[karlj]

I'm renewing the main suspension components and brake parts, going all out on rust curing/ prevention as well

Sod the EG... Charlie for the win

 

[MaxK11C]

The EG is great, but ... Charlie for the win

That's all I read

 

[h701micra]

That's all I read

Get out

 

[MaxK11C]

Get out

I know where the door is, I get the impression you guys don't like civics as much as me

I'll probably be getting rid of the eg

 

[karlj]

Well I suppose I'd better make it official, as of last night Charlie ceased to be mine.

I know the new owner will care for her as much I do and will take great care of her.

And hopefully pull their finger out and get Charlie sorted quicker than you

I expected that, bit of a crap prezzie though, a car that'll never make it back onto the road

You may be surprized Ade , new brakes are on their way then it's just a case of suspension and jobs done

It's for good I'm afraid

 

[CelinaD]

She's mine! All mine! Mwahahaha... *skips away jingling keys*

I will apologize now that she will probably not reach most of your apparent expectations but I aim to at least make sure she gets to next JAE.

 

[Enuo]

Are you acting project manager then?

 

[McMicra]

This is good

 

[CelinaD]

Yup! That car's not gonna know what hit her. >_<

 

[karlj]

Ahh I remember getting all excited with car part packages....




1.6 N15 calipers just need discs and they're good

 

[h701micra]

Glad Charlie is still here

 

[karlj]

She'll never go anywhere, I've just lost interest in the car scene (again)

 

[h701micra]

It happens mate

 

[karlj]

I know, just so fed up with all the car crap I have laying around

 

[karlj]

Well it would seem that it has become more important than ever to get Charlie sorted, as some of you know the whole reason I have this car is because of my mum. The reason I named the car Charlie is because Charlie was my mum's nickname when she was growing up.

It is with a very heavy heart that I say that my mum will never see this car finished. As of 3/11 my mum lost her battle with cancer.

To those of you that are on my facebook, please do not metion it on there
