Hey Guys

Just thought I would say hi!

Had my cabby about 18 months now but new on here.

Not got any pics hosted but you can see some on my msn page

Be nice to hear your comments!

Welcome Mark - looks well tidy!

For interest only (?? - as you already own one) but check out Prowlers buying guide for cabbys! :wink:

Here it is!

Thanks for the replies guys

Hairyarse - that guide looks really useful, I have been quite lucky with mine - only having to replace the usual sort of wear and tear parts. Oh and all the suspension and shocks but that was by choice ;-)

Phil - Newton Abbot a nice place?  A good place to go on the lash none the less!

Have a look in the regional meets and shows section under SWM5 or SWM4 for some pics of the last meet.

Car looks really tidy but I don't think i've seen it around yet. Or I might just be going blind :oops:

Well u know what causes that!!  :P

I have had it since last may and only live in Newton Abbot.  Quite often in Torquay/Paignton with it!  More so in the summer i spose!

as shortstuff says, have a look at the SWM thread on regional meets.
 
 plus you can read some of the banter as the northwest boys beat us last time! :x
 but our crown will be regained!

 cheers
