Richie's "Redzer" rebuild
I found the same Jay. However It’s got a warranty on it, I marched in with it on a Saturday when they were busy with the original packaging and moaned a lot. They didn’t ask too much about when I purchased it. Think they wanted me out the way. :lol: I got a new one. ;)

You will want the large I expect. The medium isn’t wide enough.

Rolling road session?
Oh I could get it back sorted in a day/weekend. Only a few things to sort; Bleed the brakes Dress the rear bumper tab Install an expansion tank Refit the wheels & Fix the electrical fault thats stopping the blower working. I just haven’t had the interest. I’ve just had enough of spanner’s and screwdrivers atm.

Rolling road session?
Because selling it would pay my solicitors bill and leave me with one less thing to sort out. I’m gearing upto some stressful stuff.

Rolling road session?
The only way to avoid bresking the car is to never use it Jeff, even driving like miss daisy could be the coffin nail. I hear your concerns but there’s little difference between giving it death on a deserted A road to on a RR other than someone, who hopefully knows what they are doing is monitoring things. I had mine on the rollers the year before last. Partly for curiosity but mostly because I wanted to set up the boost controller up in a controlled environment where AFRs could be monitored. It allowed us to turn the boost up run after run without pulling over. It was all very safe and useful tbh.

Today in "people that need to have their tools taken away"
Pretty much as you say, I can see where he was going it just wasn’t executed well. From 10m away or passing you at 50mpgh it probably looks pretty good. I like the wheels. I like the fender flares, the fronts are missing in this video. If the skirts and front wings were finished properly they would also look good. If he spent the time he wasted making that rear spoiler finishing the skirts and stuff it wouldn’t look half bad. He’s gone batman on a budget and skill shortage.i believe the phrase is, if all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail...

New Road Tax rules arriving this April..........sweet.
Cheers for the experienced advice there, it’s definitely owned by us I remember that but quite distinctly. I can’t recall the exact name but I basically took a loan out with a company as a third party. So I guess it isn’t a PCP. It was three years ago now so maybe I’ve mis remembered some of it. I had three options at the end. I’ve got to look at it later anyway because the mortgage advisor will want to see it tomorrow. I’m very much expecting to chop it in, not because it’s done but just to keep the ball rolling so to speak. I’ve been very anal with it for obvious reasons, it needs an allot returned before I hand it back but it’s otherwise unmarked. They’ve started sending me invites etc, I gues they want me to chop in early.

Oh Christ, the amount of people that chop a car in for minor faults because “well it’s getting on now” at three years old is crazy. Still there’s plenty of people out there with too much money and not enough common sense, only got to look at house prices for that to be clear.

With all due respect your friends have shit implusive deals. A few of us have gone this route and it’s worked out very well, if your sensible. My wife’s car is on a PCP plan I think it is (basically a loan). So we do own the car, we have a guaranteed value if we sell it back which is higher than the outstanding loan. The deposit was the value of her old car, not much. Works out about £150 a month over 46 months, with 0% interest, then we have multiple options. Cars worth just short of 20k. This equals safe, reliable motoring and if it breaks it’s going to be a warranty job which gets me off the spanner’s. £150 a month isn’t nothing but it’s not much. I paid more than that for my first cars insurance :pinch: people rinse that on crap like mobile phones and sofas on contacts. The point I’m making is it can work very well if your sensible.

It was over £1.50 a litre not that long back for a long time don’t forget. We’ve had a nice holiday last year or two on petrol prices.
