BAD JAMESY!!
eh? a litre of ATF...! Sorry fella, exactly the reason I wanted to pass this pimp mobile on - total lack of time to maintain it. If it goes bang I will donate a spare box (u were stood on it the other day)

I think I used to get around 22 mpg out of it, any less is just ridiculously greedy. Ray, you are drunk, go home

(I'm sorry, I can't help it - I wish I had a 3 footer, instead of this enormous thing)

Yeah, I know it's looking pretty shweet...

Difference is Andrew's just brown nosing now!!

Oh, spoiler's probably being sprayed as I type, dropped it off last night and even got my terrible mis-fire sorted on the 480 to boot

Followed by an altercation with a Fabia VRS which ended up with the needle the wrong side of 135 (on a private, fenced off, disused runway, with armoured guards etc.. Obviously!)

Brown trouser moment happened though when some t1t pulled out on me... Back end squirming and all sorts!!

Why the f**k did Volvo only fit vented discs to the Turbos ??!!

Someone did that with me when I was getting the new pic for my avatar - on the same private road as you mention obviously. To be fair I was probably hundreds of metres away when he decided to drift out into the outside lane....

Shtop! This traffic collision is not finished yet....

A spoiler is the way forward my man, cool may I also recommend some lowering springs and a Robou ecu .......but don't forget the uprated recirculation valve(s)
