What did you do to get banned in the first place.

...it always feels great to drive after a long while of not driving.

Epileptic attack wasn't it?

Nice one Dez

Bet you're so glad you didn't sell her afterall eh?

I saw a silver RSAP Mondy just a few weeks after reading about your ban. It had BK299's, same as yours and it instantly hit me as to what a nice looking car it was

DezUk · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:38

yea had an epilepsy attack

so was stopped from driving for a year

thedazman67 · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:40

seems harsh, how could resist the temptation not to take it for a spin during that whole year, doubt i would have survived, i love driving.

[TW]Fox · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:48

I need some BK299's

Dez gets comments about how nice his car is every time he posts

agw_01 · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:50

Kill the 4 spokes! Burn them now!

Thought you wanted OZ's Fox?

[TW]Fox · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:53

I did but I'm not spending money on alloys now

DezUk · 1 Feb 2006 at 00:54

299s may look nice but they are ***** to maintain, trust me

i constatnly worried that they are gonna corros away and i will only ujse soapy water this time to clean them as i dont want a repeat of the last ones

agw_01 · 1 Feb 2006 at 01:00

My dad has had 299's on his Rover for almost 2 years (might actually be 3 this year

)

He's had no problems with them... apart from when the Rover garage curbed one of them and took a nice gash out of it *cries*

Fox, oh yeah I forgot you were getting a BM. Ah well, I'm sure that'll look sweet sat on a set of 19" wheels :cool:

[TW]Fox · 1 Feb 2006 at 01:04

Have to bring that fine car of yours to some meets this year Dez, you've got some driving to catch up on

DezUk · 1 Feb 2006 at 01:15

yea tell me about it m8 just waiting for the weekend i can get my audio setup and go for a run.

agw: what does your dad use to clean his wheels and are they the same kind as mine, ie, the silver ones ?

Freefaller · 1 Feb 2006 at 07:12

Glad to hear you're back on the road!

Must feel great - how's the Mondy doing after all this time?

DezUk · 1 Feb 2006 at 13:54

Glad to be back on the road m8

From the short distance ive traveled to work so far it seems fine but i havent had it properly tickled up yet. Its had a brand new alternator fitted and a metal water pump is on order so will get that fitted soon.

Next thing i need is a decent car audio battery.

[TW]Fox · 1 Feb 2006 at 13:56

Has it not already got a metal water pump?

Firestar_3x · 1 Feb 2006 at 13:57

Amazing that the car has been sat and only started for the past year and its still running great, most cars go downhill when sat for ages.

Glad to here your back on the road, my ex had a fit and couldn't drive not happy times!

Lashout_UK · 1 Feb 2006 at 14:19

Congrats mate, glad to hear it you must feel ace. I can't stand not driving for a week, so you must feel superb.

I wanna buy you something shiny, for your car, for some reason, as a present

I went for my first (proper) drive since the end of May yesterday and it was good fun. Due to finances, I havent been able to afford insurance, but now I have my car, my insurance and everything else sorted. Weird thing is I haven't driven my car yet, just my dads and my mums!

It's weird I was just starting not to miss driving, but already I'm taking unnecessary trips and things
