Andy, I'm with DirectLine. There are no mods except the backbox and they weren't bothered by that as it had no performance gain as such. A full decat is a different story though. Alarmed, imobilisor and tracker, 10+ years no claims, no points and an M postcode. We also have the house and the wifes car insured with them, so there is a bit of discount in there too.

Meant to add that tescos around the corner have got the 99 ron super unleaded in and only 95p per litre. Tried some last night, car seems a little bit noiser (in a good way) that may be my imagination though. However it does pop and bang a bit more so may need to adjust my power fc to reduce the fuelling slightly.

It's cheaper than buying Optimax from the Shell garage on Hunger hill. Which Tesco's is it? Is it the one on Hamilton Street in Atherton?

Last night..
Silver one heading towards Standish on Wigan Road about 6.30 last night and he waved!!
Blue R reg at the lights coming from Queens Street onto Riverway.
Blue STI turning onto a side road (Hillcrest?) off Leigh Road.
I'm such a spotter, it's sad really.

Also spotted yesterday a black bug/blob on manchester road nr the roundabout going up the hill (princess ave???)
I gave a wave, but in true bug/blob style fashion, no response. I think they are envious of our older and lighter classic thoroughbred cars.
If its anyone on here then

Anyway, they are probably too busy enjoying their comfy interiors, nice seats and great electrics and all round better build quality whilst you classic owners are still trying to find the cranking handle and kindling to start your engines

Unlike someone else I could mention, who's car is always parked in the same spot outside their house everytime i go past. Was starting to think it didn't run till I saw you in it the other week
