Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6

Not a massive update, basically the car had sat doing nothing since Mazz & I went on holiday 22nd June. So I got it out on Friday night

Didn't really do much driving of it over the weekend, and i haven't even had a chance to give it a clean which is verydepressing, but I did paint my brake calipers on Saturday, which was vaguely theraputic and meant I could spend the day outside with Mazz whilst she did the garden













Halfway through the afternoon, Mazz had to go to Homebase to get more supplies, so I took a halfway shot of the garden (no idea what she was halfway through but still!)

And a shot of my wheel which I LOVE








AAANd the finished article all back together





I really like it, and I've definitely noticed the +20bhp that all tuners know is released with red calipers...

I also changed the top engine mount to my bbm group n one whilst letting the penultimate coat of paint dry on the calipers. I didn't take photos, as it's such a straightfoward operation, but even with just the top bbm mount installed, it's noticably improved sharpness, and brought more vibrations into the car lol.

On Sunday Mazz & I had a proper lazy morning, and then met my uncle and my parents and one of the brothers at my grans house down the road. Took the '6. Offended everyone on the way home. my uncle used to own a lancia Delta Integrale, and LOVES the '6 now after my 'brisk' acceleration out of my grans

As the weather is amazing, I'm driving it to work this week. LOVING IT

That is all Really hoping to be able to give it a proper detail at some point over the coming couple of weeks, but tbh I'm just massively pleased to be able to drive it in half-decent weather!
