OK, So I've not had the time to update this for a fair while!! So here I go.... Firstly, for those people who know me, I have an OMG shocker of your life update, I changed the breaks on my car and added some camber shims to the rear....my Dad (a mechanic) and my brother (a car fanatic) almost fainted when I told them this! Annnnnddd....it was caught on camera :D

Such dirty work!! Look at the bloody state of me!!! LMAO!! It took me a while to do, and a very impatient bf telling me what to do, but, I got there in the end...and the car stopped when it needed to, so I must have done it right ;)

Secondly, I met up with a fellow CL follower who lives locally who I had spotted, and took a few pics of our cars together, they're not the best pictures ever, but, I'm still learning :)

Right nice lad, and was great to finally meet someone locally that shared the passion :)

Then.....I'd spotted this other Loop literally a few days after I'd got Bonnie and fell in love with it, tried finding the guy who owned it thru here, his mate was on here but he wasn't....slightly annoying....then I started seeing driving about the area a wee more frequently, and one day on my way home from work it passed me on the other side of the road, so I thought sod this, turned around and followed the blighter, and low behold, his Dad owns a garage not far from where I live, so stood and chatted for a bit, and got a few pics of the babba's together :D

And finally..... boys&girls, this is what happens when a mixture of lack of concentration, confusion, and when people decide to stop in the middle of a junction on a green light to let emergency services thru!!! I think people need to revisit the Highway Code! Altho she's damaged, and severe as it looks, she still drove me home, and is gonna be fixed up :D

And this....is the car with a broken engine, which the front end, and the radiator is gonna come out of to repair Bonnie :D managed to buy this little non-runner for £320 delivered to my door :D right chuffed!!!!

Wow that's what you call an update. And a risky on at that.

With those pictures of your self on there you are asking for weird and rapey comments by some of the weirdos on here.

Good work with the repair though!

Hahaaa....many thanks for your show of concern, but I think I can handle these weirdos, cause as it stands I am one myself, and I know how to deflect from those annoying and perverse remarks :D

I'll be getting a start on repairing her ASAP, but its gonna take me a while with what little time I have off of work to do so....

xx

**** dude(tte) glad you're ok & the Loop will live!

I was stiff as a board after believe you me! LMAO but she will live on, and it will be immense ;) xx

Fingers cross this is one of those that looks worse than it is. Kudos for getting a donor and sorting it. I'm guessing if you drove it home theres no major mechanical damage and the wheels are still straight.

More importantly, did you leave a mark on the other guy? :lol:

There are a few lupos round here that i've spotted that don't seem to be members, seen that black on a few times. Never thought to chase them down though as a 6ft skinhead gets a different reaction to a petite blonde!

Yea I drove it back, the only thing that really appears to be damaged is the radiator....

Hahaa yea I only made a small dint in her rear bumper...couldn't believe it, I was right devastated!

LMFAO he was shocked, and didn't really know what to say to me initially other than he too had been keeping his eye out for Bonnie...I think it would be somewhat humorous to see the reaction that you would be given!! :D

1). If a bloke had done the brakes you wouldn't have stacked it, glad you're okay though.

2). Pete ?

LMAO, I wasn't concentrating hence my lack of response when it came to braking.....

and what do you mean Pete? xx

Really great news. Is the new one identical blue?

Good job the wings and front panel unbolt easily on the Lupo.

Plus the left over parts will make an interesting project car, or a nice shell for someone!

Yea I'm gonna strip her down, take what I need off and flog it off for cheap cause I don't really want things hanging about for ages, and with regards to the shell, I'll either sell it or scrap it, doesn't phase me really, I just don't want all my space consumed by something I'm not gonna use.

Its a jazz blue the same as Bonnie, but no doubt there's somewhat of the slightest colour difference, but that'll all be sorted in time, my main concern right now is getting my little beaut back on the road :)
