Wasn't me, but tell me about it.

Doing a comfortable 90 (with everyone else) on the M25 heading towards ScoobySport this morning, everyone slows to 60(why???) and it takes 15 minutes to get clear of the car.

Same on the way home as well.....

Just got back from a drive in the dark and damp.

Very pleased with looks (better than the pictures I have seen) and the performance is far better than the standard lights.

I CAN SEE AGAIN, god knows what the HIDs are like.

Likewise is was good to put a face to a Scoobynetter...

Oh yeah, not only did I get the headlights but I had to get a couple of Goodyear F1's for the rear.

Leaving the industrial estate I could hear a clicking noise as I was driving along, and yes I had a screw right in the centre of the nearside rear tyre (not the kind of screw I enjoy).

So my rear RE011's also got upgraded today as well!!!!

Oh yeah heard the dump valve on Pete's car (while I was waiting for the tyres), the noise of the exhaust on acceleration and the dump value on lift off.

Nice...

With 18in wheels and LEDA did you know that you had the screw when it was scraping the inside of the wheel arches...

NO, but I was told it had probably done 4500 miles!! With the wear to the head "it's been in there for sometime " said the mechanic

I asked "has it increased performance ------ then leave it" as he pulled it out PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH

"Can't be my dump valve cos the car ain't running" Hell my car looks a lot lower at the back than the usual 1" of the ground.....

"Yes sir that's a puncture!!!"

& "£20"

Why didn't you leave it!!!!

But Nigel.....you must go for Leda!!! first you'll underatsnd that mathematics at school doesn't add up! Especially cornering at speed the laws of physics reach an altered state!

Getting screwed for 4500 miles, that was some screw...

Having got a U at A level maths and an E at A level physics, I think I rewrote most laws of Physics and Maths at College but the examiners didn't agree with my findings....

Oh yes, rewriting the laws of physics will require the replacement of the Sports Seats in the car as well....

No not really, just get a mate with some duck tape to strap you in & it will save almost £1000.....Getting out's a problem though SAGA have a newsletter with plenty of car commodes......
