Yeah I like the fat arse look. Handles even better now and speed bumps are ignored as she glides over them. Next job is a total respray. Oh and maybe more lift...waiting on that.

The billet spacers are quite safe.

Had a go at the virtual lift today...a very bad idea as I can barely walk now. Going to the physio tomorrow so fingers crossed he can fix this. Bugger.

Yikes! Hope you're ok, buddy. I was going to start harassing you to go laning, but perhaps I should let you recover first!

At the moment the Vit is the only car that works and the seats are killing me. Piglet 6's seats are very comfy but I need to put in a new throttle cable...unlikely at the mo!

Alex - just noticed that we have the *exact* same post count! Very weird.

Except that I'm beating you now with this one... :lol:
