Until the good weather and finances come in, I'm running my spare parts car (see my other gallery)
As I only have one car taxed and insured at a time, all get treated as workhorses that I can enjoy, hence the mods are (mainly
) to increase comfort and fun. I also compete in a local road rally series, so the current car at the time also gets to see some motorsport, and needs to be able to perform as such.
