Not me, my girlfriend lol
She finally got a provisional and started doing a bit of driving, so i said 'you buy the car and ill sort it out if it needs any work'
So i ask myself why i clicked on stu's for sale thread while she was looking at the screen. She loved it. I called stu and he rekoned all it needed was a waterpump, which he had, and there was a slim possibility it needed a head gasket. When we got there to pick it up, the ****er wouldnt even start, so i broke every rule in the book buying that car!! Probably because i trust big gay stu, and partly because it wasnt my money lol

Charged the battery and got it started, so that was a bonus. Spent a few hours on sunday changing the water pump, and went for a test drive. The temp guage shot up and the header tank pressurised like a mofo. Feck it!
So today, this was the scene outside my house when all my tools were in Bristol, a good hours drive away, so i was struggling a bit lol I also found out that the bloke who last changed the cam belt cant time up engines for sh1t! Stu, did you find it a bit sluggish as it was well retarded!

Took her out for a lesson this evening, im pretty sure all the engine mounts have been yanked loose from all the kangerooing lol lol She also managed to ram it into first from 2nd while accelerating. Hopefully she'll blow it up so i can whack a proper engine in!
Runs like a dream now, im going to rag its tits off to bristol tomorrow and see if it explodes lol Got some mirrors off the green one and a parcel shelf, then i can sort out the god aweful tracking and ride height problems lol
