Right, thats it.. i give up. Saw Diens again this morning whilst I was driving up Astley Street, gave him a wave and got **** all back .

And shortly aftewards I was in Platt Bridge and a silver classsic went the other way and again, not a dicky bird, just cruised past with his *** in his mouth.

Is it me? Something I've said? Or do most of the scooby drivers round here just hate bugeye drivers


Well **** the lot of ya !!!!!

everyone has a clean car apart from me. Do like the wheels are they 17's? did you have to mod the arches or did you use a different offset?

thanks, yeah they are 17s, quite a pain to fit, even to fit 17s without lowering you need to do arch work, initially i had some RS focus rep wheels in 17s, fancied a change after it had been mag featured so did a bit of a radical make over

not sure i like the look anymore but it's a damn sight quicker without lugging around a trim and ICE

I don't think the one I saw had gold wheels...

I was working down the side of my neighbours house on Tyldesley road (Not Tyldesley old road ).

Those 182's are pretty quick aren't they? I've never seen one being thrashed yet though.

Have you decided on having decals yet. We are just waiting for samples back from where we first purchased ours as he has 2 shades of gold that he has used. If its the older shade he will still make them for us. At the moment only 3 quarters of the car is stickered up so does look at bit stupid.
Had a new cat 1 alarm fitted the other day for insurance as theft of subs around the Manchester area is up. We should move to a Leigh WN postcode to get cheaper insurance. Did a quote on my old postcode in Leigh and it was almost £100 cheaper.

Delay the wedding. Better still don't get wed. 12 years I have had. I get excited about getting the 500th thread. Do you really want to end up like this?

Dogs wake me up every day at 7.00am. Thats whether we are in bed before midnight or 4 in the morning.
Red Castle Services in Pemberton fitted the alarm for £345.00.
