update on situation with cars, currently waiting for orange car to have engineer to come c if its repairable or written off, other party has accepted fault tho so i have a hire car at the moment, 1.4 astra!! nice car fair play

moved the jagcorsa out of shed yesterday to take a look at the gears cos i dont have some, found the prob just need that sorting, realised that with the car as low as it is not its never gonna be able to moce anywhere! even on flat surfaces - lol



also took at trip up to c the mini that someone posted few days ago, for me next project, this one to be everyday car, there are good and bad points!!
ben the owner who was really nice chap and complete nutter for going mad on a mini took me out for spin in the car and the centre driving position is actually very good, i never drove it but sat in it and didnt feel at all unnatural!!!! been done really well and love the car, just needs finishing off

He can't drive the JagCorsa, Imagine if Iaz was using it as his day to day car, and the bird drove into the orange car, drove into the back of the JagCorsa.
There is so much work gone into the car, just for the insurance to write it off.
Leave it as a show car

i got a question, you spend ££££ on the car, you got your medal. (see ya on max power dvd but do you make any money out of having a show car? do companys pay you show they can have your car in there adverts? personally i would of thought it is just for self pride. which is cool. i think the jag corsa is the sexiest corsa i've ever seen

its a shade off dyna rod orange cos that colour is trade marked so u cant get it!
and to be honest the colour is brighter in the flesh, ar has had bk wheels all its life i think cos it was/is in the bk catalog, he had a blow out few days ago which is y one standard wheel is back on it!
the car has alot of potential just needs finishing off and think it wud be cool everyday car! also only 3 years old! dont look like i am getting it at the moment tho
