My clutch started slipping around 5 weeks ago and as I was skint at the time couldn't afford to get it replaced straight away, so I have been driving the car off boost for a whole month cry it has been rather quite depressing.

But last Thursday after pay day I took the car to motormech for a new clutch. A lot of moolar to shell out but OMG the car feels absolutely amazing, I really missed the performance. I can finally drive my car properly again now and I find myself jumping in it and going for ramdon drives. Its costing me more than I thought but I absolutely love this car.
