Well, I WAS going to sort out my exhaust as most of the mount are damaged resulting in the annoying thing resting and rattling on the rear beam and I was going to put the CAT back on...Also I was going to swap a rear wheel for the spare as it has a FUCKING puncture.

BUT....I wake up on this day with these jobs in mind and its fucking RAINING! Evil or Very Mad

I hate this country sometimes. it hasnt rained for weeks around here...bastard typical!

Evil or Very Mad again

typical eh

changign the mounts is easy matey, pop down to the shopping centre go for somethign to eat/a wandfer then the exhaust will have cooled enough for tyou to fit the mounts in the comfort of a dry car park! Thats what i do

I have stuff to do but cba

whilst the car was jacked i realised the handbrake was doing fuck all on that side, i could spin it by hand with the handbrake on! but its working ok with the foot brake it would seem as both sides of the disc are nice and clean

Anyway, there she is in all her glory...stylish huh.

I love 16V steelies, heavy though ain't they!

D'n'B lacks emotion and is too disjointed to be able to dance to however there is a new genre trying to break thru which has the bassline from D'n'B and the melodies from trance
the likes of ILS and concord dawn are bridging the gap with some very exciting results
