My new car... meet Ruby.

[Gally]

Sell the Golf to fund the expense.

Mental idea!!!!!!!!!

 

[Matt W]

What size are the front tyres? You could probably get some superautohappygrip tyres for £25 each.

 

[Chip-mk1]

She has a golf? I never knew...

Sell both and go travelling

Flol

 

[Philip.]

What about part worns?

 

[Laura]

Awesome fun and an amazing experience!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Awesome fun and an amazing experience!

Looks like you're going the wrong way !

 

[Laura]

well i dropped it off for its service and MOT this morning, had a list of little niggles for them to look at whilst its there, particularly a new noise tat started over the weekend, sounds like a slipping belt, increases with revs.

Will see what they come back with.

 

[Rob]

Hope you saved up your pocket money. :quiet:

 

[Laura]

well service and MOT are set prices so thats OK. I would say the prices are pretty reasonable.. but that would be a lie haha.

 

[Al_G]

How much is the service?

 

[Waitey]

Most service prices are set. Its the other bits that get you.

Like on the TVR, full big service with solid lifter adjustment = £600.

Cost to change two £1.16 bushes in the rear suspension = £532

 

[Laura]

Full 7 year service is £1200. Silly thing is they do the services based on 10k a year. Mines only on 12k yet this will be is 8th service including the 1st 1k oil change and check over.

 

[Rob]

Is there nothing that doesn't need to be done purely on time that you could have omitted?

 

[Cookie]

Incoming for sale thread?

 

[Dave..]

If you need to ask you can't afford tbh.

 

[Rob]

Just because you've got it, it's not always fun to spend it.

 

[Laura]

She wont be for sale for some time i do hope, i knew what i was getting into, ive gone into this with a money no object hat on. Im not cutting corners as i want it to be one of the best examples when i do come to sell it

 

[DB.]

Just because you've got it, it's not always fun to spend it.

​Boom!

 

[Cliotoby]

Just because you've got it, it's not always fun to spend it.

Lol, yer I can vouch for that.

What MY is the Aston Laura?

Inb4 Cliotoby is looking at PCPing one.

Why did you buy one in that colour then?

 

[Laura]

everyone loves the Toro red. It is stunningly beautiful.

Well its in the MOT station now (got a phone car from my mate "errrr whys your car in a crappy garage". i can only assume they sub contract the MOTs there)

Noooo, really? Not as if Audi Stockport do that either...

edit - sorry that came across as a little over sarky. Still bitter about Audi f**king up my MOT insurance and not allowing me to claim £750 for some broken springs because their half arsed outsourced MOT station failed to spot two broken springs.

 

[Laura]

Not really sure what thats got to do with this thead tbh?

plenty of people do it, dont have a jib at me for something a company i happen to work for does

 

[Budgie]

Forearms vs Freckles.

It's on.

 

[Rob]

I called him forearms in person the other day, he looked shocked.

I hope that Aston fits on their ramps ok...

 

[Waitey]

See edit. Calmy calmy.

I was genuinely stumped. Only Chris and Naith call me that in person, and I've not seen them for years

 

[Waitey]

You looked to have normal arms when I met you.

 

[Gally]

Did you just call him stumpy? Question goes out to both of you...

 

[JD]

Down. Crack pipe. The. Put. Kevin.

Ste, I do have normal arms. They use to be larger due to cycling and masturbating.

 

[JD]

I meant detailing.

 

[Tez.]

Ha!

 

[Laura]

had an owners meet yesterday, fallen in love with the v12 vantage... i like the idea of mine with the wheels on! *dreams*

 

[DanielJames]

I saw a V12 Vantage the other day flying around the ring,



but I don't think the V12 wheels on the V8 are a good idea.

Whats the difference between that and putting M3 wheels on a 320 for example?

 

[Martin.]

That's a bit different LOL.

More like putting turbo wheels on a normal 911. Which is fine in my opinion.

 

[Laura]

i has RS4 wheels on my TT, makes no odds to me, i wont be doing it anyway as ive just had new tyres all round but i think it looks beautiful!

 

[Matt W]

Out of interest, how much were the set of tyres? Just interested in the running costs of a proper car

 

[Martin.]

I'd guess the rears are £350 each and the fronts £300 ish each.

 

[cat171]

Great looking car, really nice - I know this thread started last year, but I've been off here for ages.

Love it!!! :approve:

 

[Laura]

not too far off that fitted etc, they are 19s are a bit of a pig, also have to be the AM9 varient of the Bridgestone tyre, well i guess it doesnt HAVE to be... but keeping everying "correct"
