Default Back in the saddle

As some of you maybe read on another thread i had a wee accident in my car at the end of february - silly billy.

anyway, i eventually got it back from the garage on friday and took her out for a serious drive today to make sure everything was hunky, and indeed, dory.

i'm glad to report that everything seems to be cool except for one thing - the electric softop isn't working - i had the hardtop on the car when i had the accident and something to do with the softop must have been knocked out of place but the garage never bothered checking that - can't really blame them but i'd have thought they'd have tested everything on the car. so i'll need to call them tomorrow and get it back over to them.

managed to swing some 04 alloys for the S as two of my 03 alloys were damaged in teh accident. also got them powdercoated in anthracite (gun metal).

to say i'm pleased with the alloys would be an understatement

I just want to point out that slammed cars go faster as there is a lot less drag
