I almost forgot

[Bonnie and Clyde]

But now i remember With all the unrest in the camp of late I'd almost forgot what it was all about
However i just popped up the road for a pack of Beers for him indoors and WOW What an awesome car this is The sound, the power. I do believe i just fell in love all over again I've been in twenty minutes and i am still buzzzzzzzing like a bee. I LOVE THIS CARand i love this forum to all of you

[ksithumper]

you been on the pop too Mel?

[gsd2000]

i count 12 smilies including the title, is that a new record?

[Dr Prod]

No unrest with me....It goes in one ear & out the other . Right...I'm just nipping out for a packet of chewing gum (thought I'd better have an excuse lol )

[sneakygloworm]

Yes! You're not wrong mel. They should never have put radios in these cars. The driver should be made to just listen to the noise. Even Mozart couldn't compose a note like that. Sounds really agressive. I just come back from a run round the block and pretty much burnt 15 squids of fuel. What did I acheive? Bugger all! But who cares. Thing is the harder you go, the better they sound. Very addictive indeed.

I don't drink babes. I'm high on V8 juice There is not a drug on the face of the earth that's ever made(not that I've done any) me feel like the Beast does. I did 15 miles going a mile to the shop

First 2 weeks of ownership I didn't even know I hadn't turned the radio on!

Does anyone else take different routes now to go under railway bridges for a bit of popping and banging?

So I definitely agree with this thread... oh so addictive

Cant agree more, took it out the garage today about 2pm to wash the car and ive not stopped driving it since, really should look at the fuel gauge actually it may run out at any point!

[Roman Knows]

I'm glad it's not just me, first day i had the car i went through the Conwy tunnels 3 times before i went home.
In fact, i've noticed we're a bit low on milk so i may have to drive to the top of Gwaenysgor hill to see if i can spot any shops open at this time of night

[J. J.]

Theres a shop open in Wellingborough!

[Roman Knows]

Toooooo close to Santa Pod, i may never leave.

Gonna take mine out tomorrow for alittle run me thinks. Promissed the missis lumch somewhere so its an excuse to use the big car. Had a week of driving the diesel BMW so 450 extra horse will be nice!

[gsd2000]

These are the wheels

I will get some photos when they are on the car. My mate has them on his seat leon and they look better in person. Matt black with a red lip, really show off my nice shiney ap's. I did struggle with alloys as most places just said no due to the ap's

I'm okay with mods so far as i only got a car at the start of the year, since then i have got the wheels, ripshifter and ap's. I may go towards efi live at the end of the year but will speak to a few forum members before i do. Just want to enjoy the car for a bit, but i feel a diff will make a huge difference. I plan to do alot of suspension mods next year.

I like to go under as many bridges and tunnels as poss. Then really open the throttle! Scares the bejeesus out of other motorists. And makes me laugh hard. Approach said bridge or tunnel at low speed in 2nd then hard on the throttle! Great when you get convertible cars in front. The drivers poo their undies. I'm such a child

[crisisjez]

Nice wheels big g

They`ll look great on your totally immaculate motor


Bonnie, remember every mod is worth at least an extra 50smph

Thanks for reminding me what its all about

[hsv_rulz]

Thanks Mel, for putting this all back in perspective - it's all about the cars and the thrills we all get from owning/driving them. Let's hope the recent shenanigans and ill feelings can be forgotten. If anyone has any doubts, just get in the car, wind down the windows, select first and floor it - soon brings the smiles back.

PS. Who here hasn't driven 20 miles for a bottle of milk from the shop 1/2 mile down the road? Come on, own up.

Not me, I've always walked to the shop, honest!

Well, maybe not on the odd occasion......
