I will always approve of blue. And as I keep trying to tell everyone - blue ones are faster :)

You have left yourself open for some comments there lol

Love the way you have spunked shed loads of cash on POWER! The next thing you care about is looks? Can I remind you that GAZ shocks shear/crack/loose fluid etc and you are still on standard ARB! Not to mention your tyres aren't exactly the optimum for a car used as yours is. Give your head a wobble.

How are the new Gaz shocks Chris as I was thinking about getting mine refurbed? George what benefits do you feel the Nitrons give on track over the Gaz? Or is it the just the build quality issues with Gaz you are commenting on. (Please note this is a genuine question not a dig).

I'm happy with there performance Martin But not sure the ones I have are the same as yours If I'm being really honest I'm not even sure what I have other than they are black instead of blue they are also longer at the rear than the blue ones As far as I no there has not been any failures on the black ones I currently have but I haven't had any confirmation if this I would speak to Gaz first as I thing wrelybro has had some new ones which are different to mine

How much is this car now worth ??? It's not had as much use this year, and beginning to think are the pit falls of owning these cars out weighing the joy I'm getting out of it

Why do the gaiters go is it because of extreme ride heights?

I don't think ride heights help But it's always the passenger inner which goes more likely to be because it's a shorter drive shaft @ lee I'm going to get it sorted lee see you at snetterton Then I'm probably be selling up Due to lack of use
