fancy welding your front panel back together ;)
i brought a new one and just cut the part i needed out and welded it in lol
its 1 of those jobs you think ill do this to get it on the road and dont change it till it breaks:roll: but seriously its probably as strong as the original 1

Cool. (for Fast Car)
cant wait for TOTB, what other vaux's are going?
i know paul off here is going , myself, gav is taking his corsa, and rob in his astra not sure who else is going but cant wait my self. goner try a few different things over the next few weeks managed a 12.4 at pvs would love to break the 11's at totb but will be hard.
Chris s, Specky and a few others I think are on the team, its not as big as large years but I have no doubt you can all do well on the 1/4 and top speed.
Rob can't do it due to work commitments so thats him ruled out :(
All the best though Gareth, I expect it will go very well !
Nice feature Gareth! I wont be there, cant justify the best part of a grand for one day!
cheers jonlem hopefully all will go well
paul howcome its costing you so much (dont let the nova side down nowlol )
Get well soon dude,
Just picked up the mag too. Looks good.
cheers benn ill let you know when im back in work and sort that exhaust out

True i was more kinda asking lol, ive never run a car at pod, but have dont some runs on concrete so i dont kno the diference
I just bought Fast car just for the poster of this and the corsa VXR lol
yea i went out and got fast car for the read.
think im gonna rob the idea for the pins at the sides of the front bumper lol nice one. good feature fella top motor
ive never run on concrete before but as james said at least its a disadvantage for everyone . weve booked into a campsite (well field) 5 mins down the road as its a 4 1/2 hour drive for me.
glad you like the poster cle i got it on the wall in the garage
Poster is awesome mate had a flick through an opened fast car in the shops today lol nice feature well done :thumb:

lol @ James, good to see all my names being used :thumb:
Can you PM the details of the campsite, as there is no onsite camping this year me and a mate are considering going up early saturday and doing some local fishing (no sad comments please lol) then having a few shandies saturday night, camping is always cheaper than hotels !
