Oh man that is gorgeous

Haven’t been in this place in well over 15 years and his old 19 is still there. The amount of work in it is still impressive today.

BIFCAIDS · Jul 10, 2024

Thats a phase I'm glad we've passed.

massiveCoRbyn · Jul 10, 2024

That's most definitely not my thing, but fair play, some hours went into that.

Surprised a car audio place is still going to be honest though, as there can't be much money in it nowadays I wouldn't have thought.

Wow. Such a special little thing! I still miss my brother's Si. Black with green trim. Lovely thing.

There’s actually a couple local to us that have been around years. They’ve branched out to do dashcams, retrofitting oem parts etc. Seem to be doing well which is good.

One even has all the audio stuff on display like Halfords used to 😎

I imagine for a few, the online side supports the physical store. The caraudiosecurity guys seem to do ok.

I can never fathom the amount of money those cars must’ve cost to build.

I had a fiesta si, in aubergine. Loved it and the seats were something else!

I'd bet he's made zero off ForEx trading and a couple of million off 'training and mentoring' people into how to make money on ForEx trades.

Yeah its basically a pyramid scheme like all other online get rich programs.

Love the R19 - So much imagination back in those days!

_Tom · Jul 13, 2024

Some motors from the car meet organised once a month in the town a live. Started off just a few motors but now huge. I counted four Ford GT’s..

Hard job picking one out of that line up to take home.

Nice motors though

Old Jag/Daimler getting prepped for one last drive.

Nickw88 · Jul 15, 2024

Saw these two parked up in Lisbon today.

Matt Cup · Jul 15, 2024

Saw one of these today in this exact spec (M5 CS Frozen Deep Green Metallic)

Was strange to see it as a lhd but on UK plates.

TBF it’s a nice thing to look at (EVEN with the matte paint @MarkCup) and the light gold wheels finished the whole package off 👌

Plus this evolution of M5 is infinitely better looking than the new one that replaces it.

Nickw88 · Jul 19, 2024

Managed to catch a shot of this tonight. Apparently untaxed and no MOT, but sitting on less than 30,000 miles

Daniel · Jul 19, 2024

Saw this today. Bloke about my age. Had a lovely little chat. 👌🏽

I'd absolutely love another Nova. A Silk Violet GSi would be my first choice, but honestly, even a little white 1.3 DR would be nice.

They drive awful though, with that weird offset steering position and the pedals being to the left so you end up with scoliosis. Then you smash your shins on that weird little under dash shelf EVERY SINGLE TIME you get in.

They look amazing though.

there's one of those sat rotting on a drive on my street. It's been sat there for at least ten years.

RustyMojo · Jul 19, 2024

Fiesta Si, not seen one of those in years, were proper nice back in the day. Seats were mega if I remember correctly

Gally · Jul 19, 2024

We were just talking about them the other day on here! Something weird about that one? Didn’t it have a bigger spoiler? Maybe my brother changed his. The bumper is right on the rear but did they do one in blue like that? Weird wheels?
