Don't like the wheels personally.

If I were you - and you got this as a feebie to get to work in - then leave it - and get yourself a trophy car to lavish you attention on if you feel the need.

That's fair play Dan, in all honesty it's not a set of wheels if have gone out of my way to buy to put on it as not my usual cup of tea but as they and the car were given to me I'm not knocking them.
As ever though mate appreciate your opinion and as always some will like and some won't, it's what makes it more interesting isn't it

I am looking to get a "toy" cheaper than the Scooby was as needed to free some funds back up but still need a second car and this will be the one I spend the money on which is why trying to get in touch with the owner of the green one you mentioned that's on eBay. Really like that one and it hS the right toys one it for me to then do a couple of extra bits on top. The 400 won't be changing much more as it is supposed to just be a work horse really.
Just really hated the standard steels so once I've got some slightly lower springs I'll be leaving the 400 alone as will be a reliable and smart looking work runabout.

Haha, didn't realise you were still on here Steve.
Well yeah in the dark they don't look too bad, I too haven't seen it in the daylight yet so we shall see tomorrow.

Still looking

How's your new one going now as haven't seen it since you took ownership?

MGSteveT · 31-01-15, 09:52 PM

Ah, it's being taxed tomorrow! Was going to tax it in Jan for the SE Meet but the weather report was pants so didn't bother. Currently stored at my Dads place unil the Freelander got sold, which it sort of did today!

Craig-ZS180 · 31-01-15, 09:55 PM

That's fair enough. Probably best plus means didn't waste a months tax for just a few days use that way too.
Ah so the freelander sold today, that's good. You have got the new one now too haven't you?

MGSteveT · 31-01-15, 10:01 PM

Already got a facelift Td4 to replace the 1.8, Ella's having that as she's sold her CooperS today.

Craig-ZS180 · 31-01-15, 10:06 PM

Ah yeah knew you were getting the facelift just couldn't remember when you got it now.
Makes sense them having the hippo now doesn't it, be easier for them with the extra room being needed soon
