So i've neglected Smokey a bit this week (John's looking after her) as I've been ill with Flu/Severe Tonsilitis... luckily last weekend we all went for some photo's after the derby meet.

So I've been having a couple of problems as of late.

Smokey keeps eating the power steering pipes... so we changed them and it lasted half a day and gone. :shifty:

That weekend a friend of a friend came down from Scotland for the weekend.. so cleaned all the cars.

Since jet washing the car when I first bought it 2 years ago, My Toad alarm siren hasn't worked. We jet washed it this weekend and it's working. It's also apparent that now it is working, it's draining my battery so trying to find a solution to sort that as it looks like the plug for it has been removed. :(

In the meantime.. had a few new stickers turn up in the post so added them yesterday. :D

On motorway journey's we've worked out to around 73mpg which is better than my father in law's bora.

Short journey's it's not that good. Fella lives around 45 mins away so it's quite good for that as well.
Got to be the most fuel economical e30 ever.

Not sure if that's a good thing or not. :?

Great MPG & still pulls well. Need to turn the fueling up some more and still need to get it rolling roaded at some point and currently saving for a bigger turbo. :D
