Since I have joined I havn't put any photos up of my car yet, so thought i'd share a few with you. She is totally standard at the minute whilst I do my research into my options for engine modding, tuning and interior and exterior styling.

I love this car to bits! The photos were taken after I had driven her 300 ish miles after buying her, so she does ned a wash and he carpets do need hoovering....

Here she is;

The whole reason I opted for a D9 executive. I think the leather covered door cards make a huge difference to the interior of the car, and make it look that little bit special.

I used to own a Rover 214, and spent ages trying to upgrade my interior to leather, then put some OEM alloys on it, and source bits from the coupe. My D9 is already top of the range so I can concentrate on engine mods as opposed to faffing around with the interior.

Lol yes!! THe handbrake feels like im about to snap it off everytime I apply it. There is a problem with it, there is no tension at all. The car is going to the main stealer tomorrow for its full 60k service so ill get them to look at it.

that sounds about right too me, 406 handbrakes must be the worst ive ever come across, no matter how much ive tried adjusting it, its still ends up the same
