Hi all

 

After following the forum for a while now and making the odd post I have finally bought a car.

 

Its an ltb NA, which once the rain stops I may be able to take some pics of.

 

Big shouts to turboluca who spent at least a whole day faffing about with the car for me.  Cant say enough good about the chap.

 

So far spent more time fiddling than actually driving (no great surprise) but hoping once the weather clears that'll change.

 

I hope to get involved so hopefully see some of you around.

Look forward to some pics! Once you start tinkering you won't stop soon you'll be looking at this then that and before you know if you've spent 10 grand and thinking where the f**k has all my money gone!! Maybe it's just me :lol:

thanks all.

 

I did intend on buying a pretty standard NA then perhaps doing some stuff to it later....  pretty sure if id had driven a sc car that would have changed my mind as well!!
