Scooby,

Will take you out in it anytime. I will pm you with the cost but publically I can say that the new car cost exactly the same as I got for my old car.
I've just seen my old car go off the drive about 5 minutes ago. It was a sad day but Iam lovin' the new motor!!

Hi there,

It really easy to get 450-550 BHP from it. upto 500BHP on a standard engine. Problem is that I'll need £3K gearbox work before I can do this. So this will have to wait. Still though 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and 180MHP top end will keep me happy for a while...

Last Thursday I decided to sort out my driver's seat which has suffered from wear to the side bolster as you get in and out. This was the only thing wrong cosmetically with the interior. I used a product called Gliptone www.liquidleather.com
I've used them before and the results are amazing.
Here's my picture site for sad before and after shots

Hi there, you don't fill the cracks they are still there, just cover them over slightly. If you try and fill cracks and scuffs then it looks crap. Dye for 4 seats costs £18. They either have makes of cars in stock or if they haven't then you send them a smaple. I cut a small piece from under my seat, sent it on Friday. Dye came following Wednesday. Also I ordered some conditioner which makes it supple again. It also blends it all back in and give the leather smell back into it. All came to £25 inc postage. I then bought a hobby air brush from Halfords in Bidston for £20. this sound a bit expensive but if a few of you were doing it then you could share this.
My interior is like brand new now, saves a few hundred quid getting it recovered.
