Well I’m not sure how I ended up here. Actually, I do. I was looking for an excuse to get another car since I’m now only an VW up! GTI man, and thought “I know, I’ll make it an estate and call it a dog car!”. So the usual sub £10k suspects (mostly Audi S cars and the like) were littering my...

Please remove if not allowed. A friend put his 200 up sale recently. I went to go have a quick blast in exchange for taking a few photos of it, its a very nice car. Gears are good, hes had the belts done at Beaniesport recently. Overall very honest. I thought I'd share it here in case anyone is...

My guilty pleasure is looking at a few of the chod-fiilled auctions when I'm bored. Anglia Car Auctions is always a good one! https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/sat-28th-29th-august/2005-renault-megane-sport-225-6-577-miles-from-new/ I always see insane low mileage cars like this...

Ah yes, the classic 172 intermittent speedo fault. Its a 2003/03 Car. Does that mean its the later gearbox and therefore doesnt have a speedo sensor on it? Easiest way to tell? And if it DOESNT Have a sensor, whats the next thing to check?

I seem to have a bit of a thing for buying 182's, tidying them up a bit and then getting bored and selling them. So here's the latest purchase, may use it for some Trackdays when we can but equally my starter business is kicking off a bit faster than imagined so may just sell on. Got it blind...

Morning all, Anyone fire up their PC today to find this? Followed by... It happens when I try to open any office applications. On startup I was told I needed to finish up setting up my device as well (as if I did a fresh install), so I assume it was a large update? I've so far tried: -...

Afternoon, Has anyone whos got the new COD (Cold War) got the port forwarding right? I did mine pretty much day one using these: https://portforward.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/ This worked up until last night, and now my NAT type has gone from "OPEN" to "Moderate" I have a static IP...

And it’s just as shite as you’re all thinking. For at least 10 years I’ve looked, thought about it, backed out and dodged buying a 996. Since they were released when I was an impressionable age, something about their ugly headlights and rounded 90s features drew me in. I imagine “Tina” from...

I've bought a new rear view/interior mirror to replace the wavey one in my 182. Only problem is, I cant get the old one off! 17 year old Jason broke a windscreen on a car doing this, so im a bit wary. It would appear that the mirror+Mount slide up off the windscreen, but theres a rain sensor...

Maybe I’m just a miserable b*****d. Maybe it’s because I’m looking to buy my 2nd 182 in as many months... but the market for these cars is just full of bottom feeders. Id like to preface this with the fact people selling them on here seem to be alright, messaged about a few recently and had...

The blower fan is making quite a squeel at higher speeds! Sometimes hitting a bump shuts it up a bit, so I would assume theres a naff bearing in there somewhere. Easy to remove, strip down and fix or?

Guess I best start a proper thread for the 182 I bought last week. I wanted some cheap fun for the summer, mostly for trackdays as the M2 is a bit to expensive to really enjoy on a track! 2 weeks prior I bought an MG ZT, then proceeded to track it and sell it for a profit. With that profit I...

Yeah thats right. It was about 10 years ago I sold my first car, a 2009 Clio GT. I've wanted a little 172/182 ever since! Finally, I ran out of excuses not to buy one and.... It needs belts, a rear silencer and all 4 wheels refurbing for a start. It also has some dodgy bits of bodywork here...

Since I'm deciding to get active on these forums again, I thought I'd share some images from my Pre-Lockdown Trip to Japan. Given the catagory of forum I'm posting in, I guess its best to stick to the car themed stuff I managed to cram in the two weeks we were out there. When I say pre...

I havent posted on here on a while, and whilst WFH I feel a little Forum posting renaissance coming along. Since selling the slut of the R56 Mini world, and giving back the MK7.5 Golf GTI Lease car, I have moved on. Last September I picked up my first brand new car purchase, discounting the...

I made a promise to myself that I'd buy no new cars in 2019, after the Boxster I decided 2 cars is enough and I really should grow up a bit. So here's the car I bought a couple weeks back. A 2009 John Cooper Works, very much "Track" spec. I've been wanting something track focused for years...

A few months back I was introduced to a chap who was building something rather cool for our petrolheads, I'd been following his endeavours out in Dubai and was excited to see what was going to be made of it over here. As it turns out, Caffeine and Machines new HQ is quite an ambitious project...

But this time, I took more pictures... like, 20? For those that don't know, the Sunday Scramble event at Bicester Heritage has massively grown in popularity over the past couple of years. As an unfortunate child of a Bicester myself, it's great to see something so great very local. And for me...

A US based outfit doing awesome meet ups with air cooled Porsches decided to have their first UK event across the road from my flat, which was nice. I wandered over, got soaked, took some pics. DSC_0507 by Jason.Easton, on Flickr DSC_0446 by Jason.Easton, on Flickr DSC_0475 by Jason.Easton...

A few weeks back I decided to sell the M3. I absolutely loved it, and it was such a mint example. However, it wasnt being used enough and it was a lot of money to have sat there. So I sold it last Saturday. And on Sunday, I went and got this. So much for not replacing it... DSC_0414 by...

Another Jason "New car thread". I got a little tired of driving old shitters to and from work, and a little tempted by these lol lease deals you see flying around. One thing sort of led to another, and after a few months wait, I took delivery of this: MK7.5 Golf GTI, 5 Door, "Rubin Black"...

Working long hours and trying to get a start up business off the ground is doing some very weird things to my mind. I often find my ebay watch list looking quite eclectic, last week it had a Renault Avantime and about 3 Sega Master Systems in it. This week, it had a lot of MK2 Golfs. You see...

A small gathering of interesting stuff at "The Duke of London". The company itself specialising in selling a fantastically diverse range of cars, they've recently moved to a bigger place and this is the first "Classics & Cake" event held there. I took some pictures, here they are. From what I...

So for those who know me, I have been banging on about how great my little GT86 is since I bought it back in September 2015. So why then have I I just traded it in for this? (Apologies for shitty iPhone pics) Untitled by Jason.Easton, on Flickr Well, there are about 414 good reasons laying...

Since this is one of the only forums I bother looking at anymore, and just happens to have the largest collections of Volvos, I thought I'd share a full thread of my latest acquisition with you lot. So if you look into my deepest, darkest history on here you'll see I have a Toyota GT86. And...

Every day I use a Windows PC (which, is every day) I thank the sweet lord for my Mac. Basically, the Gaming PC I have has decided it doesn't want to boot up now. I get the "Welcome" screen for a long time then just a black screen with a curser. Nothing works at all, no key presses, no mouse...

Oh god, this is sad. Really, really sad. I've basically found myself collecting old games/consoles from when I was a kid or ones I missed out on. It kinda started when I found my old Dreamcast and N64 in the Garage and used it to plug a gap in my TV set up. I'm now at the point where I've sort...

Salon Privé is essentially a place for owners and dealers to show off their insanely expensive cars, you honestly won't find these calibre of cars in one show anywhere else. Oh, and it happens to be up the road from me. So last year I went here and the weather was amazing, the cars were amazing...

I went to Bicester Heritages' Sunday Scramble with a massive hangover. That is my excuse for mainly only taking photos of Sams F40, and his newest acquisition, a 911 "ST" by Autofarm Porsche. Overall, its an awesome event. For years most of this site had laid untouched and it is great to see...

An issue that I've googled the hell out of, found multiple examples of people with the same problem (Some dating back to 2007!) and not 1 working solution at all. Can Cliosport sort what the rest of the internet couldn't? I've installed Steam on a new PC build. I've purchased rFactor2, this was...
