Car preparations!!!??!!!
If you've not guess it already theres a small event going on on the 23rd - 25th July at Uttoxeter Racecourse
What are you doing to get your car ready for the big event????
My List:
1. New wheels to paint
2. New tyres on painted wheels :?
3. Fix knee bar
4. Fix glove box (not sure why as knowbody knows about it) :shhh:
5. Fit new suspention when it arrives (if it arrives)
6. A damn good clean
7. Try and fit all the camping stuff in it
Now not sure weather it's all going to get done but i'll have a good go at it.
So whats everyone else doing????……..
