Wheels changed and the tyres are brand spanking, I don't think he was.

Oh yes he was  :grin: (DH is ALWAYS preaching about tyres)  :tongue:

I was.  Some things are important..... although I'd be all over that cambelt, too....
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

If you remember this car was shamed with 3 spokes, those tyres are 7 years old, I bought the RA's last year and had new tyres fitted only last week.  :cool:

Yes, in hindsight I should have ordered the cambelt sooner but I got a bit carried away with MOT jobs and wasn't expecting it to fail on so little.

The other half hates this car but she's just come for a short drive with me to her mums, I was warned "no rapid acceleration!".  Problem is it's lumpy if driven soft.  Pulled away hard once, didn't go down well at all.  :evil:

All the way there and back: "It's too noisy, it's too cold, it's too hard, it's too bumpy it's too small, it's too smelly" etc etc etc..... I think it's fine though.. :grin:

Yep, she really doesn't get it, doesn't understand my love for this car or the MK1's before it.  To her it is a shed. At least I have found a good balance between playing with this and getting on with things that keep her happy.  She has never stopped me doing the things I love, just doesn't understand them.

My other half hates my car because it gets more money than her.

Also, it's too low and looks like a snuffling ground hog.

Her words - not mine.
