Hi All

after the first weekend with my new toy the first word that comes to mind is . . . Wow

it feels so alive & eager to play .. I think my time with this one willbe fun.

I have covered approx. 340 miles and yet only used just over a tank of juice..

I can't wait to meet up with some more of you a try some more runs

here are some of the pics from when I actually stopped....

[Mgauky]

Cheers bud

Looks an interesting location. Is it on the Yorkshire Moors, and what is the tower called?

 

[Mgauky]

they are from all around my weekend jaunt ..

the tower is Victoria Tower , atop Castle Hill Huddersfield
the last 2 pics are the Holme valley from Holme moss transmitter
the top pics are Marsden Moor , between Huddersfield & Oldham

i had planned to get many more locations , but forgot to stop !?

watch this space , as i plan to get a trip round the dales going over the next few weekends (weather depending)

 

[Mgauky]

last two different locations
first one Colne Valley (Slaithwaite)
last one just off A59 small road with refreshment stop

 

[JBD]

I miss going up there

 

[Mgauky]

We'll have to arrange a cruise through the dales in the spring/summer !?!

 

[JBD]

Deal

 

[Mgauky]

So , today i have been to see a man about an exhaust .
Popped into Tony Banks in Leeds and they built me a custom system.

It has a wonderful burble at low revs & not too loud as to scare the neighbours !!
I also fit some wind deflectors , not too sure about these yet

 

[Mgauky]

Stereo upgrade to follow in two weeks-ish !

 

[JBD]

Looks great! Did it cost much?

 

[Mgauky]

£324
Made & fitted within 2 hours !

 

[JBD]

That's great value. Actually considering it now! I doubt they're open on a Sunday. I'll be driving through Leeds later!

 

[Mgauky]

Give them a ring on monday , they are nice guys & i'm sure they will work a slot for you, they have loads of tail designs to choose from

That looks sweet mate! Wind deflectors look nice too. If I had a 3 door id have them on but I don't think they suit the 5door

 

[Mgauky]

thanks Duffy !!

it sounds really good , just looking to see about an induction kit now !

still not sure about deflectors . . . .

 

[Mgauky]

Today I took a leaf from Duffy's book . .

I swapped these pathetic speakers

for these bad boys

also added a club sticker

the speakers make a huge difference to the depth of sound in the car. . well worth the effort. .

Looks good! Is it difficult to switch speakers? Do you know the maximum depth of the speakers?
Although I have JBL, I am not happy with it at all...
