Grande Punto The story now, and as it continues

Introduction

EDIT Adding this photo from 4/5/2013, and removing all other pics from this first post to remove the 'ugly' ones of my car from its thumbnail ;) Haha. I'll repost this "1st" post later on :)

1st Photo courtesy of benny279. Cheers pal!

EDIT 2: Decided not to repost, did do, but it looked odd. So plain deleted. Old naff standard 1.4 GP Sound on steel trims anyway ;) Not missing much, but the progression can still be seen.
Yeah they make the car look so low and phat from behind. Its awesome, i love it! Tempted to remove my cheap £6 chrome exhaust tip too. Makes the car look even better now with the mudgaurds IMO. Not to mention its cheap and tacky anyway.

Got a standard sporting back box in the shed rusting if you want it? Will have an abarth full system for sale at the end of the month too?
 
Right, whilst i have a minute or two, some quick photo's of Trafford 14/3/13. Hoping to get them into a morphing slide show soon, will look epic (IMO). Will upload some of the peaks/snake pass later or tomorrow too.

Meanwhile, enjoy....

Photo's come complete with my mascot, and the surprise i rolled up on. Now officially unveiled :rolleyes: Anyone know who my mascot is, and where he's from? Complimentary applause for anyone who gets it :worship:

Will upload a slideshow complete with everyones car who attended (apologies to those i missed, as with cars constantly moving from location to location some vanished before i got a chance to snap them!)


Cheers,
James
 
You even told me what it was called but I've completely forgotten now!

:yuck:

Not the first white go to have a mascot ;) I've had a ghost in my car since day 1 ;) you'll see at AI ;)

So long as it isn't Casper the Ghost. Don't think Jodie would approve haha. Or is it one of Caspers relatives :slayer:

is it elmo haha?

sesame street

Nope. How does it even look remotely like Elmo haha! Except the colour maybe.

Mascot is one of them monsters of the kids tv programme trap door I do believe :D and as you know mate I'm a huge fan if your new alloys :p

HURRAY!

Yes, it is off Trap Door, the 80's kids tv show :devil: Rogg, my new mascot for my car.

and fyi wisey the car looks 10 times better on those wheels over the TD's!

I never thought my car looked 'chavvy' before. Detested the thought of it ever being classed anywhere near it, but since taking the TD's off, and putting these on....i have to admit. It might, have looked a little chavvy before. :yuck:

Now she has an element of class about her again :) Sitting pretty IMO now. Just need my other mods on (soon) :rolleyes:
 
Snake Pass 15/3/13

Few photo's of my car and the joyous road that is Snake Pass, between Manchester and Sheffield. Only pity was the weather, really was awful as you can tell!

**In ALL these photo's the missus is asleep in the passenger seat. Pointless fact, but i found it funny when i got home and uploaded them, it only dawned on me then that she'd slept through the entire thing. Pffttt.**
 
And,...

This is where we stayed overnight. Snuggled up on the back seat with my kind size duvet. Nice and warm i hasten to add! For safety's sake i chose the deepest lay-by i could find, certainly found one!

It even came complete with its very own cave! We didn't use it though,...

Best nights sleep we've had in a while tbh, was absolutely pitch black! Bliss!

So...with Brooklands 2013 literally this coming Saturday, i figured it was time to fit the Abarth front lights on. I've only had them since October/September time...so its about time i got on with it.





There comes that moment in all situations like this, whereby you look over what your right in the middle of doing, and hope you can remember to put it back together again in the right order. Thankfully, i had no bolts left over at the end!




Anndddd. Tomorrow i'll be working on the spoiler....which i've had since MITCar last year. Sorry Jodie, its getting there :D

Wash and wax on Wednesday. Cars never had so much lovin'....
