GreyRacer Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Let it go to sleep in the garage and occasionally wake it up to turn the running gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytona Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Have the duff paint on the scoop and spoiler redone and a tidy up under the bonnet polishing bits and painting plastics, mainly over the christmas - new year break, cos it's my daily. Oh yeah and maybe the exhaust I ordered in June may arrive. :rolleyes: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J03 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 oi don't have a go at the car Joe, she only does what your right foot tells her to do lol Maybe it's the gods telling me to forge the engine whilst she's useless on winter roads Then again, I do actually like having money in my bank & savings account again So apart from the new engine & LSD, what you got planned Mr Bee. Is she becoming a full time track beast next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblebee Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Maybe it's the gods telling me to forge the engine whilst she's useless on winter roads Then again, I do actually like having money in my bank & savings account again So apart from the new engine & LSD, what you got planned Mr Bee. Is she becoming a full time track beast next year? just a bit of a tidy up really , maybe treat her to a couple of gallons of waxoyl while im at it . Having savings is over rated Joe , theres no pockets in shrouds mate , enjoy your money while you can just keep a little back for a rainy day She wont be an out and out track car , she will be stripped out but will have an mot so I can still use her on the road although I am enjoying driving the 4x4 and that's probably saved me a few points by now lol Edited August 21, 2014 by Bumblebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuddles Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Putting her to bed at end of October and use the RAV4 because when I had a Celica 12 years ago in winter it was awful on any snow and ice. Will wake her up again on 1st of March. I will miss driving it though every time I go into the garage and get the RAV out.

Dunnae worry bud, with the LSD it's all fun, just don't try racing anyone - remember Scooby doo when they used to set off running? although I am enjoying driving the 4x4 and that's probably saved me a few points by now lol I hear that, there hasn't been one day since being boosted where I haven't stepped out of her without tingling with adrenaline! I fear, at some point, triple figures will get me into trouble....maybe I need a daily too :/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenicks Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 My Celi is my daily commutemobile so I'm going to use it every day whatever the weather. Just need to drive carefully when conditions are less than perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
