WHY do wimmin DO that ???? I knew one who managed to shatter the glass in the passenger door of a mates lovingly restored MG. And that was after calling him a "s**te in nining armour" (sic) for giving her a lift after her car broke down.

No influence at all on my cars!! In fact she hate's the Volvo (which is now welded up ready for retest WOO HOO).

I do what she tells me with her car though!

Mine moans. She has acepted that we have a deal though, after 3 months for a "Shakedown" of the Octavia to spot any problems it is getting a set of alloys at least.

Why?

Complete waste of money.

Aren't all hobbys?

Mine says if I put a bigger exhaust/intercooler/more boost into here Forrester she'll kill me.

My car, my money. I'm not planning on spending on anything stupidly expensive or garish. I prefer the way they look. Will buy used for peanuts and get them refurbed. Much cheaper than new. I think it has discs all round so it should look OK.

Will probably look for either a set of vRS 17" or a set of second hand RS4 wheels. Keep it all from the VAG parts bin where possible. Things like an R32 steering wheel with the badge changed from VW to Skoda.

So is the fact that you own so many vehicles, but it's your pleasure and you're willing to pay for it.

After reading your ramblings on another group about S-Type jags and whatnot, I'm seriously questioning your sanity, and/or whether you're a troll who has somehow become accepted.

While I'm ranting, I remember you offering beer tokens for looking at a shagged out Alfa 164 that was on eBay a while back. Hope you enjoyed the beer.

Heh, I know that feeling...

I don't think Steve is actually a troll, I just think he's misguided.

Think yourself lucky, my new missus has stole my Audi, and left me with a

And it does save me soooo much money getting to work, and I was putting galactic miles on the Audi.

I've just picked up a near new set of OZ Racing (mileage under 100) alloys for the MR2 for £75. Also came with some budget 2nd hand tyres which still have quite a bit of tread left too. There are bargains to be had out there!

It's a dull commuter hatch. You'll get bored of it quite soon, so spending money on chavving it up is just throwing your money away, IMHO, of course.

Remember, 17s will make it even slower.....

A little hit with something useful like a paypal addy would have been handy, like.

I like the thought of picking up S/H VAG parts from better cars though. I quite like the wheels fitted to the VW Phaeton. Not the normal fat=20 spoked ones but

They do look nice.

Heh. Mine initially expressed mild entertainment at my plans, then started vetoing some ideas and putting forward others.

It isn't actually slow. Doesn't feel much different to the saabs, and feels quicker than the Celica most of the time, unless I really ragged the Celica, in which case it took off a whipped MP.
