mattbowey

can someone remind me how to put a vid from photobucket on here please. Thanks

It appears I have already been signed up for this so will see you all there after work on the Saturday.

Lees right, the car needs to come up a touch. so will try and get it into work before the end of the month and get that sorted. If not I will just have to shave the lakes roads like I did the Wales ones.

i think i might have to run the reg at work tomorrow and see what power it really is running, well, according to the dvla from when it was registered in the uk.

Happy birthday fella, make the weekend of it!

i think i have looked through all the pics posted so far from the weekend and i turned up late on saturday so i may well be wrong but i dont recall seeing any gingers in wales.

well, apart from one that has had a large amount of cosmetic surgery

try national windscreens, they're normally half the price of autoglass.

wheels can alter your camber as well as the suspension so it could be that

bottoms arms are adjustable so it will be an easy enough job to sort it.

tops arms arent adjustable which means they need replacing if you wanna slam the car. this is the problem i have, currently searching for adjustable top arms as i'm not paying 200+ a tyre just to use the inside inch of them

Missed matts car

 

Stupid holiday!

dont worry she aint going anywhere. you'll get another chance. i'll make sure she gets a good wash next time too.

great pics.

i'm game!

would be willing to pop the barbie on if people wanted to come to casa bowey!

pm'd

no more pics at the minute but will be more soon

Rolls Royce Balmoral Green FTW!!!

The colour is Rolls Royce Balmoral Green, and i have to say, pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks for the good comments though, I seem to hear the same about the wheels all the time, I think they are a bit of a marmite thing. I think Lexx had it the same when he had them on his.

Looking forward to wales. Lets hope the weather is good

and i rank people who park across 2 bays at the same level as those who park in disabled bays,

 

only to$$ers take up 2 spaces if you can;t park properly buy a smaller car.

 

if i can get my barge of a car into those smaller spaces then so can everyone else.

you seem to be missing my point

not a bad plan at all. i thought about letting all his tyres down, not slashing them but just out the valve. but though better of it, my ma was in the car and he was a complete rat so figured it would probs come back worse and wouldnt be worth the hassle

I had exactly the same problem with the widths of spaces before I had the use of the Parent and Child bays - and indeed when Lewis isnt with me. If I want to avoid door dings, I just park further away and walk, or look for an end space and park as far over as I can.

 

The disabled and P&C spaces are wider because they physically need the space to get children and or car seats in & out of the car.

 

Im going to get into an argument with somebody in a car park over this issue before long I can see it coming.

I have done before when I've had my mum with me (needs a disabled spot - bad leg) and the guy just told me to **** off even though i asked him nicely if he'd mind giving me the spot so i could get my mum out the car. needless to say it didnt end up particularly polite after that

I agree, but, if spaces were wider then it wouldn't happen.

that is true, but as these companies dont make money on the car parks they need as many people in the shop spending as poss and not going elsewhere because they couldnt find a spot. sorry for stating the obvious.

I do agree though, if i'm in the zed i'll park at the furthest end of the car park across at least 2 spaces because or narrow spaces and inconsiderate ******** who ding your doors

I have to agree with you on this one, i even tell my mates to move if they park in disabled bays because people do actually need them

as stated, she needed it so she got it, just a quick wash though, nothing special

the work van had just been done too

sounds like a plan, planning on going really early to get there for about 9 though i think

Is it too early to start arranging this?

I havent really looked at the list for which NE members are going but myself and R35Lee will be heading down super early on the Saturday morning for those interested in joining us

Myself and R35Lee will be popping along on the Monday if anyone else is up for it.

Located at the Teesside Autodrome for those interested.
