I'd like to:

Get a set of Mugen GP forged wheels.

Take it to TDI North and get their turbo kit, Toda exhaust, Kpro etc.

Sort the annoying chip on bonnet and graze on front lip

Find a reasonably priced 'detailer' for a full going over.

I'll probably:

Keep driving it everyday.

My A4 avant will sadly be going after over 6 years (I was only going to keep it for 3). It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned and I'll be sad to see it go. It ticked all the boxes for what I wanted and it can still shift when it wants to, especially with it breathing the current icy cold air.

However a new car is already ordered* and I've got a 3 day test drive in between Christmas and New Year lined up.

* and still might be cancelled

Hmmm, a few bits, but nothing particularly exciting.

* Fix the Alfa 75 - I've sourced a steering rack and we think the problem with the 'thrumming' from the transmission is because one or more engine / gearbox mounts are shagged. Then we'll move onto the bodywork and undoing the damage I did at Llandow.

* Sort the arches on the MX5 then consider a new mohair roof from Jack Smith's in Swansea.

* Take the BMW R1100S (one of those 2 wheeled death traps, for those who don't know) to the Black Forest and Tyrol.

* Late on in the year, do a run to Bonn / Cologne / Koblenz kind of area for the Christmas markets in the 75, or possibly in whatever dreary TDI my company give me to replace the Golf. (Looks like we're on half decent spec. Megane 1.5dcis if you want an auto).

Hmmm, tough one really. Was planning on writing up/questions on where to go next, but I suspect I'll be:

Out of the M3

...in to something a little different

Planning a road trip around Europe again - did it last year and it was ace

Planning to do the east coast of Aus

Exciting year due I think +++

Car wise - I want to get another toy again... really still want a S2K so think that will be on the list and if not that, then another MR2 turbo to play with on the 18-30 thats not organised by anyone. +++

Quite fancy another short Euro jaunt again like the Monaco one... nudge... nudge... wink... wink. ;)

Guess so!

IVA requirement, all cars must have an effective means of demisting the windscreen. Therefore standard equipment on all Caterhams, apart from the ones that don't even have windscreens, obviously :grin:

That's where I've missed out. I think I've driven 7 different Caterhams and I think they've all been Superlights! :)
