The first of 3 trips through this tunnel for the weekend.

Within 2 hours of the car being back home, we hit it with the lowering stick.

It wasn't long before Scott just gave up though..

The next morning we set off at 6.30am to go back up to Scott's

A massive Costco trolley was definitely required for these..

The sticker didn't want to cooperate with me and the top just got lost somewhere..

Now the next bit.
Big boost is coming, I'll be fitting my fmic in 2 weekends and going stage 2 map, then in the Easter holidays the new turbo is going in and job done all good.

Another nice estate on the forum, good work chap!

[4WayDiablo]

sorry... scotts estate?

[vlj]

sorry... scotts estate?

Well, over the weekend that I brought it - I didn't actually get to drive it, whilst Scott racked up 350 miles or so.. so we came to the realisation it may as well actually be his. Yeah.

[C2K]

Looks like a good base to start with. Something always satisfying about a new car that needs a bit of TLC.

Audi going or is that a different guy?

[Scott]

It's a really tidy car to be honest. It needs a few things doing like the wishbones, but on the whole it was pretty damn cheap! Very good purchase It was hilarious picking it up though and thinking the heater matrix was f*cked, driving home for around 45 minutes freezing our balls off inside the car, then after a moment of playing with the dials the heat started coming through! Oh, and the random STOP light that came on after we'd lowered it, thoroughly confusing us. Found out the next morning that it only came on when the air con button was pressed on!

Cheers. Yep the Audi went a few weeks ago

You just reminded me I need to sort the wishbones.. and now the matrix works on full power (does sound like its trying to take off), such a good weekend and of course a massive thanks for taking me to get it and helping out!

[sam]

Looks really smart on clones dude

[puglove]

So it was you who stole my steering wheel ...................................that i didnt have the funds for...............


But yeah loving your style, get it , get it lowered, get the clones on! but FFS get a car and stick with it for more than 10 seconds Dum-dum the 2nd

[Scott]

I think Vaughan's actually been through more cars than Dum-dum has...

I'll be making sure he keeps my car

[4WayDiablo]

sorry vauahgsgsahagn what with all your gay filters... is it silver or manstain?

[Scott]

It's silver!

[Kimmie]

Excuse me....I was there too!

It's also Scott's because Vaughn referred to it....'are we taking your estate Scott?' or something like that!

[Scott]

That's not the only time he's referred to it as mine either You were there but you weren't there lowering it in the cold

Has anyone noticed how the main photos of the car with work being done are with me sat in the wheel arch and Vaughan just taking photos?

[Kimmie]

Touche!

I was clever!

You can't do work while laying on the floor next to it

[Scott]

At least I was still holding tools

He's got you there Vaughn....and you didn't try the Jalapeno on the nachos!

I'm getting quite good with hot food now I promise I will next time, or at Ace on Monday. Me and Amie are going to come up for it.

[Kimmie]

I'll believe it when I see it!

[Toms306]

Oh no....its a w reg expensive tax one!

Also, didn't you pay like a grand for that Citroën just last week? . How come you're getting rid already?

And if you haven't done already, check that rear arch for rust lol, especially on 150k!

[Scott]

This is how I'm reading your posts now Tom

[Niall]

Sold it yet?

This is how I'm reading your posts now Tom

[vlj]

Sold it yet?

No! And I won't be, pinky promise. For once it's actually a tidy car that I'm happy with - I LOVE the economy, and my insurance is so cheap on it even with mods declared that I couldn't really say no. It's a comfortable drive, I'm sticking with it.
That and I can fit all my shit in it, it's fantastic.

100 quid over the space of a year doesn't really bother me.. I only bought 6 months in the post office when I got it.. I did say 'well I'm only being optimistic', but now I think about it I should of gone for the year!

Lol! I did actually buy the Picasso, it wasn't a joke.
The Scenic died so me and my mum went out and I bought the Picasso for her, so yeah I do actually have one. I bought the HDi prior to that though!

There's no rust in the arch, not even a hint of rust - quite pleased really
As Scott said it's a very tidy shell, there's a crack in the rear bumper but I'll either find a replacement or filler it and repaint.

[C.A.R.]

Nice.

What's with the Instagram-afication of every single bloody photograph though?! Gawdamnit.
