Given the choice of spending £20 or messing about doing it myself id happily spend the £20! I look at it that my time a work is worth £100 an hour to the firm, my free time is worth more to me than my work time, so more than £100 an hour, if i can get someone to do the work cheaper than what i think its worth for me to do it then ill happily spend money!! -
cheers

ok, my friend has recentl declard SORN on her car, she now need to get it taxed as she has now passe dher test and needs to get it taxed, what do we need to do to sort it out?
-
cheers for that Kev! i assume its not just the diameter but also the width of the wheels that makes a difference? im deffinatly gonna think about considering the change to 15s, cost is the main barrier!, any suggestions on something that will look good for below £400?

my G60 is currently running on 17" TSW wheels, im thinking of trying to find a set of standard wheels. The 17s look really nice, but the car doesnt handle spectacularly well, it tramlines like crazy and cornering could be better! what i want to know is, do the C's handle significantly better on the standard size wheels as opposed to bigger wheels?
-
cheers for the heads up!! gotta love the forum! noone thinks your stupid when you ask a question, everyone is very helpful and reply very quickly!
-
thanks for the quick reply! ill set about fixing it later!

dark green C last night (thursday) seen on Delme Aems roundabout in fareham think they were heading towards M27 i was heading towards A32. Think registration was C3 ASL (something like that anyway!!) had a playboy bunny on the plate!! anyone on here?? -
cheers for all that guys! most appreciated!! I tend to keep my revs below 3K until the oil temp hits around 80. so looks like i havent been over cautious or attempting to blow the thing up!! just wanted to check, what with the cooler temps starting to creep in!!
-
oops, i did mean the oil temp :wink:
-
ok guys, Ive read some posts where people have mentioned that they dont take the revs over 3K untill the engine temp is about 90. I understand the principle behind it and like other i wont over rev the engine until its nice and wam, but was just curious about other peoples habits as to the revs they use until the engine hits a certain temp. I havent had the C too long and as its starting to get alot colder in the mornings i want to make sure im taking the best care of her i can! Andy
