Like i said i have to take things easy, get everything straight and in order, new tyres is a must but want A/T's and struggling to find any with the profile needed. Dont want to take the WB kit off or change wheels so have to think about lifting it to get higher profile tyres.... Will worry about that when needed..

For now it will be a nice 2nd car for throwing my Kayak on the roof, dogs in the boot and enjoy some lanes. Nothing too serious lane wise obviously..

Hi.
Been a bit of a wait but i finally got the V5 with me as the registered keeper :)
Good news is it has a couple of months MOT left!! Mind you it will probably be that long before it moves off my drive :thumbdown:
