Post by: DKnight on August 31, 2011, 01:17:11 pm
drove to petrol station and filled up then took a slight detour to run it in a bit up the road, and oh how i have missed the little beast.

nailed it up the straight and thought, man i never get bored of this!

I am hoping it passes so i can take it out for a drive tonight now, the usual "g smiles" statement here again, but it is genuinely true, love it.

pointless post but hey!

here she was knowing it was time to hit the roads again...

ha failed on fuel filler neck leak and excessive burning oil, they popped a charger seal the nobs! (even tho i might be to blame for slight bootage on way there lol)

it was fine when i left it, so therefore not my fault lol

The emissions MOT sign will say otherwise :p

I know what you mean about the pointless post, I feel like this most mornings/ evenings too and from work but never post it as I'd just repeat myself daily :D haha

You really should hold back on this one.Sell the scrap,maybe even a kidney; if you sell the G you'll join the ranks of the un-dead (assuming you haven't already)lol.

I already have a plan :D

G40's just do not fit into my life anymore, rag the van round mostly, so the G40 will have a better life with someone else, i do have the g40 caddy project that will give me my fix.
