Ant, was/is he an actual detailer? Or just a hobbyist?

As I say, I have no clue about these ceramic sealants (and no interest in learning TBH! Lol) but to my rookie mind, I'm in 100% agreement with you. Has anyone else in the R26 club had this issue at all that you know of?

Black gold paint is a piece of piss to swirl. Like, breathe on it and it scratches. That said, I've never had much to do with this ceramic bollox so not sure how well it will protect. As a side note, I never use dry drying towels, I always soak them in very warm water and a splash of drying...

Happy days, my Monaco is sat in the garage under a cover. New paint, wheels refurbed, new tyres, belts, new suspension... the list goes on! I'll get it out in the summer.

Still going well I hope mate?

174k on my E320cdi 151k on my S Max 135k on my Impreza Mileage doesn't bother me...

Whilst I kind of agree with you, small tracks like this are usually packed with beginners. And they're too busy looking forwards and trying to concentrate. If it was a £200 day at Brands Hatch I could understand your frustrations but at a little track like this, just back off for half a lap...

He didn't mean you.

Did you vomit at any point during the weekend? And more importantly, did you miss me??

Most of which could be avoided if he bothered to actually look at the car before he bought it.

I.... Well.... I'm not.... It's big. That's for certain.

My mates car (94db static) has the loudest itb's in the world and they never said anything to him last year. He gets moaned at at most tracks too. Been black flagged at Bedford twice! Lol 100db static for your mates car is stupid loud for a Clio.

Must've missed that one...

Is just to point out to the CSF virgins, that the Renault turbo lot are absolutely outstanding. Me and my mate spent hours chatting to them on the evening. One guy with a mint black GTT, another guy with a red Turbo van and another guy with a white (rapid!) van. Probably the friendliest car...

It will always be active until the car has had its replacement. If it's already had a new catch, then there is no more recall.

Just book the camping you raving homo. It's a bloody brilliant evening, you'd be mad not to.

Don't be scared?? Have you SEEN @DaveDreads??

Can't help with the fuel but the water leak is one of two things; Leaves blocking the scuttle drain (remove all the bits, pull out the rubber bung, sorted) Or it's the brake master cylinder to bulkhead seal. An absolute t**t of a job and one that I'll happily pay someone else to do.

They've been rubbing it down for nearly 9 weeks?

I've witnessed an apprentice drive a 6 month old 7 series off a ramp. That was 6ft in the air. I know of two drivers crash two customers cars into each other at traffic lights. A mechanic (who's now fired) went and sat in a customers car for a fag on his dinner break and burnt a hole the...

What do you mean 'down the pecking order' ? He's a customer. Simple as that. I don't understand how people get away with s**t like this?? We get monumentally fucked if we're more than 12 hours late with a customer deadline. To the point that some of our blokes start at 4am to make sure the...

50 mile or 150 miles i'd have been down there. I wish my customers were as easy as you!! They haven't been repairing your rust. It doesn't take 8 weeks. In fact you'd be hard pushed to drag it out 8 days! You need to find out wtf they've done to your car. My bet is, they've crashed it.

I appreciate styling is entirely subjective, and the Skoda isn't exactly a beauty queen... But the Ibiza's are minging. No ta.

Have you been in to see the car? What if one of the staff stuffed it on the way home one night and they're rebuilding it?? Lol

Turned 109k on the way home tonight actually.

Mines £3k and it's as good as anything out there. Hmmm, not sure. I assume so?? It can keep up with my mates MCS up until about 80mph. Unless it's wet. Driving a tdi hard in the wet is pointless. Zero traction as soon as it picks up.

They're a massive pain. As is the paintwork being black. A red or silver one with black seats would be perfect.

I took it on a track day and whilst I agree about the handling day to day, on track it's actually quite good. Everyone that came out in it couldn't believe what I was keeping up with. And it did 25mpg over the whole day! Lol My Subaru won't do that downhill with the wind behind it let alone on...

160bhp with a map. With a different intake, hybrid turbo and some odds and sods, 200+bhp and 400+ft lb of torque. It goes like stink as standard though. I e yet to drive it and think "this needs more power". It's just got torque everywhere.

I love this little car. It's fantastic! I washed it after work and took some pics as I've got someone half interested in buying it. If anyone wants a cheap to run, quick, comfy car I'd thoroughly recommend one. (In red or silver, black is a pain in the f**king ass!)
