The things which have been done on our Regal besides the regular maintenance. October 2003 - Brakes overhaul, front and rear. All ignition parts and vacuum hoses changed. August 2004 - A lot of work at the front of the car, some welding, new coil springs, new shock absorbers, wheels re-aligned all with help from a very special car-lift. August 2005 - New exhaust and hi-jackers. January 2006 - Impco LPG (Liquified Petrol Gas) installation installed. A common thing to do in Holland because of the sky-high gasoline prices (the highest in the world). January 2009 - Friday the 9th of January I experienced what it was to drive on black ice and ended in a ditch. Technically I just had to re-align the wheels, but the body is completely totaled. I'm still driving the Regal, but I think the next story is about how the Regal will perform in a banger race. July 2010 - Sunday the 4th of July our Regal entered the Crazy Car Crash competion in Bentelo.
