If you're not massively into car cleaning but just want a nice shiny car with minimal effort... Meguires gold class shampoo A good quality drying towel Autoglym super resin polish or Auto finesse Triple. Both are easy and good. 3M glass cleaning foam and a glass cloth Meguires endurance...

It didn't run out, they just moved it all into the big marquee. I had 10 sausages and a burger whilst you clowns were dancing around.

It's only a car. Just buy another one. (And before anyone says about money, if you can't afford to write off your car on track, either insure it or don't participate!)

You're missing out.

@Cub. Is in there too.

I thought I recognised the reg, He lived in Yate, Bristol. Hold on...

There is no such thing as a mk1. The one in the pic is a mk2 clio. Phase 1. The next shape (172 cup/182/trophy) are mk2 clios but phase 2.

No no. Uninteresting is just fine.

According to their rules, You need one yes. Having said that I've never used one. It's for the best though as if you need to be recovered and there's no tow eye, they'll hook it around your wishbone and smash your bumper to bits.

Jack the car up securely. Hold the wheel in 12 and 6 o clock position and wobble the wheel. And again in 9 & 3 o clock. If you can hear/feel a light knocking It will either be track rod end or ball joint. Better still, you look underneath and get the wife to wobble the wheel.

When I had my valeting business I had a £2000 190 bar 90 degree hot wash. I now clean cars on my driveway for the same customers using a £25 halfords pressure washer. Nobody can tell the difference.

f**k me Maria doesn't look like she used to.

Whilst I agree, stripped out cars feel awesome fun and genuinely feel faster, you either have to go balls out (a la Sam) or not at all. Unless you want to properly strip it to the bare bones, don't bother.

One if the guys there said "oh he's got a lot on his mind at the moment" Haven't we all?? But surely if you're invited to an event, either show up and put some effort in or don't bother coming? I was actually quite excited to be stood where I was and he just looked at me like 'wtf are you...

He was at our track day yesterday. Possibly the most rude and obnoxious man I've ever stood next to. And he's proper short.

You've done a great job Gally but f**k me that is one uninteresting car! Lol

Dampers are £500 for a refurb. Cambelt/dephaser is every 5yrs/72k and is the thick end if £600 if you have it done properly. (If you don't, it will be 20bhp down!) Everything else is pretty cheap on them and there's no horror stories to worry about.

Loosen the mount, use a lever bar to tilt the engine away from where it's knocking, whilst holding it in position, tighten the mount. Drink a beer and admire your handy work.

Can of satin black; £3.99 Roll of masking tape; £1.99 Bosh.

I can't believe Spray shack weren't there. They'd sell boat loads of bits if they went!

Yes they'll take 195/50/15. Yes they'll look pony.

It's August now dude.

Cable tie it in.

Track or road? On the road I ran 36 all round as they are very soft walled. Did 4000 miles in them and they looked new still. No idea about track, I drive a diesel Ffs.

After the first meeting with a hedge, did you not consider slowing down?

Sorry, I thought you changed them yourself... Must have you confused with someone else. In that case, £1000 all day long.

If you've had no interest then it's too expensive. We're selling 50 minis a month retail and putting a good 10+ through auction so the market is still strong despite this being a typically quiet time of year. So I'd say if you've advertised it properly (decent photos, on autotrader, with a...

£1,495 with a view to getting anything over £1,200. Keyed door means you won't get £1,500.

18's are shat. Make it look like a C220 diesel. 19s FTW.

Hence why I'm holding on to my three cars as long as I can. Low mile 172, one owner fiat 20VT and a mini Works GP. Every time I look on AT they're going for more money! I just wish I jumped on the Cosworth wagon sooner. I remember when £10k got you a concours EsCos. Looking at £20k plus now...
