Not today but on Tuesday :)

Fitted lowered suspension all round on Bilstein shockers and Apex springs.... :) no longer feels like Im driving a boat LOL

Starting to come back to me how to avoid speed bumps ...... and where they're located....



Repaired (ish) both rear arches, should be good for a few more miles I reckon :)

 ;D  :y

I know that feeling! Not sure people behind have much patience though  :-\

I got beeped at going into Oxford services on the M40 the other day as the fella behind clearly thought I was going over the (fairly enormous) speed humps too slowly..

.. he then spent his time trying to overtake me in the carpark  ::) so I made the M3 very wide indeed..

I make 'em wait..... I also piss 'em off too when they tailgate me and I switch on the cruise at 25 :)

I should probably add, that it drove beautifully, very swift, but deceptively so as there is absolutely no drama when you plant your right foot, just instant acceleration. Very well screwed together, looks and feels solid and the chassis is a work of art 8)

I had no expectations before driving it (having never driven so much as a milk float), and left very, very impressed.

A doddle to drive in traffic, and on the motorway, accelerating into a gap is so quick it needs alot of care, but no wallowing, little roll and just enough road noise to remind you that you're actually in a car... wasn't as surreal as I thought it might be. And certainly alot more agile than a 2.1 ton car deserves to be ::)

£1300 pm is alot on the face of it, but I currently use about £1000 of diesel each month... if the lease rates can get below a grand (broadly the cost of buying and running an lpg Zafira) then it is worthy of serious consideration...

He also told me that it made a change to see a car that was looked after, not just driven in and could not give a toss.
Made me chuckle. ;D ;D ;D
