I noticed lex was for sale again with added go faster stickers, It seems no one keeps them very long at all.
Yes

To be honest If I could of kept Lexy I would of I only sold her to fund Shitey Wobstang II ®

Lexy was a good car problem is a lot of the time they are bought by those who think they can drive them daily for the same cost as a Kia Picanto!

Once the fuel bills come in they bail :roll:

Cheap entry to Bucket List Car is an SN95 so they go through many many hands

I dont think of the price of fuel,well i did when my carb was not tuned and returning 7mpg :shock:

Its now in teenage figures so all is good :mrgreen:

Yes i get that with fuel costs, I drove lex and watched the needle drop like it was a big fat pheasant on shoot day, was a nice steer though.

Seriously though Carb back on,Rad back in,Loom rooted etc but nothing else being done much under there until the Transmission returns back home.

Plan is to paint the Trunk apature,inside of Trunk Lid and Door Jambs and Frames before end of this week so once its back home its just the outside to do ;)
