    Wot the white one above your post? If so thank u! Kind of mine (she is still registered in my name) but I gave her to the fella when he had a run of bad luck with his Mark 2 and the black Mark 1. The Porsche wheels are sold now, I borrowed them for RTTS, wrecked one of them after a blow out and an accident with a wheel adaptor so had to buy them! Repaired and then sold on as I went off anything that doesn't fit VW pattern after that.

    oops

    Ah thank u Nick. The wheels were cheap as the fella who had them b4 kerbed them and tried to remove the nuts on one with a blow torch (?!) I cleaned them up to the best of my ability and they looked ok. I sold them cheap as well, shame I didn't know, as I would have offered them to u. She has Avo adjustable coilovers which are off at the mo as they have come back from being refurbished. She is sorned for the winter but will get her all pristine again in the spring - weather up here has just been too foul for car play.

    I can't remember where that pic was taken. It could well have been as we were on way home from Cornwall...

    The little car seems to like hitching a ride. She enjyed the trip to Scotland - I couldn't drive as two to take.

    I have been really pleased with mine. They do leak now and then and need tlc, but I think thats pretty normal. It's a nice ride (not too hard at all although my mum isn't keen on it!) and excellent on corners.

    Yea they suck, watching a few really low cars at combe bouncing around in the corners and a fair few spins prob due to cheap collies, I just wanted it low for cheap so they did the job, there totaly spotless despite never been looked after so will probably get most of my money back, Iv upgraded to FK konigsports and there better.
