thankfully i had a towbar fitted, as without it, i dare say i would be writing something like, she's been written off folks.....

 

but i'm not, the car was involved in a low speed shunt at a set of traffic lights today, lights had turned to amber/red so i stopped, but the car behind me didn't.

people slate me for having a tow bar but i think i can say it saved the car...

 

i'll be honest, it was an accident, i'm not pissed off or angry, i'm upset and gutted as it's another job to sort out.

 

in other news,

i have had 4 bridgestone a001 tyres fitted, and they grip really well.

as for the future (if i don't get shunted in to it......) collecting some replacement wheels next week, still got a LPG kit to fit in the new year, that's gonna also need adjustable suspension to compensate for the extra weight of the tank, dunno if i'm gonna go Mister-R or air. probably the latter as I'm in the trade....

 

also looking at doing a engine and gearbox rebuild as there both starting to show the milage (180000).... looking at doing this 2 ways, get a 2nd hand engine and box, rebuild them and fit, then rebuild mine and sell on, or get a daily and vor the car and rebuild the current engine and box, and do a few other things to the car...

 

the latter is the prefered option....
