Reminiscing....

Nice topic Erm

BEST BITS:

Roof down on boxing day last Xmas, driving with woolly hats/coats/scarves much to the amusement of the old duffers behind us!

Meeting you guys oop North and Reading and soon-to-be down South

Windstop (a must!)

Induction kit - yummy vrummy

WORST BITS
Staying with my sister by the sea and being unable to find my car owing to a skip load of bird sh!t (it was under there, I just had to wipe a ton of poo off - I didn't know ostriches could fly)

Then finding bird poo smegged my paintwork

Reversing into a wall (ha ha! phew 2 mini scratches)

Dent on wheel arch (but removed piece a cake by Dent Devils - 10/10 guys, UR stars)

being chatted up by a leather-clad biker (my favourite type). Him "You look cool". Me "You look HOT!"

Best Moments:

Driving my CC around in the sunshine roof down.

Worst Moments:

When I came to sell it and found out thru bitter experience that imports had driven the private second hand prices down of UK dealer Pugs! Uuuuugh!

Best:

Closing the deal to buy the car.
Getting it.
Having to give just about every one of my relatives a ride in it the next day at a family get-together; including taking my 91 year old gran out and putting the roof down on Scarborough sea front and watching the necks twist.

Worst:

Finding a dented wing in a car-park one day.
Driver window opening itself while I was driving and staying open (naturally it was raining at the time too).
Motion sensor beeping regardless of the roof position (fortunately it sorted itself out).
Rear speaker blowing after a few weeks.
Continuously plunging stock market putting pretty much all mods on hold.

OMG, that takes me back :eek: We went to France during World Cup 98 and ran out of petrol on the way home on a Sunday night too! We had cards but none of them would work so we parked up in a nearby layby and kipped the night there until someone opened up in the morning who could take our cash
