to put it on the ramp

I used to be like this, lost sooo much money chopping and changing cars but i always had what i wanted. 2 years ago i got rid of my car and kept my astravan to plod about in, still got it now and tbh wont get rid until i can afford what i want as i know i wont be happy settling for second best.

Best thing to do when you get bored of a car is to buy something for it, makes you like it again

got bored of the cora and fiesta after a year of havingthem but i still love the focus just as much as the day i got it.

always got a smile on my face driving it (until someone cuts me up)

as said, if you get bored with the car, buy something for it. that's how i ended up with silly stripes/chequers/lowering/orange calipers etc etc

As said, keep that for a daily driver and buy a bike. A Peregrine Falcon GSXR 1300 would be a nice first bike

They buy the odd alfa part from us, so they gave me discount on the springs
