my outlook on the road has changed
 
For the last year after getting made redundant two weeks after selling my scooby and then going self employed and needing to buy a van so no money for scooby my outlook was

Then borrowing the old man car on occasion well a lot of occasions my outlook was like this

But now my outlook once again has changed and looks like this

The seats are too small for me
My head permantly hits the roof
My knees touch the steering wheel

Shows what I know!! :sad:

The FSTi has the same wheel... only mine doesn't, so I'm often on eBay looking to pick up the right one. All the ones I've seen like that have been from Hawks or Spec C's. Now I know of another potential source. :)

Car looks very nice. You must be chuffed?!

My wife says mine looks like a chav drug dealers car and refuses to get in it, oh well, at least I never have to adjust the mirror or the seat. :doubleup:

Perhaps I should sticker it up, get the windows tinted and fit some under car neons to really annoy her :grin:
