Re: Astral Tweeks
I wonder why people start their post on some forums by saying "Hello from sunny Belfast", but maybe it is so rare to have sun that it makes an event
We are having our sunniest time here right now, yesterday 20cm new snow, today hardly any clouds, from october to february almost constant cloud cover.

Re: Astral Tweeks
Got another 340!, an LE MCHUDD had told me about for sale (its not the same LE as on page 10 of this thread). The red 1.7 has been parked up since august in my drive as i got married last year and did not have the funds to put it back on the road, so i got this silver manydoor LE a few weeks back and have been driving it in very standard form (plus a roofrack) to work everyday.
Ive just replaced the home made exhaust i made for the red 340 earlier in this thread, back to a new standard exhaust and middle box, but it will still need some work to make good, seriously thinking about a full colour change as the red is slowly turning pink and the paints just too thin to keep applying t-cut by the gallon, also after all the arctic weather the battery was completely knackered again and i got rid. The red one just got new indicator's aswell.
I think in my head my plan is to drive the LE until i get a year out of it then swap or sell for a set of badass wheels YAY!, or maybe just keep for a neverending supply of spares for the red one, undecided as yet, but i think i may just keep silver one as standard as i can and do like nothing to it.
I had the roof rack in my shed for a while, but i put it on the silver LE cos it just looked so purposeful, just seems to suit it.
so now ive got 2 x 340's yesss!, this is perfect! , maybe i am developing a strange fixation with 300's, or maybe i just love the boxy styling rwd goodness grandad, ....Get ...In...!!!!

Re: Astral Tweeks
No Mark, No stereo, the auld one is banjexed, does'nt bother me too much, i dont really want to spend anything on the silver LE more than i have to, looking forward to working on the red 1.7 a bit more, once it gets above a few degree's and stops rainig long enough to get a chance to.
If i got a cheauffeur i could just sit in the back and play my gee-tar and wave at passer's by and pretend i'm from an 80's rock group, like motley crue

Re: Astral Tweeks
Hi Dub.
I saw the mighty Black Sabath back in the early eighties just after Ozzy had left.
Ian Gillan from Deep purple was fronting them. It was strange seeing
Toni Iomi playing Smoke on the water but they were brilliant

Re: Astral Tweeks
I might goto that, another mate is going already, £60 though!
1.4 GLs are all 5 speed BTW
Probably best to leave the sun roof alone, one they stick it can be a bugger to fix.

Re: Astral Tweeks
thanks for the comments!,
the sun roof is brilliant, i cant stop opening it when i drive anywhere, so i just permanently have it on the open fully selector thingy, and i have to say it is the best 23yo working sunroof ive ever seen!
Hey you! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me??????
.
Hey you! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

Re: Astral Tweeks
People say "beware!"
But I don't care
The words are just
Rules and regulations to me, me
I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
And I go to this here party and I just get bored
Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
Humpin' on the pawking meter, leanin' on the pawking meter
Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

Re: Astral Tweeks
Here she comes
Walkin' down the street
Here she comes
Comin' through my door
Here she comes
Crawlin' up my stair
Here she comes
Waltzin' through the hall
In a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
And then I hear this knockin' on my door
Hear this knockin' on my door
And I look up into the big tower clock
And say, "oh my God here's midnight!"
And my baby is walkin' through the door
Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

Thanks Mark, I knew you would appreciate the pink floyd lyrics
The Red car is now in primer, and....................i ran out of primer, so getting another tin shortly and more pics
There's "No going back now", but there may still be a bit of graft to do
Updating windows, do not switch off your computer!,,..................................... well u can if u want
And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is
