Lower, sleeker, faster, cooler

It was a hard days work made more complicated by the fact of having to work through a matchbox sized hold to disconnect the hydraulics from the dampers... grrrrrr.

Before and after
Like the title says lower, sleeker, faster, cooler, TFW dropped a whole 3cm

The man from NAF he said yes :-)



Sadly for TFW it's days are probably numbered as my first choice of transport, circumstances, well no the weather and -14 temperatures, gave it a dose of the no go.
Don't get me wrong TFW itself was fine but the biodiesel that should have been flowing through its pipes went a bit solid, my fault really, normal diesel would have been OK. So it got left in the shed 120km from home where it left us stranded, to thaw out. Bah.

So what am i looking at to replace it, nothing new, obviously, besides the cost prohibiting it - i like older cars. £35000 for a new basic VW Passat estate anybody?? erm No.

Still ain't going to be cheap, for a 2001 VW Passat estate 1.6 i'll need the thick end of £8000, (yes that is eight thousand) how the hell do people afford cars in this country?? Ugggghhh.
