    Yeah like Brian says you'll get the hang of it Hannah and don't be shy we've all been in your position ..
    John I'm glad you enjoyed it yesterday and great to meet you. Had a look for the bits we were discussing yesterday and might have come up with a solution. I'll let you know how things go.
    Spud was in the same boat and he had a ball too.
    Only down side is once you come away from the meets after meeting folk and seeing the cars you get more ideas as to what you'd like to do / change !
    Yeah those tyres are far to high for run flats I run mine at 38psi which is the recommended pressure for the car but just check the manual as yours maybe be set slightly lower.
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    As above look over the handbook as it can save a nasty shock. Have a look in the drivers door and it will give you the recommended pressures.

    Glad John and spud had a great time always great to see new faces

    I nearly had a stroke when I checked the other tyres, even contemplated doing the girly thing and phoning my dad to make sure my eyes went deceiving me! I said 48 was too high, but I got this mini straight from a garage so didn't even think to check the tyre pressures on the drive home. Think il be back down to the petrol station to rectify the pressures in the morning before work then :) bloody Nora, il get there eventually haha x

    Sorted the pressures before work today, much better :) I'm now busy drawing something up for my roof graphics, gone against the usual chequered stuff I first looked at :) x

    This has been harder than drawing my back tattoo! I keep lightly sketching something then throwing it in the bin! This may take me longer than I thought. Does anyone know A kinda ballpark price for getting roof graphics these days? X

    It just depends on what you want done, the size and how many colours etc are involved.
