Got rid of those disturbing 12" RWD rims and put back on some factory steelies - painted black with some nicely chromed hubcaps.. mmm tasteful.

[k-trips]

painted the bonnet black to get rid of those shite white stripes and thought about it over a few beers - decided to lower it with me ball point pen.. - aint hydrospastic suspension sweet!!
chucked on some pick-a-part 13's steelies for good measure

if a group of sheep is a flock, a group of geese is a gaggle and a group of whales is called a pod.. what would you call a group of ADO16's??

I reckon if I reffered to them as a bottle of ADO16's it's a pretty good call..




looks like the minis in The Italian Job - yes... maybe The Italian Blowjob!!

then the steering rack came out - and a different one went in.. something was weird - that dude is putting it in the wrong side.

Got all the way to the Beach Hop..

[k-trips]

pretty much the extent of my cruising for the weekend at the beach hop - the clutch shit itself within 50metres of driving away on the first morning after arriving

[k-trips]

Drove back 600 odd clicks to Wellys with no clutch - oh I love the sound of gears gnashing!!

Fixed it when I got home and its been sitting outside my house in disgust ever since - maybe except one drunken cruise to palmy and the odd thrash to work when the wife takes the car to work.

Never to mind - massive BDA Car Gang cruise at New Years over the hill somewhere!! woohoo!!
That reminds me - I better check the oil and inflate the spare sometime in the next 6 weeks
