    LOL @ the tractor!

    Wish I could have that many cars!

    It's a hoot indeed :P

    There's about 17 cars here last time I counted... Not including actual tractors, vans or the Landy :eek:

    About 17, I'd genuinely need to go out and count them all :o

    Still plenty of room in the garden for more cars though :p

    'twas the night before Christmas
    And all through the yard
    Not a jammer was stirring
    Not even a ford
    The cars were all parked, and not in the way
    In the hopes that they wouldn't get a belt of a sleigh

    The owner was all snuggled up in his bed
    Wondering how to diplomaticly lock the clamping thread
    And mother whose thoughts hardly contained
    A diesel i30 properly maintained
    We'd all settled down from a night on the beer

    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
    A bit like a passat when its on full chatter
    I wouldn't have gotten out of the scratcher
    If I wasn't on the batter

    When I looked at the sleigh
    I couldn't believe my eyes
    It was powered by a pair of 1.9 TDIs
    I spotted the slightly blue LEDs on his belt
    And right then I knew he aspired to be 'felt

    I saw on his face, all the fun and the frolicks
    The sticker saying 'lower than a snakes bollix'
    The 18 inch Kahns
    The 8" sunvisor was somewhat symbolic

    He was dressed in all red
    From his head to his foot
    The back of the sleigh was all covered in soot
    I'd assume he was fond of planting the foot
    Probably used to driving around town like all fielters do
    And with every gear change
    Comes the legendary 'boo'

    For the Hyundai he left a small gift
    An eBay chip, for that extra 'lift'
    And for the Civic, which I think looked ****e
    He bathed underneath with a sea of blue light
    Now I'm not usually one to question ones taste
    But a felty decision is one made in haste

    He sprang to his sleigh
    And flew out of sight
    That omnipresent 'boo'
    That sounds total ****e
    Im sure I heard him say 'merry christmas to all, and to all a good night'

    But I can't be sure

    And... yes there is an Irish plate saying "Ireland" on the back shelf. Need to find a way to affix it properly!

    ^^^^ Very nice, driving that car, in the California mountains with that scenery some could say thats living the dream.

    Just starting to strip down the 850CSi intake manifold to the rocker covers. Going to replace the intake manifold gaskets (EUR170 each!), a rocker cover gasket, some hydraulic lifters, maybe some rocker arms and if Im feeling really brave, the valve stem seals.

    I bought a second set of intake manifolds and some honing tools (Flexhone) and honed/bored them out. Going to paint it up and replace my ones (which can be sold), here they are in primer:

    Right here's mine, 2.7L Audi A5.

    Looks well, like those wheels on the A5, forecourt in Ranelagh? Multitronic? What's the tax on the 2.7tdi?

    Price to pay for owning exotic cars. What are you complaining about?

    Yep, thats the forecourt in Ranelagh alright. Wheels are originals afaik, I certainly didnt change them. Bit scuffed now, so need to drop them in to be repaired. Its a 08 so tax is 750 :( but luckily insurance not too high.. and yep, multitronic too. Reasonably fuel efficient (I get about 45 MPG).

    thanks, but as i said. I am a student and can't afford a lowering kit and alloys. :)

    Please don't put these on a Corsa even if you have the cash. Seriously! Nothing worse than a badly done up car. Its still a Corsa

    Yep oem wheels alright, but not a lot of people went for them, not standard in any of the packs afaik, option only. 750 is ok relatively speaking, it would have been what 1345 a year now on engine size if 07 or earlier?
