How i got home...

[Slam Wagon]

So this is how i got home on wednesday...



Rear caliper decided to start leaking after i changed my disks and pads on tuesday. I hate trying to source parts with no transport. Ended up getting a new caliper and fitting it thursday after siezed bolts and lots of rain i finished at 10pm. Luckily it was in time for a car show at a local business on friday morning.

In other news i spotted this by my mates house

[Grant]

Never good mate. At least it's sorted now.

Car looks great btw, like it

[Pete]

Glad its sorted, Looked spot-on at FCS. Did the recovery peeps moan at the lows? In my experiance they dont like low cars lol.

Looks like a lame way to end a good weekend mate!
Love the car though!

I'm with RAC for this reason as I discovered that they have the contracts for Ferrari and Porsche and as such have low loaders where the bed actually slides off the lorry and more or less flat onto the ground

[Connor]

When you changed the rear disc/pads, how did you get the piston in? Did you wind it in or just press or back in?

[Poodle]

Shitty deal. Car looked good at fcs btw, wasn't sure who you were to come and say so in person.

Hmmm, gold 5 door, no badges though... Aftermarket exhaust, maybe we've finally found a petrol one...?

[gareth7]

I'll put money on it being another HDi mate lol......good to meet you at FCS Poodle

[Matt]

A friends dad had a 1.6 lx one of these gold ones, but it was imported from cyprus at the end of his tour.

Cheers for all the comments. I really want it white and stormtrooper styling.

The recovery guy was sound. Had plenty of planks to make sure it didnt catch getting on. Was interesting trying to get the wheel straps on as ive just put some 5mm spacers in the rear make the gap pretty much nothing.

As for the brake i screwed the piston in and im just hoping its all good for pugfest next week.

Am i right in thinking that champagne is a very common colour? There ate loads of 306s by me but this is the only gold ive seen.

[Matt]

Champagne and it's petrol?!?!? Wtaf!!!
