Default Car related new years resolutions!
Its that time of year again. What CAR related new years resolutions are you going to make?

1) I will wash it once a month and wax it every 2 months
2) I will check tyre pressures and oil weekly
3) I will ask for directions i(f I really need them!)

Rebuild the engine in the Plymuth. Get the van done like the Mystery Machine, take the rubbish carb thats on there off and fit a webber, fix exhaust blow. Get as much as I possibly can done on the Minor.

Defo going to wash and polish the car more.

Hopefully get a new manifold.

Most importantly I aim to get no points on my license.

Wouldn’t mind taking part in a track day too.

Modify ONE car at at time, and for crying out loud, don't get a daily runner and start modifying that at the same time, too...
