No problem! Yep, she's done more than 3k just this summer since I put the engine in. Built to be driven!  :D

Yes indeed, bit of tongue in cheek humour  :shifty:  it does make a lot of people a bit cross though haha

so, it's winter which means the car is buried in the garage under a cover, but I do have an update of sorts. 

 

Over the summer, I was lucky enough to meet up with a very talented photographer who took some brilliant shots of my car. These were to go with an article written about my car over on ILB Drivers Club (a very prominent brand in the modified car scene).

 

Figured I'd post a link to the article here for those interested, as well as a few of the photos to really do them justice  :D

Big news! If you picked up this months issue of Mini Magazine, then you may recognize the car on the cover if you're still following this thread  :mrcool:. I'm absolutely blown away by making the main cover spot for the second time. The photos are amazing, so I thought it put a few of my favorites up here!

My wheels are 13x8 all round, and I'm running Mexico arches, but they've been chopped about a little bit.
