Can you measure the ID of the hole going through the centre of the tie bar brace bush pls.

EPC says 24mm on the bar, but not sure if that's for the bush ID too.

So that's where the last of the re-useable Castrol seat covers went

BTW, when was the last time you drove the Corsa Jimbo, and can I expect to be scared witless in it before the earth's supply of fossil fuel is depleated?

BINGO!!!

About bleedin time

Think i've been waiting for a thrash in the little nutter since I was about seven

BTW, deffo keep the wheels black, not many people do it and it looks great.
Understatement is always a good thing.
Also, I had white wheels on my MKII many moons ago, and Christ on a bike! all I had to do was look at my brake pedal and it was a weekend's worth of cleaning to get the horrible grey streaky mees of my rims

You're too kind Jimbo

She does weigh about a third of what the RS does though and has the advantage of sweet sweet aspirated power along with a terrifyingly short wheelbase so has the potential for thrills and spills galore I would have thought.

Plus small, stripped out and revvy always feels as fast as f*ck anyway and that's what realy counts

Wish the RS was that pretty behind the bumpers though.
Saying that, she is a bit of a veteran now

She'll be 16 in October
