Congratulations, glad the search was concluded successfully!

H&R or Eibach are reputable. Check out Venom Motorsport's website. Hubcentric is not a brand I've heard of, I thought it was a word that means the spacer has a little lip on it? The opposite to that being a flat spacer. Any spacer, even a 5mm flat spacer will increase stresses, won't they? But...

Who did you buy it from then?

How much is a single?

Dan@SJM in Somerset (?)

Is it worth starting a list of interested parties, to give you an idea of numbers?

Fingers crossed it turns up soon, but how long would the insurance company wait before they process a claim and settle?

You choose to buy a used car, and if you buy privately you even get to meet the previous owner. You're prepared for the situation knowing that someone else has 'experienced' the car, and you make a judgement call to buy or not to buy. You don't choose to have your car stolen and you probably...

Can't imagine what it must feel like, car looked lovely. If it was mine I would want the scenario where I didn't get the car back and got the best payout possible. It wouldn't sit well with me that it could have been driven by a rapist / paedophile, used to commit further crime, or had sex /...

Date change to accommodate Mrs Original Boy Racer's birthday (@Pete.) This will now be happening on the weekend of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th March 2016. Accommodation will be booked before Christmas, which just leaves the route to plan, and whether to open it up to the masses or keep it...

And if anyone's interested in a few days driving in Wales I'm planning on heading up on Friday 18th March, overnight in Llangollen, Saturday in North Wales finishing up with a night in Aberystwyth, then Sunday down to South Wales. Definitely no off-roading this time!!! Come along if you're free.

Cheers Tommo It wasn't there but the other chap's Subaru was, albeit undercover. The 205 sounds proper. Cheers Andy! Thanks Rob. Ha ha, cheers JP.

Is it problems with reliability that are the issue, or is it people's expectations? I think too many people choose to spend x thousand pounds modifying a 10 year old car to use for 10k hard miles a year and are expecting to have exactly the same running/maintenance costs. You surely have to...

December 2015 - 58,900 Winter sucks. I've driven less than 100 miles in the last few months and I hate leaving the car for so long but I have no motivation to drive it in these cold, dark and wet conditions when I don't have to. Another reason I've been avoiding driving is because since Wales...

What are your requirements? Price / noise / wet grip / dry grip / grip in cold conditions / longevity / feel / etc. You can't have everything, tyres are a compromise so name your most important two attributes.

Errr, hi Gus. Check out three posts above :)

Bump... Anyone else listened to Serial? American fact-based documentary-style podcast about a potential miscarriage of justice in a first degree murder case. Only three episodes in but it's fascinating and completely addictive!

If you go in with your eyes open knowing that you'll pay more for a Trophy, that the Sachs might need a refurb during your ownership irrespective of when they were done last, but that when you sell you'll be able to ask for more than a 182, then it makes for an interesting proposition. From a...

The article says 'could' not 'will'. I hope no direct action is being taken as a result of this article. Those who enjoy driving will continue to do so, and those who choose to invest today for a future return will be happy with their choice. I wonder if the FTSE will outperform Trophy...

From what I heard it was bought for a song a few years back, had a big service recently so is mechanically sound. The wheels are off for refurb and clearly it needs a significant clean or possibly some paint work but then it would be more than presentable. £10k doesn't mean the owner wants to...

Also worth mentioning Dan & Russ are hoping to offer the original RS2 for sale soon - chances are they will be easier to contact than the person/people behind the recently revived RS2 website. More details to come in the coming fortnight once everything has been sorted behind the scenes.

You're not, and it's not. Think you're getting confused with Terry Nutkins Developments... ???

Who is it you use @Cub.?

It's only a car.

Clio Trophy spotted today (Sunday 11th Oct). Anyone on here?

Lovely stuff there and nice photos but the plates, especially the rear, look odd but I can't put my finger on why...?

A big company making a mistake? Yep, pretty sure it happens every single day.

The number isn't relevant, I think the OP has it right - being prepared. I love the idea of a turbo conversion for my 182 but recently I've seen at least a few comments (not isolated to Clios) that people are being forced to sell or are unhappy with what they've ended up with because it keeps...

What are your expectations in terms of reliability and ongoing costs? How many miles will you cover and how handy are you if things to break? Just wondering if you see this as a fit and forget upgrade, or are preparing for £1,000 a year costs to keep everything sweet.
