Looks good mate, thanks to the tasteful mods!

In their day they were the dogs danglies though :)

Yeah that was the going rate at the time.

£16k IIRC.

Okay, well this is my mates MINT Escort Mexico... Anyone want to guess how much he sold it for in 2010?

Assume he means 10 second shutter on a tripod. Agreed that using something like an f8 aperture should sort it, but also... Are you using a cable or remote shutter, or pressing the button on the body of the camera?

That's the silver one isn't it. Edit, beaten to it.

...I saw that one too. Best bit about the Ignis is after all the faffing about I've done with all of mine I can honestly say they're pretty much best left alone. Yes, it'll corner better on coilovers but you'll be in a wheelchair with no spine within 12 months!

Aww! (That suspension was harder than a polar bears nipples!) Amazing cars though! So what's next?

Which are the ones to avoid, with the same temperamental engines as the Peugeot Gti? I understand that they're the middle-aged ones, but how can you tell? Looking at Clubman's on eBay as I could get my bike in easier.

Lovely car that is, Dan! Maybe I need to seriously consider a Mini and stop looking at sub-£1500 sh*tters. I've got £20k to play with ffs! I should at least take a closer look at Dave's as it sounds ideal.

There's definitely something about Combe... I did the Forge Action Day a couple of years ago and the briefing was a casual affair where they basically asked you nicely not to crash. I'd never seen so many tracksuits in one place. Nobody had listened to the briefing and within a lap or so someone...

That was a weird crash... Looks like a rear calliper locked or something!?

So that's why Matt Wills has a Twingo...

Lotus Cortina's are lapping around the 1:30 mark, and classic Mini's around 1:36... Bloody impressive if you ask me!

An extended version...

I actually posted on MX5Nutz FB page asking about drift days the other week lol.

Typical day at the office for me...

In my book that's keeping it neat and tidy.

Some fantastically expensive motors there! I see the Jag prototype from Harry's Garage is there too... I also noticed the denim shirts and golf caps were in full effect!

2007 2015 Plus an MX-5 as well...

I'm good mates with Titch and have driven the Cat & Fiddle with him before, so I'm sure he'll be up for meeting up again :)

Don't those average speed cameras spoil your fun, or don't they work in the dark? You'll have to pm me next time you head over there so I can see it in the flesh :)

Love it... One of my favourite cars on the forum. That's the Cat & Fiddle run that you're on isn't it?

That's too far south for most of us... Donington or Oulton are probably the most central venues.

Still looks great, fellow short person! Makes me miss my old 197!

That does surprise me... Those Megane race cars don't hang about then! It was Da Costa, yes.

No, they were using a smaller circuit as the cars were lapping pretty frequently. I'd imagine Donington or Oulton would be much better though as the entertainment wouldn't look so spread-out.

The fact that it was quiet made it more enjoyable IMO. No crowds and no queues meant that you could pretty much see or do what you wanted at any time. My only criticism was there wasn't enough to entertain all day and a smaller venue would've suited it better.

Couple from me... I got to meet Chris Harris too!
