I was in Burton today, and I saw a wicked Black Tigra having a photoshoot for Redline near Pentagon Vauxhall.
Have you seen it about?
Also I thought the mad Gold Carlton had been written off?
I saw that today with even madder bonnet vents and exhaust diffuser at Swad ICE.

LOL I suprised Daz can be arsed to anything else to that cav.
I have seen a modded tigra round before, I have played around with a couple so could have been one of them.
Have you seen the corsa with a silver/ Pink flipy paint. It is parked on Derby road just after briggs and before the traffic lights. Got full combat kit with clear clusters. looks pretty good. 
There seems to be a lot of sheds driving round trying to race everyone!!Still it's nice to show a few of them up!
See you around

 I haven't seen that Corsa, and I was even at the Derby turn car park yesterday.
I was getting a quote for having an alloy re-furbished.

from Charlie Browns? You'll have to let me know how much it costs. I've got mine booked in at pentagon next week for MOT and service. Just started to get a nasty metal on metal rubbing noise from the front left wheel, so I'm guessing the bearings or calipers are shot

No it's from a company down Hawkins lane industrial estate.
Well not as such he is mobile unit, but works from a garage on the industrial estate.
I meet him at the Derby turn car park as he was doing an alloy on one of the cars at the car sales over the road from the bingo hall.
I'll let you know how I get on as my alloys have a weird finish on them being anthracite.

Someone tried to burn the place down. They were supposed to have put in new cams, valves and ported n polished the head on a mates car. When he went to pick it up they said everythiong had been done, but when he lokke dunder the bonnet the bolts holding th ehead on were all rusted up, and they hadn't even taken the head off!
Also they overcharged me, for fitting new disks and calipers. I asked them to fit new astra gsi items, but instead they fitted second hand carlton items. Gits
