Last month alone I spent £786 on Optimax and £577.31 on parts and labour. Previous month I spent £2500 in parts and labour, + £550 for some wheels and £300 refurbing them and the month before £2500 on parts. + I need a new diff and a load of silly little bits that got taken of and never returned from GPS. So in three months I have spent £6,427.31 on repares and upgrades. Proberbly more as I haven't added up the tweeks bills and a staggering £1,771.00 of Optimax. Thats £136 petrol aweek. Thats almost £40,000 pounds spent on this car in 2 years and 4 months excluding fuel. I'm going to sort the diff and then proberbly sell it. That is ma…

My 18" 5 spoke alloy wheels are going to be refurbed today - and I'm not sure if I should keep them silver painted or if I should polish them for a chrome effect? I don't think I have seen another set of chromed 5 spokes before... What do you think?

You lot are mad I'm off to bed after a hard evening at work. Night night.

i have been told that you could buy a bottle of this liquid that you add to the oil that softens up all seals and therefore makes them expand so that if there was a small leak ie;the tub seals,it would prevent the smoke exiting the exhausts.this is on sale in halfords for £4.99. i haven't tried it but was wondering if anybody else has? if this works i think it's a must for all our cars even if there appears to be no problems at the moment. what do you think? :hyper:

For all those men who say, Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free. Here's an update for you: Now days, 80% of women are against marriage, WHY? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage. Men are like.... 1. Men are like ...Laxatives ...... They irritate the crap out of you. 2. Men are like....Bananas ....... The older they get, the less firm they are. 3. Men are like ......Weather .... Nothing can be done to change them. 4. Men are like .......Blenders....

Tonight when i came home from work it was cold windy and pissin down, and there he was sitting on my door step meowing soon as he see me, i didnt have the heart to leave him out on a night like this so i let him come in he soon made himself at home, ended up cooking him turkey strips, bloody had better dinner than me. Thats it my good deed done. And another mouth to feed he gonna have to get used to kebabs lol. Only pussy im gonna get! :rolleyes:
