Default Oh I want my damaged boot fixed-I have not cleaned the car since

the truck reversed in to the back and the car just doesnt seem the same.
I have to wait three weeks for the shop I want as they are in demand and the new boot takes 20 days ex the Fatherland anyway.
On a brighter note the car is running like a dream.
Went for a run today and for a while forgot about the damaged boot.
The car is so much nicer to drive since replacement of the front springs especially when hammering into a good fast bend at speed.
This is where the car now seems at its best IMHO
although if decellerating into a bend things are still a little stubborn to pull around but hey it just means that I drive a little more aggressively and have more fun.
I scanned for faults and checked the measuring blocks for the first time in quite a while and everything is good still.
roll on the date with the panel shop

Remind me, why did you change the springs?

Default I had the OEM ones compressed-and it was a dismal failure so I had

shorter ones made with a firmer wire to improve stability
