I drove the absolute ring out of it from G Dalton's back to mine! I'm surprised there wasn't some boring old cvnt poster on here giving out about people driving too fast for the conditions! (All some of them seen was spray
)
Answer: buy decent tyres and drive er on ta fcuk0 -
I love driving on the bmw but it just minces rear tyres
It still gets it but only when the tyres are fairly new them as they are coming to the end it gets treated real well for about a fortnight
Then destroyed on the way to the tyre man
I've to be up at 2 to bring a friend to the airport, the thoughts of it

The focus passed 130k km today seems like I have a lot of catching up to do with some posters on here . Where my dad works they have an almost identical focus van as mine only difference is it is 06. It has 320k km on it :eek: so it seems the 1.6tdci engine can do that sort of mileage.
In others news if it doesn't stop raining soon I won't be able to leave my house. It is located on a 4 mile back road that links two Main roads. My house is only a few hundredth metres from one end so we would always go that way if going anywhere. But there is a impassable flood there for four days so have to go the long way which is 3.5 mile of a road that is so narrow only one car can fit up if two meet you have to find a gate to pull into. Anyway that road has a few small floods on it too now. If it gets any worse I'll have to go looking for a snorkel for the focus :pac: :pac:0 -

Especially like the way I treated my e60 before I sold it.
Feckin rear tyres were bald.
Lets just say, cheap chinese tyres in the wet on a private road with the traction control fully off was some great fun.
I'm still recovering after choking half to death on the tyre smoke :P0 -

The plan (which has actually been going very well timeframe wise) is this
Friday 14th, tax and insure it get tracking and light alignment done
Week after, book nct, maybe get them on then
week after that, gauges bought and fitted, maybe
thats the plan so far 0 -

They will, still going for a sleeper though the thing i love most about it is there's absolutely no indication what so ever that it's a 2.3 turbo apart from on the engine cover :pac:
that and the cupholder :pac: I've had the car nearly a month and a half now and I'm still finding compartments in it :pac:0 -

If that's the case, don't bother making the tax crowd any the wiser Only if it was that easy! I love finding new contraptions in a car. I spend ages (even 18 months on) looking up hidden features in the mondy in case i've missed any! 0 -

Oh no it's registered as a 2.3 but i mean badgewise, like on a v6 alfa you know its a v6, on this, theres no indication at all
I love it too, it's part of the fun of having a new car :pac:0
