Bad Car !

[Valentino Mossy]

Exhaust broke on the saxo the other night so I cant use it until pay day , when I can get a new one.

woo hoo I thought, Good exuse to use the bike for back and forward to work till the end of the month.
Came home last night to find out when I put my poxy wheel trims back on the pimp mobile the other night, I had cut into the bloody valve of the tire !--- Fooked Flat tire !

Lucky I got the Bike !!!

Oh and I got banned from bringing the bike into the compound in work, Because it "Smells" ! I cant help it if everybody gets addicted to the nice aroma of 2 stroke !
Have to park it out in the carpark

Anybody else having "one of those days " ?

I've grown out of that stuff , It turns out no matter how much money you throw at a car, you wont get it back when you come to sell it . ( Thats coming from a bloke who spent over a grand on his mx5 !)
I was cruzing around tesco with my mother when it snapped, while listening to DMX and Eminem

Um, Its snapped off right by where the centre pipe enters the the rear box.
Back box has gone/going as well , so i tried "bodging" it back it to the back box and taping it up with the proper tape, but it did'nt hold.

Every time I look at it I just laugh ! (No dirty thoughts please !) [/img]

That is the most common place for them to go so don't worry too much.

The reason I was asking is because if it had gone right at the front you have got to make sure you check the gearbox mount as they do wear out and snap exhausts.

Can't you just turn the engine off and wheel the bike into the compound then?

Saxo`s are actually quite nice to work on, much better than xantias.

Do you get many "boy racers " in with their fully modified saxos which they've fecked up ?

I stuck a push button start to the mx5 when i had it, and "forgot" to disconnect the battery, causing the car, when i started it up to lock out the immobliser, and not allow me to start the car !
Had to get a tow truck to take me 30 miles to mazda, to have all the keys and the immobliser reprogrammed and allmost buggering up the ECU etc.. (according to mazda )

yours ?
Always been wary of nitros, quite like the idea of sticking a super charger in the mx5 at one point... From 150bhp up to about 200bhp if I can remember.

Had a look, bit OTT but nicely done
I hate it when they start putting vents and bloody big spoilers everywhere, If your going to mod it keep it simple and sweet not OTT.

BTW Are those eccotec valves any good ?

They do save you a bit on fuel and they don't do anything for performance at all.

Hey Kev... what are the C5's like then ? I might be getting one as a company car very soon!
</off topic>

Hope you get the Saxo fixed soon lilldic, although you might find that you prefer using the bike

[kev]

C5`s are generally nice cars but they are very bland unless you get the V6.

Tire sorted !
But it's strange how using the bike day in day out the novelty starts to wear off.
Thus today being halfday (overtime) I deiced to treat the neighbours to my loud choice in music to muffle the fact I aint got the back box on !
And now I'm going out to give the Ns a thrashing once the cops come around
( Barstard kids just set my neighbours fence alight, Fireman little_dick was the hero as ever !)
Supprising how fast those willow type fences go up in flames !

Still waiting for a bike but have got my four wheels already sorted. 1973 MG Midget soft top. True its old and not as fast as a modern thing, but can work on it myself and will only get more valuable as time goes on! (My Mum has had it at 90 before though, speedo runs out at 100)
Not sure about the citroens. Look quite cool but not really my cuppa tea. Prefer the old stuff. More simple.
