My Mates Crash!
i agree totaly drinking and driving is just reckless....it costs many lives every year and much more mysery for years there after.......when i was 17 and had my mini clubman , i had been out with the lads for some "shandies" after Karate ....underage drinking i know..but i supose most lads have done it .....got home at 11pm felt fine felt sober had only drank 6 pints ....decided to take my car for a spin as this drink driving rubbish as i thought then was all talk..besides as i said i felt fine and sober....got in and drove off...only got about 200 yards a cat ran in front of me i lost control mounted the pavement only feet away from a man and wife walking home from the club .....it could have been much much worse...i simply in my state had not seen them.....i have NEVER even had a half if iam driving and will not drive the next day if ive had a skin full......

any gardeners?
so long as the ground is fairly peaty you can plant some heathers in there ....they will look after themselves they come in all kinds of colours and smell nice ......also sprinkle some bulbs in there for crocus and snowdrops and dwarf daffodils , they will just multiply year after year and need no maintenenace other than to thin them out every now and again ...self seeding flowers are good for splashes of colour through the year , poppies , marigolds, etc dont forget to plant things with different heights, and in lots of 3 or 5

Running Rich
running over rich can lead to bore wash ..where the excess fuel effectively de greases the cylinder walls removing the oil ..the obvious then occurs and the cylinders get worn and scored .......just a heads up as its happened to afew people i know that ignored the car running over rich ......( it was down to incompetent mapping by so called tuners )

front bumper mod
serioulsy mate ..take it back is not an aoption as you have modified it and they will probably be able to tell ..its not as sold to you and unfortunatley they have the legal right not to accept it....the only recourse would be through a small claims court and have them on item sold not fit for purpose, hopefully they will not inspect it as they know its a bad fitting item anyway and give you a refund....good luck whatever way you go .....

hubcentric spacers
i supose the safer bet ..but LOTS more expensive, is to have custom split rims made up with the desired offset to give the stance needed but retain the original bolts without spacers ? ?
