spot on fella! good work!

Try explaining that to Mrs Horney. Apparently I make Hitler seem like a thoughtful loving man.

i read your facebook status update!! i feel your pain.. I guess the bathroom / mini is getting some lovin shortly?

Er yes. I've had to agree to the following to keep the peace.

* Pay for the bathroom to be redecorated.
* Pay for a weeks holiday in Cornwall
* Remove all car parts from the garden (and never add any more)
* Take her to the flicks this wednesday for wolverine and next wednesday for Star Trek including Pizza Express for both occasions.
* Not go to the plains Rally this weekend and instead sort out the shed so all the crap from the camper can go in there.

So not much eh?

Anyhoo should be picking up the beast on thursday or friday night.

No I just want a set of steels with road legal tyres on so I can get to and from the meets. I'll then swap the Compo's with the R888's on when I get there.

I have 4x 14" GTI Steels with cheap tyres on sitting in my garage ?
make me an offer Nick.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

You jammy git, pretty much everything has been done for you. Look forward to seeing you piloting it.

When I get the Mini finished I'll join you on some track days, get some David and Goliath battles going on.

fair play matey, when you want to upgrade the seats (and you will) let me know as i have accounts with recaro, cobra and corbeau so should be able to sort you out something light and supportive.

Wil probably be next year but that's awesome mate, cheers.

Sorry that sounded like i was just trying to sell you a seat, but a guy whos Recaro pole positions i trimmed for his Z4M, who is a track day/nurburgring regular reckons the seats were his best purchase!

anyway good luck with it, I'm sure I'll get lost soon in the 65+pages this'll probably get! :P

I know what you meant mate and it's appreciated.

I know what you mean about my threads, I'm the worst spamming offender. THink I'll set up a thread in the projects bit that doesn't include all my and others waffle! Then peeps like you can just read the important bits.
