I'm sure I saw Mk7-GTD walking his dog on that site earlier.
Hope they are not the new mats.

 :grin:

I'd be lying if that hadn't crossed my mind.  :laugh:

I have to admit i always change any site boots before entering into the vehicle given instances like this and ensure I have a couple of bags

I would be gutted and those mats looked oh so special

It's ok, the posh mats are untainted, my winter ones went back in after my little footrest photoshoot the other day.  :laugh:  Phew!

Normally I'm the same as you wigit - change my site boots first - but today I was in normal footwear as the thing I went to look at is visible from a tarmac footpath, but then I noticed something else (unlawful land grab) that prompted an unplanned crawl up a muddy bank through brambles, scrub (and the unseen dog crap), to fully investigate (would've gone back to get my boots but the car was parked well away).  And the result was a shed load of dog crap on my boots and hands all scratched to pieces - the things I do because I get paid for it.  :grin:

Ordered the B3 ST2 paddles and a solitary Sport Pilot Cup 2 for a track day in February

 :cool:  Which finish did you/mrs w, go for?

Do you have a link to Jimmy Choo site boots? :smiley:

No.  I can't afford (or walk in) Jimmy Choo's because I spend all my money on a stupid car.  :laugh:

Sorry for lowering the smell of this thread. :embarrassed:  :laugh:

Scratch and Sniff forum option anyone?   :grin:

I went black anodised as did not want them shiny, the B3 seemed a sensible size, the others looked a bit OTT

Nice.  I think the black look good, still very oem.  The B1's are too long for my liking, and the B2's too squared off.  B3's - not as obtrusive but perfectly functional and stylish.

The car went into Falkland Performance today and they reset the bluefin and wait for it, downloaded the original map, uploaded it to Superchips who tweaked it and downloaded it to the bluefin and it was uploaded to the car! the question is, are they downloading or uploading? :smiley:

It's not just us women that lie about how much things cost then. :grin:

When she sees them on yours, she will be seduced and the cost will become irrelevant. :wink:

My other half has no idea of half the stuff I bought for my car - mind you I have paid for it all myself, so he has no say in the matter, lol.

when your wife has the same car no point in being economical with the truth as i will end up subsidising her mods
