I thought you were selling it?? Looks lovely though.

I won't be able to come now guys. A bit gutted as there's LOADS of people I know going to this one. :-( But I've been offered a lot of money to work for a mate so money wins I'm afraid. Have a great day all.

That is proper bad boy! Love it.

The last Forge day we queued for an hour and 40 minutes!

Even among all those jap cars, the blob eyed scoob still really stands out amongst the rest. Can't put my finger on why but they look so f**king awesome.

Get someone from here that's local to you to do it. Where do you live? (Great improvements though, new bulbs and lenses freshen it all up a treat and it's the first thing I do too)

Is that because he's a miserable sod?

I had X404HOU when I joined, my first ever 172. Back in April 2005 iirc! I now primarily have a Modus diesel and a mini Works GP amongst others. (172, 1.2, CRV, 525i, fiat 20VT)

I'm not sure they were worth anything back then were they?

My father in law scrapped (for 25 quid iirc) a lotus Cortina. I'll get a picture of it next time im up his house. Silly old sod. It wouldn't start one morning so he towed it to the scrapper. Went out and bought a brand new 1892 XR3. Not bad for a man with zero interest in cars.

There were a handful of 02 exclusives. The numbered plaque is a mystery though, I thought they all had them?

You seem to have absolutely no sense if humour. You must fit in well on CSOC.

The last time I checked (I could be wrong so forgive me if I am) the Renault Clio wasn't in the same market placement as a Ferrari/Merc/BMW. The fiesta is though. And they've sold 10 times the amount.

Have you ever done a track day in both? I have. I went from a Mini JCW auto to just a cooper S manual. Despite the JCW auto being faster, the CS manual was infinitely more fun. The difference was day and night. Obviously it's horses for courses, one mans fun is another mans pain, but I think...

That won't 'pop out' it will just look worse. The crease marks top and bottom will see to that.

Automatic track car! Say 'hell yeah!' Ummm, no.

City powder coaters, £20 a wheel, job done. I wouldn't even entertain trying to remove powder coat DIY.

You're normally a nose man aren't you?

Holy s**t!

Move. I couldn't deal with that. I bought a Subaru once and it got keyed on the first night I had it. I sold it the next day.

Poor management. Managers (on the whole) treat working staff like s**t in the car trade. That then gets reflected in the work they do.

Ask them to stick the number plates on, not screw them on, and leave all the protective wrapping on. Tell them you want the £40/50 they pay for a valet knocked off. Then do it yourself when you get home.

Told you.

Red mate. They are proper tight though so need pulling hard at the same time. You almost need 3 hands. Just make sure you're tugging on the plastic and not the wires or you'll pull them out.

In the bottom pic, slide a small flat blade into the bit just to the right of that cable tie.

I have a surround set up so not worried about sound bars. Thanks for the recommendations though.

As above. I've spent a total of less than £500 on televisions (4 of them!) in the last 7 years and it's now time to replace the one in the lounge. Yes I'm tight. I want it to be able to work on wifi if possible so I can get Netflix etc. I'm not a boffin so super hi resolution doesn't interest...

I think we all need to remember that this is a social event. If you (CS) provide too much activities, people won't get to socialise. All we need is a track (it's why most of us are on this forum) an area for the buffers to display their cars and an opportunity to drink beer with our mates...

One sold on eBay, smashed up, for £7999. They're going up and up and up.
