THIS MONTH
CONTACTS
Now, I know what you’re thinking. That
short arse hasn’t made an appearance in
Fast Projects for months now, he must be
too busy on holiday, and obviously doesn’t
like to get his hands dirty anymore. Well,
you’re kind of half right, the Audi and
Beetle have been rather neglected of
late but there is still a little available time.
Even I don’t go on holiday more than
once a, er... month.
But, as for getting all grubby in
the workshop, it’s actually quite the
contrary. In fact, I can’t remember ever
being this busy. It’s not just the Sirion,
or Jules conning me into fitting loads
of stuff on his cars for DIY Day Jobs,
either. Nope, the truth is that I’ve been
a little preoccupied with a couple of
new additions to the fleet - a little Corsa
VXR and a NP300 Navara. Now, quite
obviously, I couldn’t go leaving these
standard, could I? It’s just not in me to
do that, so I’ve been using any spare
time to crack on with the mods on those
two behind the scenes. And, just in case
you’re wondering, I love them both in very
different ways. Like any other FC monkey,

Anyway, I mentioned my Navara
because there’s one thing that a big, bad
pickup is ideal for. And that’s lobbing
your wheels and tyres in the back to get
them all fitted up. So, since my Yokohama
Advans have been sitting around for
about 2-years now, and the new AutoStar
Essens for a good couple of months, I
thought I’d take them over to our long-
suffering friends at Revamp Autoworks
so they could pop them on, and that’s
exactly what they did. Then I drove them
back and stacked them in the workshop,
and then I went back to fitting some
coilovers on the Corsa VXR (and then,
you met me in the pub without having a
shower! – Jules).
So, I guess the real question is; are my
wheels finally on the Audi? To be honest
they’re not just yet. The main problem is
that the TT is sitting on my Mum’s drive
(your poor mother – Jules) while I sweat
my arse off to make some room in the
workshop. I’ll get them bolted-on soon
though (probably) and as soon as I do, I’ll
let you know how they look.Yokohama Tyres: I can’t remember.
