Davey, you call me a tight arse, yet you're the one who buys cat d bangers? Very strange...
I bought these with the intention of either making a profit on or swapping for a set which suits my car.
Apologies for the fact I have to work so don't have time to fit them, test them and remove them all at the same time.
I suppose I could just pay someone to do stuff to my car, as you seem to do, ALWAYS?

No, because I don't work in a dealer, I work at an actual Ford production site, manufacturing diesel engines for the Ford's of the world

I've never bought a brand new car, but even the standard wait of couple of weeks would drive me mental.
Tuck waiting a year, probably bored with the idea by then

Female I tried to tell him not to, but as he does a lot of mileage due to his profession, it was the only real choice. Still, I imagine 317bhp will do him nicely, as his current Scirroco has 180bhp.

Pic now. It is actually shiny, dull weather in Cumbria I guess makes it not look shiny.

I'm not saying it wouldn't Essex, I know it would but it's funny to hear an "ecoboost" in a Mustang.
