God knows who you are but if the lad behind you in the micra wasn't your mate you have the patience of a saint.
Also... I got bored waiting up slack hill
So I've finally got round to sorting some of the paint work on the Audi. It's covered in a lot of swirls and an alarming number of scratches and scuffs. Fair play to the guy who sold it me, he kept it dirty when I went to view it and collect it. Did a good job of hiding them tbh.
Got the DA out...
Finally got some.
Clio's looking sorry for itself these days.
The party piece
Wasn't happy with the way the night shots turned out, but they mix it up a bit.
So with the Clio becoming more and more unreliable, and a list of things catching up on me that needed fixing, I packed it in.
Been looking for one of these for a good 18 months now, but only seriously started looking for the last couple of months. Seen a few interesting ones pop up for sale in...
After the wheel nearly falling off this morning, I thought my day couldn't get much worse. Turns out I was wrong.
The car won't start now. Im just getting a clicking from the (starter motor?).
It's not the battery, I've had the car on jump leads and its still not working. Battery voltage is...
Erm hi..... Since my laptop died and the Clio died, I've not been about that much. So much catching up has to be done. Are the retards still joining thick and fast, and what comedy gold have I missed?
Since the end of May I've done around 800 miles in the car, I've been constantly trying to get...
Been to see Mr 519 today as I needed something doing to sort my suspension before my MOT in a fortnight. So a brand new set of Vmaxx has gone on, to see me through untill developments have occured.
I knew my Gaz coilovers were f*cked, as they weren't driving right, we'd seen that they had all...
Myself and Gray had a day of attacking his wheels on the meg. Couldn't see evidence of them being removed and cleaned in a long time. So we set to work.
Car was washed down very briefly, with Grays supernatural shampoo.
Then onto the real reason we were here.
Wheels and arches were to...
Well, I had this one last Sunday, but only just got chance to sort through all the pictures for it.
Having watched me going over Addz's new mini, a friend asked me to detail his M3 for him... but we delayed it untill the nights drew out a bit.
So with the lovely weather we had last weekend, I...
Got a chance to give the clio a going over last weekend so some pictures of that, also got a friend of a friends M3 coming over at the weekend for a detail, so that should be fun.
Nothing fantastic:
50:50 showing level of correction on the roof
Not 100% but enough to keep it looking nice...
Clocks have gone forwards, nights are lighter. Peacock thursdays will commence.
Starting on April the 21st. Weather dependant.
Should there be bad weather, first meet will commence April 28th.
Happy? Good.
So this is part 1 of 2...
Been travelling all over Derbyshire today collecting things and having wheels stripped of tyres.
Managed to primer up all 4 superleggs today, paint shall commence tomorrow. Who knows what colour though ;)
Removing the wheel weights and glue was a pain in the...
Right, erm...
Meet.
We've got two choices, meet up at Donny services so the Leicester lot can join in, or meet up around Mansfield so the Lincoln lot can join in... or just go to Lincoln
What would people prefer? It's no good me putting a time and place yet before finding out how many people...
I must have been feeling unwell today as I ended up cleaning the car.
It was mainly prompted by my boss telling me I needed to clean my number plate last night, as it was too dirty. Now, when your boss walks out of the office with oil and grease all over his hands and face, but then tells you...
Just put on the new wheels I've had off mr coopahstar. A set of 15" supperleggeras and they're stupidly light! Make my pro race's feel like they're made of lead.
However... I'm not sure white and orange go together... Ideas for colours then?
Mini.
Addz came over today for the cleaning session I'd promised him for at least 8 months. So we got stuck in on his new car. Personally I'm a massive fan, and think it was a good move to sack the vee. So much so that I'm seriously considering the finance on owning a GP :o
Anyway, pictures...
Feel as though I am. Been 3 years that I've had it now, turning 22 next week. Virtually all of my friends have just bought new cars in the last month. I'm getting bored(ish).
My boss was speaking to me earlier and said "it's a chavs car. A stupidly low, loud chavvy clio", and tbh I can see...
That's all really, doesn't have to be anything special, I just like forza.
Lost track of the whole console thing when the latest lot came out, was just wondering how to go about getting a cheap x box and forza?
Would a cheap one off ebay be wise?
Anything to watch out for?
Costs involved for...
Been covered a million times I know, but we're doing it again.
I'm in the market for a new set of coilovers as I'm fed up with my Gaz dampers.
What would people recommend in regards to cup packed suspension?
Are Gaz golds prone to leaking just as much as the cheap gaz's?
Machining 172...
Mr Gray came over this morning to get his meg detailed. A very nice car it is indeed, much better than any clio, in every way shape and form :dapprove:
So anyway, the car was relatively clean before we started. Just bugs and general road crap on it.
We set to work on it with a...
