I got some new toys. A friend was given these and didnt want them so he gave them to me. Brand new! :P Not sure how often I will use them, but might be useful when the car gets so low I cant get the jack under it anymore (ie when it goes on 10s)

Sonic blew his top hose on the way to SMD (and I was outta gaffa tape :P )

Thanks to Barry Sonic will have a new steering wheel soon! ;) I owe you a drink buddy!

This is how it looked when I saw it on the back of barrys Jiffy

And ive just spend the last couple of hours stripping it back. I am going to prime it, then spray it black and have it covered in black vinyle with maybe blue stitching (or black stitching?)

Ok, thanks for removing the steering wheel and running off with it, Dumb ass!

So, as most of you know Sonic needs a new A panel. Its so bad, I cant open the drivers door at the moment.

Looks like Sonics coming off the road for a while. I think my drive in him today is going to be the last one for a while.

Yeah I like it. But if it really does cost £200 to get it recovered then I dont think I will ever get around to using it. :thumbsup:


The KOD father has past its reserve on ebay, so the wheels will need to come off Sonic and go back on the KOD father, and at the moment I cant really justify spending £200+ on wheels for the Sonic. So until I can he will have to sit in the garage on knackered old stealies.

:(

As the KOD Father needed his wheels back so he could be sold, poor Sonic went from this

Tempted, but the tires arent legal on these. they are really bad. one of the tires is actually ripped to shreds.

Thanks mate. Funny you should say banded stealies, its poss I might be going that route rather than wellers! Banded to 7! :thumbsup:
I have seen some that were banded to 8! but I thought that was a little over the top. (looked awsome though!)

You can come and have a sit in Jack, if you like - you won't get far, but could make 'brum brum' noises! :D
