   Horizon Bodyshop

   Just wanted to sing the praises of the bodyshop Horizon use. They're called Hallcraft and are on the same esate. Speak to Nick Hall. They fixed my bent front end last week and i have to say the job is superb! The finish is easily as good as the original, infact probably better. Whilst i was there i was chatting to Nick and he told me their secret. Apparently one of the guys in the bodyshop is an ex Reliant Body man. Basically he's a fiberglass specialist. Most impressive also was their hourly rate, just £24 +vat, which for work of this standard is a bargain.

   http://www.euroworksltd.com/ATTACK/Default.htm i love the aggresive styling of this car, and i,m sure a nice 200 BHP Vtec lump would be extremily nice in that chassis.

   111s

   Hi everyone, Listening to you lot I feel like my 111s is either an electric granny motor or the archetypal poor relation. It seems as if everyone knows the best upgrades or already have them fitted in nicely. Mine doesn't have any, except a nice CD Player and a few paint blob additons courtesy of 'Chips Away'. I must admit I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to the technical side of things, but what upgrades would you recommend - in other words, which are the most important for increase in performance and how much would they cost down at Horizon? It's a series 2. Let the flood gates open and drown me. Paulus

   Just seen this on Pistonheads. Is this right? Can I expect £200 for my original airfilter which I replaced with a Hurricane or this Airbox something more? http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/detail.asp?i=24422&s=12

   "In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average Driving Ability to display a warning flag. The flag (comprising of a red cross on a white background) will be attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle. For drivers of exceptionally low ability, additional flags are required."

    Going to house party/house warming party tonight in Shrewsbury. Well, I was going... Was looking forward to having a drive down there too, what with the gorgeous evening weather. Pushed the Liz out of the garage, I notice one of my brand new Proxies is flat and has a huge screw through the middle So not only have I got the hassle/cost of getting it repaired, but now I'm all dressed up and have nowhere to go So now I'm going to "do a Scott" and spam the forum tonight. Reckon I can reach 1000 posts by the morning?
