The alarm stopped working for a week or 2...and suddenly started working again!? (weird Can system!)

I had chirp enabled but the chirp stopped randomly but now randomly back :D Happy days!

It clearly just needed a break lol

Hopefully fit that later, no idea when the wheels will go on as I have my winters on and think they're needed at the minute!

Yep, black/dark grey BBS CH's only caught a quick look as we were both navigating around the mini roundabout but going in opposite directions.. Looks like you've got a doppelganger :)

Lol. Looks like it. Do you work in cosham? Because ports down hill would be a super place for a meet. During warmer weather of course.:thumbup:

Well I hope this snow doesn't ruin my plans tomorrow! Going to the vauxhall ( sorry) garage to price up a new Astra vxr ! I know they are not for everyone but they are amazing, I would buy one for the seats alone
I have been onto my insurance company today and the quote was ridiculously cheap considering its a group 35 insurance too, so full steam ahead

:lol: don't worry they are definitely ruined ! The Leon is a nice car but the new vxr is just brutal, one went past me and it looked stunning, especially in the blue. I have test drove the Megane Rs too and that was superb to drive, but I couldn't live with that awful interior. Seat better hurry up with the new Cupra otherwise I can see myself in a vxr

GOOD! Yeah, I do love VXR's was going to sell my FR when insurance is up and get one but because I'm only 20 insurance is mad! + There not that reliable, I'm sure a brand new one would be though.. Arden Blue is stunning, would be my choice :D

Yeah I turned 20 a couple weeks ago and insurance is just about getting reasonable now I have been driving 3 years plus 3 years NCB. I have been quoted 1500 on my own policy ( parents named) for the vxr and the Leon insurance is around that anyway. I hated the old vxr but the new one is something else. Then again I haven't driven one yet so I still might not like it :) shame there is no DSG style gearbox though, that is the best thing about my car and I won't have another car with a clutch again unless it is something very very special.

I Just turned 20 today lol, £1500's awesome! Insurance on my FR was £2800 (Its only a TDI), Bloody rip off. Though ill be on 3years no claims when my next insurance is up, Better be much cheaper!
I Love all the astra Vxr's look so mean! Im yet to try DSG, might go test drive a cupra to see what its like :p
