    I thought of asking for a new thermostat but that's not very Christmassy, so it'll be an SSD drive instead.

    Heh. I know that feeling. I'm picking the Caravelle up tonight, now remapped and with Syncro gearbox fitted. Not quite as long a drive, but still hour and a half each way at least, depending traffic.

    You must be almost there with that now?

    EDIT - Just realized who I'm asking this question of - that will always be a work in progress I'd say:p

    Rear diff, exhaust missing and the remainder of the interior bits. But it's a huge chunk of the todo list gone.

    I can't see it happening. The last time you got into a diesel you kept cutting it out. That Caravelle is safe as houses in your hands.

    New front bumper (if the seller ever decides to email me back)
    Refurbed wheels
    Tyres
    AFC Controller
    Lambda sensor

    All the above for the Supra.

    I'll also have a nice christmas present when I get the Civic on the track, so that will do me!

    That's about it for christmas time....

    They're overpriced at the moment and you will get bored of it.
    also repairs are very costly.
    not very comfortable on long trips.

    Sure isn't all of the above part of the fun.

    There were 3 or 4 lads out in them at the last trackday I had my Teg at, they seemed to be having the craic. I ended up having an amazing dice with a lad in some special F1 edition. He could outbrake me into the final turn then I was passing at the pit wall and he'd be on my bumper for the rest of the lap. I'd never met him before but afterwards I went over to him in the pits and we were both sweating buckets but agreed it was an epic bit of time on the track

    I'm getting an awful horn for a Saab 95 or 93. Can someone advise something to make the swelling go down before I have an accident?

    There's only a few around at the minute alright. The repairs bit would worry me, but I literally want something purely for fun. Don't really have a need to drive at the minute, cycle most places. So a glorified go-kart on wheels is what appeals to me:D

    Get a Volvo C70 T5 instead. Much better value. Has to be no younger than a '05 though.

    Can't do anything until the summer and has to be a diesel. I just started surfing the net this evening and couldn't tear myself away from them. If SAAB go under it would make a nice cheap purchase
