Well I have fitted a s/s exhaust to The Flying Banana and now she goes like a dream. Better speed and better mpg. Also I have had installed in the V8 a freeview box for less than £150.
Ooooppps!!! I appear to be on the wrong thread. Thought we was talking about what we have done to our car/s. Not having a go at one and other.
I'll just have to have another glass of Caolia Ilia. Hic!

No argument there.
I'll be thinking about that when I put fuel in, in the morning-If I can remember where the fuel cap is on a diesel.

Well hello all I thought I'd post here; normally post within the calm of the Chill Out Zone, but I'm really excited about my next mod; Xenon headlamps! Coming soon! I feel it will give the Leopardmobile some real presence and a slightly more stern face! After that Im going to upgrade my travel blanket; want one with my own tartan really...
