buying a series 1 AU then not having any money to do wicked as mods, plus living 1600 k's from the nearest capital means everything costs twice as much and no one here sells the stuff you want any way, oh and the mechanics, don't get me started

For me it's two things.

1. Annoying squeaks, rattles and clunks.
2. Getting great ideas from you guys but not having the cash to do mods.

I would love to lower each of my AU's, put Series 1 Tickford 17's on the Futura Series 1 wagon, some really good rubber as well.

I'd love to do up each engine, nothing too drastic but the JMM Dev 3 on each would be very nice indeed. I'd love to stick leather seats in both cars, Tickford gagues in both cars, black leather steering wheels in both cars. Aahhh dreams LOL!

Oh well, even though I can't afford such mods, it's still great reading about the great stuff many of you are doing, and seeing great pix!
