Im a happy chappy
« on: 31 March 2009, 14:44 »
So as i mentioned a few weeks ago with my bonus from work i decied to get my Camera Rig instead of my Miltek exhaust :( was hard but had to be done

Today i had some good news that my bonus case had been accpeted in work and signed off (I was 1.5% off my target in work to get a decent bonus) but its all gone through and now ill be getting some more bonus in my april pay!

So ive just got off the phone with TSR performance and have put a £60 deposit down on my Non res Cat back Anni style exhaust :D(was lucky as they were ending the offer today!!!)  and I might even have enough money to strech to some Weitec Collies as well just need to find me a anni stlye valance now :P

well this is another issue i need to deal with, cambelt and water pump and with a bit of luck if my mate can do it rear bushes on aprill 11 so that will all be done

with the steering, had it serviced a couple of weeks ago at Vee W services, they had it up on teh ramp but couldnt find anything wrong, when i went to pick up the car the guy came out and coudl see what i was saying about there beign too much play, had a feel around and couldnt find anythign, basically said its a problem inside the rack and the only way to fix it is to replace so keeping my eye out for that as well  :tongue:

just on the hunt for that bloody rear valance again  :laugh:

hopefully though i think my bushes are shot too so might do a job lot if its worse case scenario  :undecided:

would have taken 5 minutes to reconnect your door mate - missed opportunity there  :tongue:
