Haven't posted on here in ages but thought I would share some details of my car. Used to have a 182 which I loved immensely but it was stuffed in the rear. My goal was to make this handle better than my 182 and to be fair it has taken a while to get there. The balance through the corners now...
Awesome weather today meant I could actually give the car the full once over. So much crap stuck to the car meant the claying took about 45 minutes alone.
Anyway comments and slating welcome in equal measures!
Had my JCW spoiler fitted a couple of weeks back that I picked up of Englebert ageesss ago. Poor iPhone pic with car dirty unfortunately. Just highlights how badly the handles, fuel cap and rear lights need to be dechromed.
Will wash soon and get proper pics up. Comments welcome. BTW...
Been playing with CS4 for the first time and boy am I impressed. Just had a play around with my mates old car and tried doing a few mods to mine (lowering, tinting, blacking out door handle etc). Come out pretty well I think!
C&C welcome
What can I say... its an absolutely amazing machine.
Just had it delivered today, bought as a pressie for the missus as she needs it for Final Cut Work. What the hell was I doing using a PC at home??
Highly recommended for anyone contemplating a mac purchase. Oh an try and get a mate at...
Wanted to give the car a full on detail today but locked myself out of the house without the keys and had to go on a two hour detour to pick up another set. Good thing I didnt leave the phone inside!
Just a wash and dry in the end. Next mods will be to dechrome rear lights, oz carbon centre...
Picked up these babys yesterday for the bargain price of £100. BMW wanted around £400 each.
Have already started taking them apart in preparation for the goodness to come. The outer rings are being colour coded in 668 Black 2 as per the car body colour.
Will be removing the glass to...
I have had my canon 350d for a while now and have been hankering after a new lens for sometime now. Im not a pro so no concered with really high end lenses but just wanted something suitable for everyday use that lets you get a little creative.
I initially was looking at a 17-85mm canon ef-s...
The car was absolutely filthy and needed a top up on the wax so gave it a full wash this afternoon. Gone for minimal protection whilst the weather is good. Quick coat of poorboys blackhole and one coat of EGP.
Unfortunately the pics are not all that due to them being taken with an Iphone...
Contemplating getting rid of my reclining buckets for something a bit lighter and more supportive. What fixed buckets do you guys recommend and are they any good for long journeys for the odd time I may mission a few hours up the Mway to Devon / Wales now and again.
Car is a daily driver, so...

Changed the old heavy 18's for a set of OZ super t gt's. Car handles much better now and acceleration and mpg are much improved. Getting them refurbed in GT3 orange along with the mirror caps. Should be done by end of next week.

Gave my mates car a little once over this Sunday. Paintwork in good order, but we did a coat of Poorboys Black Hole glaze and a coat of Collinites 476.
Came out rather well and gave a bit more of a warm reflection to the paintwork. Bit of a shame he is putting it up for sale now though.
As it was such a nice day, I thought I would give the mini a once over. I spent about 2 hours on the wheels as they had loads of etched in brake dust. Had to clay away for ages and then used auto glym srp, then egp cured for one hour then a layer of collinites 476.
Im not too happy with the...
As it was such a nice day today, I decided to leave work early and clean up the engine bay.
Hadnt done it since I picked up the car back in September and as she had just passed her MOT on monday, I thought I would spruce it up a bit. Still need to get busy with a bit of metal polish, but...
Was average to say the least, but the people that turned up were very sound! Even harry potters mate ron weasley with a ginger range rover sport put in an apperance too!
and a few of mine...
