New 197 owner - Black

Hi all,

Already posted on the forums for advice, and its great, so much appreciated.

A bit about the car, '07 197 'Lux' (cruise control, keyless entry, softer suspension) in Black (sleeper look :tongueclosed:). Bought her off a family friend for £3.15k.

Bought her with 49k in October, now on 53k! Having a tonne of fun, and looking on making her look a bit newer, but no real need for more performance at this stage.

In the two months since getting her: Screeching rear brakes resulting in £600 replacement from garage (should have self-fitted!), gutters blocked, flooding the passenger footwell, dipped headlight replaced (both by myself!), and manifold just blown (have bought a used toyo) and to be relplaced tomorrow prior to MOT (runs out on the 21st).

Anyway, loving all of it, and keen to keep on learning (not quite ready to replace the manifold by myself though).

PS: Based in Brentwood, Essex
