    got a package today from :
    2d6qh6d.jpg

    containing Hyper Rev Magazine issue: 44 "Starlet". Containing 170 pages of most nearly every conceivable modification and extra available for the starlet. page after page of seats, bodykits, exhausts, struts, brakes, wheels, extras and so on. so quirky to look at and the spine of the book is on the opposite side so you rear the book from back to front so to speak. really happy with it.

    If you are going to sell her soon then why look to put more money in, or are you keeping her? Hope so as she is minty.

    Some "laaaaad" from the estate near me just informed me, my car would look "saaavage" with lambo doors :o

    I'm sorry I didn't notice that Opel's looked like Lamborghinis!

    Fooks sake. Changing the front brake discs, get the first done fine, go to do the second one and I find some gimp had stripped the head off the disc retainer screw. Balls.

    I think one of them is stripped at the factory because there is always 1!

    I had a spin in a 406 today and no wonder dgt loves them it was like driving about in a big cumfy couch. This one was 03 and very well finished too, I think I will buy one when the Avensis dies. Oh wait...... I will probably be dead first..
