No I think more Porta Loo\'s should do the trick.

What make are the wheels?

Cheers

Looks like i\'m at the same point.  It goes for spray this weekend.  Got my wheels and suspension ready for when it comes back, so just a case of putting it all back together, then the dreaded MOT :(  then get it registered.  So hopefully early next year i can start running her in.  Can\'t wait! this bloody fiesta is killing me......lol

Cheers

My preferred English team is Liverpool so i think sticking with the red will be fine, besides, the black and white stripes of the Juventus strip wont look that good on it... :D

Hee hee! No probs, its to be expected really, whenever a thread starts to go on a tangent you always seem to get an everton crest in there! ;)

Im thinking about starting a similar campaign with the liverpool crest just to even things up! :D
Title: I got new wheels!
Post by: gsb876 on December 03, 2004, 01:19:54 PM
Must use the crest Donato they can\'t keep us down!!!!!

I think when you guys get your strikers back they will come good, i actually had Cisse in my dream team at work!!!!:o  

I think Gerrard might leave soon though if nothing happens this season??? great player would be needed at Real Madrid???;)

You heard it here first matey:rolleyes:

They certainly have a lack of firepower at the moment, that didnt stop us against Arsenal though! :D

Yeah, its a big fear losing Gerrard, although i think Real Madrid need to start investing in defenders! They are having a shakey season, especially in the champions league, unlike the mighty Juventus! 5 wins out of 5 so far, granted they have all been 1-0 results!?  But 15 points is 15 points!

Even my scottish team Hibs are having a great season, up to the dizzy heights of 4th in the league!! (it wont last) :rolleyes:

Now where did i file that Liverpool crest....? ;)
