Car looking good mate.

Whats with the random 172 wheel?

 

[martynrg]

Cheers!

Ha, it looks a bit naf! I've gotta nail in my other wheel, need to nip to Pem Tyres and get it sorted.

I've not played footy for about 12 months, so I'm in fookin agony now lol

Was meant to be playing tonight aswell, but twisted my ankle abit at work today so just went to the gym instead.

Pem tyres is a nightmare, properly hate going there, only really do because I get everyhting for free through my grandads firm luckily.

 

[martynrg]

I agree to be honest. They goosed my dads car up about a year ago fiddling around with the tracking. I've heard some other shocking stories about them as well. It's probably the only I go with because of the ease.

I've had that wheel on for ages though, handles like a dog lol!

 

[RDH]

Yeah I've heard some bad stories aswell. I just find Alan to be abit of an arsehole, along with 100% of his employees.

 

[martynrg]

Lol.

I don't mind him. I don't know him mind, it's probably because I like his F355

 

[RDH]

^ He looks like a failed pornstar in that haha.

You park your car in upholland sometimes mate? I saw a silver 182 couple of weeks ago with 172 and 182 wheels on, thought it was a bit odd lol

Im at the soccerdome (..well gym) 3 nights a week so prob pass you at some stage

 

[RDH]

^ What nights you go the gym mate?

Suprised I've never seen you car there I'm there most nights.

 

[Cunney]

Monday Wednesday and friday generally bud, ive only had it 4 weeks, tend to go around half 8ish, say hi if you see us you'll know if its me as ill be the smallest fella in the free weights area lol

 

[martynrg]

you'll know if its me as ill be the smallest fella in the free weights area lol

That would be my description if I ever went!

Yeah sometimes park up in Up Holland near the Co Op. I'll have to keep my eye open for you Cunney. What you think of your car then, 4 weeks in. Enjoy it?

 

[Cunney]

Yeh love it mate, already put 3000 miles on it lol, had it down snakes pass, santa pod, down to weymouth and back, so its been well tested and the french haters (i.e every1 i know lol) are starting to back down with the 'it'll break' comments..

I had a period of a week or two where I got used to it and it felt normal but then I stripped the rear and the sound has just brought all the excitement right back again

I do feel though that I aint getting the most from the car driving wise round the corners and that so I think I'm going to look into a track day on my own with it where someone can tuition me a bit

 

[martynrg]

Good stuff!!

I did a track day at Oulton in April and it was an ace day. Doing another at the end of this month hopefullly. Get one booked, you'll love it.

I think I seen you yesterday actually driving past the Abbey Lakes (or the Raj Gate, or whatever it's called these days). Is it a 55 reg?
