No facebook?! it's like this century's must have aha...

Call me old-fashioned, but as one of the first people to (a) develop a website in this country; and (b) have an email address (still in use), I've just seen no need for it or Twitter, I'm afraid....

I envy you, i wish i could get myself away from facebook. Life would be better. I'm thankful i killed my blackberry, as atleast i can't access facebook on the go currently, on the piece of s**t, early 2000's phone i'm using atm


And HURRAY ben for getting your car through its MOT at long last

Just a little update :devil:

So as everyone or most knows it passed MOT yesterday, so earlier today I took it for a long awaited spin about! So I did and took it to get washed and the engine steamed cleaned (which led to limp mode for a few miles ), nothing majorly done yet as in mods - that's to come soon!

But here's a lovely photo of her showing her natural shine and all that goodness! :slayer:

A little update on this lovely Saturday morning!

So I got a few advisories on my passed MOT certificate so I've sorted this one issue out which was the bump stops in the rear coils were loose/snapped so in other words just laying on their sides chilling out!

So here's a picture of the N/S bump stop before fixing it:



Yes, I used electric tape at one stage in attempt to hold it down - that failed obviously....

And this is what it looks like now!



Also here's a picture of the O/S:



Now I just have to sort my loose steering cowling out and that's my advisories all cleared!

On a bad note she's all dirty again, damn you weather!!!

New update!

So okay maybe the update above wasn't all that interesting but never mind
Here's an interesting one............



Yep, I've fitted an LED in my boot wired straight to the boot light and yes I know MESSY boot but ah well

Still looks nice I think......

That would be an headlight electric adjuster so you can adjust the beam height up and down basically, cause angel eye headlights come with manuals so i took these out of the factory headlights and attached them to them and they work

This helped me out alot, thanks!

I never remember having advisories for bumpstops. Before i changed my suspension due to it calapsing :') they had already fallen out haha

I guess it depends on the tester really some are picky and some aren't, besides advisories are only there to save the testers butt also to draw your attention to the issues your totally oblivious to or they like to think you are.....

Me though it's just pure laziness, saying that I wouldn't be lazy if it was a more serious issue but come on bump stops really?

Ah well.... :yum:

Just a mess about in Photoshop

New update

So I went out earlier to buy some tinting spray and thought I'd smoke my side repeaters and I'm happy with the result and the still flash a clear amber, so all good

Here's a picture of the side repeaters and working
