Well I've finally gone and done it, the ultimate Coupe upgrade.

So what it is this ultimate upgrade I hear you ask, a turbo that guarantees 600bhp regardless of supporting mods, suspension that gives the balance and handling of a mid-engined sports car...

Some people have single, maybe even dual wing mirror spiders but now, for the 1st time I give you ...

... bonnet mouse.

My ex's father once had a squirrel decide to stay under his Cavalier bonnet. The extra bhp gained was immense, but the noise of the acorns that it had stored underneath the scuttle panel rolling from one side to the other on cornering made him evict the little chap

Funniest thing I've seen here in some time laugh

Only downside is I have enough squeaking from the brembos so the mouse mod is a no go for me!

One of our old cats was found as a kitten under the bonnet of a neighbours car.

The neighbour had heard strange noises from under the bonnet for a couple of days before the kitten was discovered.

No one claimed him despite a local radio appeal, so I got home from work one day to find we had a new kitten.

Felix lived for another 15 years.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

As it happens, the night before we had gone to a Mercedes launch the night before at our local city (50 miles away).
On the way home at midnight with clear open roads 4000 revs were easily found.
Its a testament to the filter that nothing got through !
