Cheers Mate,

I get that a lot when driving about, it seems everyone in Buxton with a loud exhaust has a mission to go past me as dangerously as they can in the hope that I think they're cool for doing that  Went to the Morrisons in Chapel last Thursday to do the weekly big shop and had a Clio nearly tip over trying to go round the roundabout too fast in an effort to impress everyone 

Yeah the obsession with the rear spoiler movement is a worry, especially when you're having to go over 55mph to activate it 

Just need to get these wheels refurbed and the correct size tyres on the fronts  :embarassed: then I'm ready for the shows next year.

The other things I have to do are mechanical though and are prioritised over wheels and tyres at the moment.Still have to do the rear brakes so I can adjust the handbrake up and fit some new rear beam bushes.

bit of an update...
as some of you probably know...
i managed to ding the front end... again, bloody ice,
however from a very helpful sivdubgti, i got a new front end in the colour of the car and for a bargain!! cheers m8!
also got a colour coded spoiler and various bits of alsorts that are getting fitted!
just waiting on -
a bit of sill trim,
bonnet catch,
headlight,
and a new scuttle panel that i got at a complete bargain off ebay!!
so overall very chuffed that things seam to have worked out fairly well for good old larry !!
its gonna be a good show season me thinks!!

[Andy-H]
