That's the best part of it though, because when you destroy them they're like

I agree with both comments,alot of the charvers though want to play around town and I never do that for obvious reasons . Trouble is you don't see them on the Motorways ,and I hardly ever see any scoobies !
As josh says though, I do like the word 'destroy' :)

Next car is going to be a sleeper. Absolutely sick and tired of charvers wanting to play, older men in big cars showing how small their willy is, young men who are jealous, and women who are for some reason offended by a fast looking car.
It amazes me the lengths people seem to go to just to get past. Yesterday on a trip to a local shopping centre a guy in a Civic type R who had been tailgating me for a mile or so ( the road I was on has numerous speed cameras and is notorious for both speed traps and accidents, its a dual carriageway with lots of right turns at lights, 40 mph limit) I was sat on inside at 42 for reason stated previously, the Civic was pushing me to go faster but I was having none of it, he then decided the best way to progress was to swerve in and out of traffic and jump a red light. Minutes later another civic - type s this time- nearly t boned a guy on a roundabout , last one was some knob in an old Volvo 740 estate at a set of lights, so determined to beat me that he nearly wiped out himself by misjudging a corner.I suppose all 3 will now tell their mates that they 'beat a Cupra R' although they will omit to say said Cupra driver A wasn't interested B wasn't trying & C how they nearly killed themselves in the process.

Give over Andy you just told me you had to put 2 new tyres on because you burnt the last pair out doing F1 starts. Red lining it through the gears.

As you know the faster you go the more hunnies you attract :D

Once I was working in York and was in a company car which was a leon 1.4 TSI and had a lad in a 51 reg fiesta doing burn outs/F1 style tyre warming while approaching a set of lights. Was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. He didnt like me crying with laughter in the next lane haha

Ha you'd think so given the amount of tyres this has chomped its way through (with the aid of potholes :censored: )
As for hunnies, I have no idea what you are on about :whistle:
Anyway, you'll find out when you give in to reason and have Leigh's .... :)

Haha. I rang insurance company and they won't insure me on it due to my age and power and that was before the mods he had. So might have to hold out.

That's who I'm bloody with lol. Problem with them and companies like Adrian flux and Greenlight they use companies to underwrite the insurance. So "they" don't actually insure you. They just have a big database of companies who underwrite policy's and that's how the get you a good deal. I got a cheap quote off Adrian Flux and I googled the underwriting company and they where based abroad and was a nightmare to claim if needed however most people wouldn't know because they think there getting insured by that company.

Obligatory 'spent all day cleaning so now you need to see it' photos...

After cleaning, drying, doing in all around inside the doors and boot....(break to make bacon sarnies and put a casserole in the slow cooker)...de-bugging (that was hard), cleaning the glass, trim gel on the plastics/rubbers, autosol on the pipe... I decided to just give it a quick detail with the Rapid Detailer as there still seemed to be some Megs wax on there.

I will use the super resin polish next time as there are some marks in the paint I hope will come out, plus some nasty ones that will need paint, but I am thinking next year for that, so will probably look to give it a seal after the next few polishes to be set for the winter.

All in all im impressed with my first experience of the AG products ive used so far and didnt even use the resin polish or extra gloss protection yet! The shampoo conditioner was very nice and as really impressed with the Fast Glass, amazing stuff!

I just wish I had time to film it.

I fitted some Samsung LED number plate bulbs last night as the others I had started to bring errors. Seems to happen after about 4-5 months with every set I use.

These Samsung ones are by far the best looking and a lovely bright white. Very happy for £5 :D

Changed the discs and pads all round over the weekend.

I'm leaning towards what Patrick said with regards to my next car being a 'sleeper' quite like the simple look with subtle mods. Quite fancy an A4 B7 estate.

Good job on the change of brakes. Not too hard is it?
B7 is lovely. Or you could get a Passat Estate and get it done up by Jamie Kilner hehehe. His is mental already
