Fingers crossed..... plus a car for sale

Hi all

Firstly really got everything crossed for the car being ready for 15th September,  ready for the BMW show at Pod. Compiled a huge list and it is huge of parts required and jobs left to do!!!  This reminds me just how good my mates and family are for helping me and putting up with my lack of patience for one ;-)

Now for the main event,  been thinking of selling my Astra for a while and it's decided 2 show cars is just greedy and to be honest want a standard but still entertaining car as a daily , Astra just seems wasted :-(

Here's the advert have a nosey
