Default Picked up our new car today

Had it lowered and upgraded to 17s, with "ultra low profile) tyres, really suprised at how well this drives and feels, Corsas of old have been pap. This feels really well built, for now.






First time I have picked a car up on the 1st day of a new reg.

Yes but are trying to take them back constantly. They are trying to get milbrook (The LPG manufacturer) to pay for a hire car as they are fooking up the part supply but they are refusing.
