[dav]

Vrs - cheers

Jc - yeh they look a lot better, got the worst of the of the kerbing touched in too

They are far from perfect but still a million times better than the R32's

Will get some better pics sometime soon

 

[jc_boc]

It's looking VERY good to me mate. Top job on them and as you said, for winter mode they are the danglies.

 

[Nef]

Looking sweet mate. I'd be happy with that as a summer mode. Lol.

Im loving the black btcc rims tho, i'd love a set

 

[dav]

Cheers guys!

The day I put the black bbs wheels back on with sport contact 3s is the day it actually snowed!

The fleet has now been cut down to two... The bike has sold this morning. After 4 years I had only covered 2.5k miles! I will get another once the wedding etc is over!

Next one to go will be the Ibiza, but this will be after may when I will then call the misses my wife :/

Been looking at many cars, Mercedes c class estate, 335d estate, 123d, 135i will get a good drive of the bmws as I know how the merc drives!

 

[Willie]

Like your thinking.
I'd find it hard not stay away from a 335d Estate or A4 Avant 3.0 TDI but like your thinking on the 1 series too

 

[dav]

Audis aren't really on the radar manny, not really keen on them.

I may even get the c320 cdi estate but still no patch on the 335d engine wise...

 

[dav]

Amanda doesn't know if she really wants an estate just yet either...

 

[Willie]

Yeah fair doos, they arew a bit dull.
Can you nae get a Merc Estate hame for the weekend and see what she thinks?

 

[dav]

Yeh probably could that wouldn't be a problem, she has been using the Leon again and loves just the extra grunt hence the 135i idea they are awesome and BMW have lots of extras available...

I widna try and talk you out of a 135i but would try to talk myself into a spin

 

[dav]

I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem, need to wait it out just now and then maybe at the end of summer start the search, which could take a while

Been a while since this was updated.

Life wise I am now married

Career wise is away to change drastically for the better

Car wise the ibiza will be staying for the time being... Got my house to do up now

And the Leon... I still ****ing love this car!

The Leon has been treated to some ap coilovers, height wise it's very close to the sport lines but just a bit higher

The grey winters have now been powder coated black....

Also got a set of orions away to get done in either anthracite or gloss black... Which ever is the most shiny!

These will be the new summer wheels and will be wrapped in some Goodyear goodness!

Took the Leon over to the west coast of Scotland on the weekend where it performed brilliantly! Also drove the work renowned apple cross!


I will update with pics soon!
