Sportys shit(e). Another small bit of tinkering and MOT.

Thought I might have a go at documenting my shite this year. I'm not sure itll be interesting and maybe there wont be much to see, but here goes. 

Started January by selling the Alfa on here. Got the Saab back from Mrs S, so needed to get her something.  

Browsing Facebook,  and our very own Cavcraft popped up, with something to fit the bill. So today, I went to the legendary lock ups.....

A deal was struck, and we drove away in a slice of Ellesmere Ports finest. 

Now at Sporty Towers.

More dullness today. Changed oil and filter, and gave it a wash and vac. Mrs S likes it, so it's all good.

Gave the Saab and wash and vac, and took some new pictures for a fresh Facebook ad. Looking forward* to the replies.

After a few no shows, a lovely lady came to look at the Saab tonight. Had a drive, had a nice chat, then made a sensible bid, paid and drove it away. 

Faith in buying public is restored. 

Now looking for my next lump of chod.

Collection?

I was thinking that maybe you'd bought the V70 d5, but that's not a short collection, it'd be more of a middling one. Is it the bora tdi then? 

My old bora is one of the cars I did the most miles in, around 85k. Despite all of their faults they're a decent mile muncher. Bilstein b4 shocks and Audi A3 sport seats made mine more suitable for me.

So the Astras noisy turbo didn't last as long as I thought it might. It's now off the road until I can get round to sticking another blower on it. 

So now, I'm searching for something to keep Mrs S mobile. I tried to give her the Bora, but in her words, "it's like a taxi." 

RUDE.

FFS Man, I'm betting you're kipping in the back of that van!

Nah, she's getting used to it. It's not like she has to drive it.

It's already nice a d low at the back, but it needs a drop up front. It will get this.  Quite like the wheels, and as for the bonnet...... CARBON FIBRE YO

Assume it is still an SDi?

"Do you even vape bro?"

Yes, it's still an SDi. 

No, I'm not a hipster.

No. I'm right to go lower. And will be doing so, even though I'm probably far too old for this shit. 

Junior Sporty loves this van  so it's going to be a bit of a lad and dad project. As he's only 9, this will possibly involve snow camo wrap!

Cutting it between the spring compressors seems brave, especially one handed

I'm not that daft. That was purely a taste of things to come.

It does actually suit it being slammed. 

That's the spirit. You'll be in a Golf on coilovers in no time!
