    Steve, why are being such an a55hole? Do us all a favour and start up you're own website!

    Its a sad sad sad day when you go trolling through all this stuff trying to nit pick about Andrew. Give up, move on and grow up!

    Apologies for the harsh words but this is just so childish. Steve, you are now looking pathetic!

    Yes i do, i read a lot of childish bullsh1t posted by you day in day out, every single minute! ITS BORING AND YOU ARE NOT DOING YOURSELF ANY FAVOURS!

    Cant you deal with you're own problems, no! You have to act on everyones behalf and BORE the **** out of us all!

    Do yourself a favour and read all the crap you have posted recently. All you do is bring down this section! You are like a wee selfish fat kid back at school!

    And do not send me any PM's, i can not be bothered with it! The only PM's you should be sending are ones relating to you're boring and probably pointless case against AndrewG therefore not clogging up this site with rubbish!

    I'm not going to get into another thread on this sad subject, but when I read this again earlier I did quietly laugh to myself about the various broken promises

    Final comment, I nearly sold my two complete bumpers to someone who bought some other bits for £200, if you check Eurospares website for how much they charge, I could have easily been out of pocket by about £300 by having to replace them

    The only thing different on this thread as to when I started is the fact that I had to sell the Stack dash as I had miscalculated the price of building a garage.

    I intend in the near future to either buy another Stack dash or similar, i.e. P.I. System 2 dash or Aim/Motec dash

    I don't know if you have read it, but I have a spinal injury so I just go out and do what I can when I can, I really want to have it done by the end of winter so by easter/spring its already to go, when I get the seat brackets 'finally' finished in the next couple of weeks it will be useable, i've got the door glass out and I will be sending them to plastics4performance shortly to be made in polycarbonate with sliders like on the Gt cars, I have the doors stripped out and have shed 30kgs just on the doors, 15kgs each door, thats the door cards the speakers the glass and the motors & assembly

    Because I love watching the Ferrari Classic & Open Challenge and I might possibly go into it in couple of years.

    The other main reason is I use my friends 355 a lot and to be honest a normal Mondial Qv will seem like a milkfloat after driving that, i've always wanted a road legal race car so heres the nearest best thing.

    I think this is going great. The idea of a lightweight Mondial is wonderful.
    Keep up the good work!

    Why is it pointless, are you happy for people to be mislead??

    I asked you on another thread if you believed Andrewg had a Ferrari garage, you haven't answered yet.
