Leaving the fold

[muddyboots]

Lee, i would dearly love to buy your Beeza.

having nursed a pet hate for small cars since my XR2 17 years ago, i don't feel the Ibiza as a "small" car.

spec of yours nearly matches my pug (even in it's executive form), but
#1- like you, all our money is being saved for a new house
#2- don't think i could cope with 2 mk4 eclipse 3-door ibiza's parked on the same driveway

i will be so jealous of whoever ends up with yours (even if it's windscreen deep in sh1te)

did you get my e-mail with new pics of Vick's SX for your site???

i hope you keep the site running

Regarding point 1) - it might be cheaper than you think, as it's done a few more miles than average (full history though, and I've changed the oil every 5k too )
And point 2 - well me and the other half had two identical looking K reg metallic grey Clios on the drive a few years ago, can't be worse than that

I have got the pics by the way, plus some from one or two others, must get round to putting them up !
The site will stay running as long as the income from the Google ads covers the hosting fees...

Would love to see an A2 at the Ring! One thing I would say about the A2's is watch the gear knob, if it has the silver ring around the top as if you wear rings it makes it really sharp and can cut your hand open as I have found out on a few customer cars

You're right there.. I need a new knob as the silver ring on it has a sharp bit on it. Are such things warranty items!?

Stockport replaces them under warranty...but I didn't tell you that. Go for the "My wife cut all her hand open" trick

Shame you're moving on Lee - some of your how-to's have been most helpfull to me

No problem mate.. I found it out from someone on the A2OC

Cheers - you'll have to buy a Passat now then

You work for Stockport Audi then ?
If so, not very far from me...can you do any SCN discount for VW parts bought from an Audi dealer ??!

Did you use the rear calipers off Mikes axle in the end?

Thanks Stew, the 17" alloys make all the difference. It may well be given the aluminium construction and the construction techniques used...

'Tis a shame your moving to the Dub side,

On to bigger and heavier things i suppose,

good luck with the new ride.

Only thing I bought off Mike were the front wishbone mounting brackets.
