But in that quarter mile of 10 seconds or less......are you free :)

That doesnt look too bad mate, it looks pretty flat. Is it just full of potholes ?

Bugger! I was beaten to it with the missed offside mirror.:)
As for that lane, I recon its a quarter mile in a straight line but more like half a mile by the time the pot holes have been dodged round?;)
As much as it pains me to compliment a rattle can job and with the wrong code........ that does n`t look half bad mate!:thumbs:

Comfy on the sofa, so no fresh photos :)
Went to GSF car parts in Norwich and bought a new Bosch MAF. A really easy swap and instant improvement in the way the car drove. By the time the car had stood for a while at Snett, it was long enough for the ECU to 'learn' it had a new MAF and the engine management light went out, coinciding with performance returning to normal :thumbs:

Yesterday, I set about the odd mirrors and masked up for a quick paint job. I didn't have long as we were due out for BBQ about lunchtime. Masked up and ready to go, my curiosity got the better of me and the rust bubbles on the bonnet's leading edge were picked at. Then dug at. Then rubbed down with a drill attachment :) The small rust bubbles hid four holes!! This then meant that I had a bonnet with more holes than a tea bag, and three hours to get it repaired before we went out. Long story short, some P40 fibreglass repair and some filler, some rubbing down, some swearing and more liberal spray can stuff and bosh!!! Fixed (kind of) and good to go.

The car is running well, handling well, braking well, looks OK and sounds.............silent! I need a dove from above and 3" system :D

I saw some great Cupras in Lux @ the Berg Cup. This one, 570 ish HP, was especially nice

Certainly food for thought :) I have even found a wide arch kit too!
