New member here just waiting to go and pick up a China Blue 6 off Carl at CG Cars. The days can't go quick enough and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas, even got p*ss coming out now with excitement just thinking about it. I think I phoned Carl daily since last Wednesday asking questions. Left a deposit straight away without seeing pics as I know the work that he puts in having had work done by him before.

I'm planning on keeping the car standard but installing some good quality I.C.E, so any advice there would be good please ladies and gents. I can't be doing with loud droning exhausts although I may stretch to an induction kit after a while Hmm

Thanks for reading, a bit boring I know but hi anyway.

Welcome along mate Wave

its worth paying for the basic membership (£5) as many of the question you'll have will have been covered before and without membership you wont have access to all the forum.

Carls a great guy so no doubt you'll have a good car from him when you go to collect it Thumbs up

Welcome mate, spent literally hours upon hours on the car Saturday and I am now in a position where I am happy with the paintwork (detailing it to remove marks and slight scratches). Just waiting for the new refurbished calipers to come back and once I have refitted the brakes and carried out an mot test she is all yours, thanks for waiting but it will be well worth it in the end.

Have a mosey around the site, basically there is nothing you won't find on here.

See you soon.

cheers, Carl

Nice one Carl.

Tried to talk my Mrs into having that Bianca Rallye off you but she thinks too sensibly about having 5 doors to make it easier to get our son in his car seat blah blah blah. What the frig does she know? Schlaaag.

Hi Ant

Having a 6 is so much better in reality Yes

I remember sourcing this car for the previous owner. A veritable packet has been spent on it over the last 3 years.

I spent most of the day working on the car getting it as clean and proper, I have to say when I looked at it parked over the road it looked perfect.

How did you find the drive home?

Nice to meet you and glad you are happy with it, plenty of hard work went into that car, not just in the last week, the bills it has are amazing.

Carl
