shark_90 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well I dropped into Sportstech earlier to check on progress (and congratulate Ben on becoming a Dad ) and I was surprised to find my car nearly ready! All built back up, just the undertrays to go back on and a thorough road test to see how it behaved. I'm glad to say it's running very well indeed, whether I'm just glad to be back in it after the 80 of joy and more recently the worst thing I have ever driven (Peugeot 307!) it really feels quick and planted, and I'm probably under a slight illusion but it feels better than it did before it went in! Still awaiting the bill, but will give a parts and cost rundown when I get it. Just so glad to have it back Thanks again Sportstech, and particularly Ben. You have excelled yourself once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_m Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 19 I only got 3 less when I drove JC's S4, and that was rather spirited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, I thought it was Tuesday and hadn't got around to putting the lottery on like MrMe said, and now I feel I've lost my chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_G Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 You'll have been able to save some money from diesel driving to accelerate the modification program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yes but the repair bill surely will put paid to that for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Definately! And as my spangly new "You can insure up to 4 cars with us on one policy" insurer won't insure more than 1 car if you're under 25, it looks like I'm not going to be able to buy the diesel runaround that I was planning due to insurance costs I'm still doing the TV tuner though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
