personally think yellow lights look cheap and tacky, gona smoke the lights and add crosshairs.

Got loades of ideas i want to do but juts time and effort as i do it all my self and im trying to make as much as possible at the mo at work so dnt have alot of time for my own stuff.

So yesterday the car ticked over to 100k miles and also decided that on the way to work it would spit its dummy out smoked a bit and then got really hot, think he head gasket has gone and thought the water pump had but thats fine.

so yesterday evening it was like so:




and tonight its like:





hoping that all it needs is a head gasket, head skim and then put back together but think ill probably get shot of it as it will never be as strong, may dip into savings and get a mk5 gti, duno yet though.
