Just gone to get the magazine to get the details so that I can have a listen, and have left it in the apartment.............in Majorca. Misses thought that I had read it and didn't want it any more!!! Not good!

Hi, Anything that costs £400 plus to TAX, so Scoobies, R32's, etc......... Thankfully my 172 is a track toy, so no tax or insurance to pay.....

Hi, This months EVO is all about best sounding cars, which I thought is quite difficult to do in a magazine, but you can go on their website and listen to them. Everything from a BDA powered Escort to a Maclaren F1. Like the group B Audi, amongst others...

Hi , It was mentioned on another thread about the future of Renaultsport Clio's. EVO mag states the new Clio will have a 1.6 turbo from the Nissan Juke??? Sadly smaller engines and turbos really are the future. Noticed the other day that Ford dont even put a 2litre in the new Mondeo any more...

Hi, Here is one that has had a "proper" rebuild. They had burberry trim to!!!! http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=45896

Hi, Like the original Nova's. Hunted for months for a 1300 sport. Only 500 ever made, came with a pair of 40's as standard. They were made for rallying. Went out with a girl, whose old man had one. Great little car. I will see if I can find a pic, as you will no doubt never see one!

hi, £9k is a lot of money, but is it worth it? Well, as somebody has already pointed out, it worth what someone will pay for it. If you want to keep it 10 years, you would certainly see a return. I sold my last Escort Mk1 RS2000 for £1000, in 1990. Nice ones are fetching £25000 now. They made...

Hi, Yes, best I could do. cant justify £700 for my track day toy. Hoping never to need a roll bar!! Rich

Hi, Just picked up my roll cage and rear strut brace. Sunglasses required!!!:rasp:

Hi, Big sis has just bought a 330d on a 60plate. None of us are big BM fans, but she loves it already. A comfy mileater that will accomodate 4 and get you from A to B at a good pace. All boxes ticked. Hoping to take it for a spin next week when I see her.

Hi, No such thing as a traffic wardens. Traffic wardens went when they de criminalised parking, about 6 years ago(might be 10 years now) They are either Parkrite officers, or civil enforcement officers. And those plates!!!!!

Chaved to the max!!!!! Owner should be shot on sight!

Hi, I reckon Ford will do an RS Fiesta, on the back of the WRC car. I can't see another Focus RS coming though. VW have the Polo WRC, so should do a Polo R or similar....

Hi, VAG definately have an advantage at the mo. The TSI engines are great. Driven both the 1.4 and the 2.0. Wot no lag!! Very reliable, low emissions, economical. Small petrol engines and either turbo or supercharger is the future(or Both). VAG are that clever/confident/cocky that thay have put...

Hi, Not only are turbos here to stay, but I reckon that they will be on 50% of new cars within the next 5 years. They have been around 30 years, so reliability is now no longer an issue. Cost has dropped dramatically. You can buy most turbos these days for about £300. Our NA Renaultsport engines...
