3rd they're not there!


cd.thomson - 5/9/09 at 02:35 PM

theyre in the photo archive, good place to put them before theyre resized so they dont wreck the thread .

I like it a lot! love the colour scheme and looks very very tidy

Pics are big but car looks nice, great colour - you've been working hard

There is a piece of software free on the net called pixrezer, you can reduce the size of pics using this

Very nice well done
What v6 engine is that ?
If you have over heating check your front grill the holes look too small in the mesh

The only way you will overtake us is when we pass a petrol station and have to stop.

Ask Geoff how many times I overtook him on the way to Newark a couple of years ago. He kept slowing down for roundabouts.
P.S. 4 cylinder owner!

And how is the fuel injection going sir?...


MikeR - 7/9/09 at 10:55 PM

looks fantastic - slightly curious / worried about your radiator grill. the big thick bars aren't whats concerning me. How much air gets through the thin mesh behind them?

Well I was driving carefully and getting used to my new Viento (Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

Rusty is right, I just didnt realise how well these cars hold the road (IN THE DRY).

I'm a bit quicker round the corners now, but still try to be carefull, as we all know these cars can bit back quite hard.

I passed all that speeding and driving like a loony stage about 35 years ago.

Still I do enjoy the Viento, and its goes well.
Also 26mpg on a run at 70 Mph on dual carriageway or motorway is not too bad.

Err Somewhat less on the twisty roads and in town.

Err Probably a LOT less on the track

Nice to see another Viento about to go on the road.

Went to the SG7 club meet on Sunday.
Three NON members turned up, all unannounced and not knowing each other were going.... ALL driving Viento's, that was the most of any single marque vehicle at the meet

Your car looks good to me...
Good luck with it.


Jackaroo - 8/9/09 at 08:33 PM

Planning to also put my pictures on the forum as I am nearing completion of my Viento as well! So excited been a long three years
Good luck with your car old chap so nice to see the "growing" number of Viento's, just a pity I can't be there for the get togethers

Regards,
Gerrie


NeilP - 8/9/09 at 08:42 PM

Gerrie,

Send us a high res photo of your face - we'll stick it on a piece of card on a stick and have it in all 'official' Luego Club shots.

T'is the best I can offer mate - you have all the sunshine!

Cheers, Neil.


Nash - 8/9/09 at 09:32 PM

Love the car but weren't you upset when some dingbat grafetti'd your car with that obscene Tag!!!

.....Stads!!


.....Neil


Fub - 15/9/09 at 04:09 PM

how's you and yours


Fub - 15/9/09 at 04:13 PM

fat ugly b!


Steve Lovelock - 20/9/09 at 06:48 PM

Re the 'tag'

He was probably refering to the red piece of poo stuck by the exhaust


YODI - 20/9/09 at 08:40 PM

Looks great mate and good workmanship there too... The only thing I'd have done differently is a non colour coded black dash
