There's hope for you all yet then! Just hand the keys back to the Government, ask for your money back and buy a REAL mans car...TEH WILLYAMS! :cool:

That sucks :( That dent is repairable though, pretty sure of that, seen worse. I've had a bad week too, dent in door from dumb ass neighbour, and a nice scratch too from her, and tonight a stupid work colleague drops a can of something onto the side of the car as well, leaving ANOTHER...

Ya but prices have risen partly as a little sideline by the dealers to make a bit more due to the £2k scrappage deal. Prices will drop again, or so they say. What sort of power is a stage 2 tune on the R26R?

I think you need drivers aids if you look at the weight of some of these cars nowadays. I was reading EVO the other day, all about the new Twingo Cup, I almost fell off the toilet seat when they said it was the new 'featherweight' superhatch at something like 1040 Kg. I mean, huh? That's a fat...

So, you put the key in, immobiliser off right? Turn key to start the car, turn key to full ignition and it just clicks? Does the starter motor go? Clicking sounds like a flat battery :) You need to understand what has caused it to go flat though. Try jump starting from another car or...

I remember my first car. It was a life changing event :) Have fun and be careful out on them roads!

Excellent car, saw one today funnily enough. Best of the 306's imho.

yea the 200 has done well. Seems like they have got a lot of the disappointments with the 197 sorted out. Maybe they will do a Williamsesque Ltd Edition run. When I was younger, the Willy had an extremely good time of it in the Press. It became a legend of the era for motor enthusiasts. Thing...

hahaha, yea I'm off to sell mine right now...^^ No idea why the Trophy is not on there, maybe it broke down...?

lol that was my evil cunning plan. Williams ftw hohoho.

Pwned ;)

Engine mounts maybe?

With the Mk1 if this is loose you'll start having the car jump out of gear in corners as well. But yea, I'd go for engine mounts or struts. Does your gearstick wobble about under acceleration much? That would indicate worn mounts. The dogbone is PISS EASY to change, you just need to get under...

Try contacting 'Stan' (Craig irl) @ AP-Developments in future. Very good rep and in Wales. He lurks about on here fairly often... The inner arch liners being worn sounds weird. Have they ever popped off and dragged on the car or ground? Mine have wear marks on both sides, but that's due to...

lol I may do aye! I'll speak to her. It's funny, because my other neighbour told me she usually (before I moved in) parks over our two bays to stop people parking next to her, to avoid PEOPLE DENTING HER CAR LOL.

I've always liked em. Was considering buying one, but I'll test one at an RS day first and we shall see. I'd use it as the 'normal' car and garage the Williams for future generations and for the odd track day. Cup spec is considered too hard by many hacks...for everyday use anyway. Lots of...

One of the problems I have heard about the door-defenders is that occasionally they will attract unwanted attention.

Ahh I see! I was a tad confused by your odd reply :) May be worth putting one of them mini security cams up I guess...if only to be a nosey git.

Damn! I missed those :D Yea, man up, step up ok. She's bigger than me though :(

Yea I know Daz but I hate confrontation. She's unfortunately one of those people that does not 'get' the pride others may have in their cars. I doubt she ever will. Not worth the hassle. I've got a bunch of bodywork to get done this year, I'll have to add the dents and scratches to the list...

Yea I did consider just making some with pipe insulation, cloth and magnets...but I cant be arsed hehe.

If so...what? Let it keep happening and do nothing? Fact is I have a private parking bay at work in a secure compound, no one parks next to me. No one can park in the bay at home next to me except my neighbour. I've not been anywhere but work or home in that car. I am not Sherlock Holmes, but...

Gonna get some of these after I get my parking dents from other inconsiderate motorists...

I'd like to read that article!

I agree, that is a really nice looking car. Loving the shiny polished paint!

Of course, the Williams wins again :rasp:

That's 2Live :)

Haha! WC's very own little corner on this vast site :D I see the PH sticker on the bonnet, may put a tiny one on mine to show my allegiance too!

Holding up the pack more like! That was a excellent day out at Brands...up till the point the engine went bang hehe. Nice piccies 2 Live. What was the magazine with the Ultimate Clio article?

Nice thread, good work :) The rust point you painted over is indeed a common area for the to go and they often rust all the way through like that. I think what you have done is fine. The reason they rust there is there is no where for water to escape...but in your case there is now lol.
