Yep washing the blood off the plastics on the front is a right ballache..

That and making sure they don't damage anything when they go under

If he accosts "young" men in Meole Brace car park to talk about his V8 P38, maybe?
Or of he has a Freelander and a accosts "young" men in Morrirsons car park to tell them they too have a P38, the also maybe.

Basically, people in Shrewsbury like to accost young men in car parks.

If I used the 1st owners £ per mile depreciation , mine is now worth nothing..... No point in selling it then , may as well keep it and enjoy it..

Looking at it that way the value of mine is in deep minus figures

No point selling I agree, keep it and enjoy it fancy a nice L322 myself would have to be a late model though like yours!

Nah, the late L322 is horrible!

Stereo is really loud.
Heated seats in winter are too hot and when on the hottest setting , heated steering wheel means I have to take my gloves off.
Cooled seats in summer, make me small parts smaller.
FBH for those chilly mornings. Makes my deicer a waste of time and money.
Oh and that diesel is really bad as I keep having to slow down and use the ACC to stop myself getting a ban on the mway.

Really horrible I say.

Actually only thing I really think is a let down is the lack of storage space in the vehicle for the odds and sods around the cabin. Talk about having first world issues...

Cheers

My new audi matrix arrived today If it stays dry over weekend will go out to fit it. How much of the box did you need to cut out and what did you use?

 

[pete12345]

I cut it back level with the original screw holes with a dremel then the middle rib with a saw blade and rubbed down with a dremel

I don't know what mine was worth new as I never got all of the paperwork with it. So let's say 45k seems fair. Currently on about 260k, over its life it has cost 17p a mile. That is assuming it is worth **** all right now. Not going to even attempt to work out how much fuel has gone into it over that time.
