Default And she does it again!

I was just on my way to a garage to drop my car off to have the original bumper put back on and sprayed but i didnt make it.






I must have gone through a bumper a year for the last 7 years

The scoob is now safely at the garage to have the new bumper fitted. I have ordered 2 new lights as well. I cant believe it!!

Its going up for sale as soon as its finished so alls well that ends well

I was only doing about 5mph when it happened. I just pulled out before the car had passed me fully.I hit an old Corsa worth about 50p. It was the steel wheel rim that caused the damage to mine. The Corsa was ok so thankfully no claim.

And no bread involved, i left Baggy at home

here is my new car





Just got to put my plate on it and its all sorted.

I am amazed at how nice it is to drive. It has a brand new clutch and discs and so that helps but i will have to get the suspension raised up as its set too low for where i live. In Cornwall i dont think they have any pot holes or bumps. Having 6 gears is great and the position of the gearstick is so comfortable to use, well happy

That is at the top of my to do list. If i drive over a small hump in a retail park i can feel the exhaust scraping slightly. I dont know whether to wind the front and back up or just the back.

I used to have a civic type R, and loved it in the vtec zone, the only problem with them is the turning circle, it is crap, 3 point turns turn into 7 point turns, I know its only a small thing but I did a lot of town driving and it started to annoy me.

You will love the vtec and the way it revs all the way up to 8000! enjoy!
