Title: My new car
Post by: Gecko_dan on May 14, 2008, 03:53:03 PM
Hello everyone,
  Just posting some pics of my new car (Nothing too exciting I’m afraid, all standard spec).

  Technically I’ve owned for 2 months now but had a few issues that meant I couldn’t use it until recently (I had the clutch hydraulics fail and also had a bizarre problem with the speedo), still all up and running nicely now :chat

  Just now need to get accustomed to giving large sums of money to the petrol station up the road. (VPower upto 118.9p a litre where I am and rising :eek:)

I\'m probably going to keep it at standard spec, although some of those 99spec parts are really tempting :Giggle

Thanks for the comments.
It had been washed just before those pics were taken, but when I came to it the next morning the entire thing was covered in sand, it was like someone had coated it in glue then rolled it over a few times in a construction yard, I was most upset! :reallymad
A friend told me later that the sand was from the Sahara that had been bought here via the wind and dumped down when it rained, bad timing on my behalf.

Only experienced one medium sized downpour so far, slightly unnerving experience but read enough horror stories on these forums to know to take it easy :Nono!

Am currently trying to learn how to drive with the lightest foot known to man, painful to do though as its soo much fun to drive quickly :D
