been away from scooby ownership for nearly two years this Feb.
but this last year has seen me adding to the Smart family by buying a second smart.
june this year saw a almost basic standard Roadster come up from London to my place in Nottm.
before pic
within a few weeks saw a transformation with
colour coded front and rear 'grey' bits. £200
huge 17"s inc tyres £1000
100bhp remap £399
Lambo doors £1600!!!!! EEEEEEKKKKKKK
after
I know not having a Scoob should save me money and the HP i've not had to pay over these almost two years has kept my a bit more bouyant... but no matter what car you have you can hit the credit cards!! lol
Who else has changed the look of their car in 2005???
Merry Christmas

got bodykit,spoiler and cf bonnet siting downstairs waiting to go on the fto when she goes for a respray,,,
may be a few months now however as i bought a 944 as a winter car and its bloody expensive running a insurance group 18 FTO and a group 19 944 at the same time
also got a restoration planned for the 944 to bring her back up to as new condition so may cost a few grand

Sorry I dont really get the whole smart car thing, roadster, four4 or normal. Frankly I'd rather get the bus.
Wheels are ace tho
Sell it and get another scoob

hasnt exactly been an easy year for me. After getting used to the xe power i ended up buying a c20let and 6 speed box that was @ phase 1, one thing lead to another and i ended up with phase 3.5 and everything else needed, fuel pump, injectors, fpr etc. Ended up getting some konig sport coilovers as i could not longer stand my koni yellows and also purchased some psg wide arches. After crimbo time for me to start saving my pennys to build my bank balance back up

i hated it, drove it for less than 3 weeks after buying it. the plan was to kit it up the way i wanted it, wanted a rally look car really. that pic was taken in june i think and its still the same. problem is tho my private reg is on it and the car needs an MOT before i cna get the reg off so iv given it to a mechanic i know well and he is storing it until he can be arsed to get it roadworthy again
so no plans for it for me, i jst want my damn reg off it
