Welcome to the club knowlewestfresh. Where in the SW are you?

Lol I didn't see the unwashed part. Yep I know quite a few people who work for Barlows :)

I'm coming back soon ;)

Number 40 with the blue VRS estate in the driveway. And yours looked really nice! White isn't usually a colour I like cars in but yours came up immense tbh! Is it on HRs as well Gaz?

I'm thinking for the northwest to break it down but still have a slight gap between is to have one rep in Chester/Eport area, one in Manchester and one say Blackpool way?

Watch this space! ;)

Nope, maybe something at the back of my head when I bought the place as I'm in the process of building a track car ;) lol

Just down the road from my new place, spotted the owner outside cleaning it for most of the afternoon and it was looking pretty awesome! Good to know who this is and if the owner uses this place at all :)

I don't think they are made for out and out lap times at the price they are set at, for me they are a good middle that last and give good grip on track for track days with cooling time between sessions

Re: CS Areas Day 14 (SOUTH WEST "south") 21.09.14 So this is going to be the initial meeting place for Sunday the 21st and I'm going to say mid day 12:00 as the meeting time, might get a bit of food from the pub at this post code and head off for a drive and some photos, if the menu looks...

From myself a Rep in the plymouth area is a good place to work from for the Cornwall - Devon area Exeter needs one also to control mid SW and then a northern SW rep. each way they travel then is about 40 mins to the edge of the area they populate. and yes you can say plymouth to the lizzard...

Re: CS Areas Day 14 (SOUTH WEST "south") 21.09.14 I know you all personally so I know what's going on

Re: CS Areas Day 14 (SOUTH WEST "south") 21.09.14 Next time something happens the ban hammer is coming down swiftly and it doesn't matter if your a first time offender. Also anyone can report a problem discreetly to myself without any come back on them self!

Re: CS Areas Day 14 (SOUTH WEST "south") 21.09.14 Could you find me a post code for that please? And ye we will sort some internet time out for the southwest ;)

a video from the day :)

Re: CS Areas Day 14 (SOUTH WEST "south") 21.09.14 so then this is a month away now and we need to start pulling together to put the final points in place. we have a confirmed position of bodmin to run round with a stop off along the way for some food :) but where is the best place for the...

RS tuning seems to have the clutch issues sorted by doing safe maps for the old PD engines. Very good maps but good clutch longevity along with it if you have good item before the map :)

A 130 maps to about 170bhp safely but I think you need to keep the torque down on them. I think an estate octy would be a good shout, roof bars and tow hitch would be nice additions too if I was to look for one :)

Ye I like the 150s but this car is for keeping things cheap so I'm looking at a 130 bora/passat/golf or something in the seat/skoda range

After looking around I don't think I would buy anything without a 1.9 PD VAG in my price range now, full service history needed obviously but seem perfect for what I need plus cars like the B5 passat and seat altea fall inky that category which seem perfect for the load lugging needs I may have...

Currently in Chester in cheshire at my new place, travel down to Cornwall for work and head home every so often. Best of both worlds as I keep an eye out for good prices up here and enjoy the living of Cornwall whilst I'm there lol

So you tow your track car with a 1.5 DCI Megane? No clutch or gearbox problems etc with towing? I like the meganes due to the cost of running etc so it's good to see someone getting along well with one :)

ye I will collect all the info up and sort something out for people to look over, it's not as much to do the test as you would think (if your a fairly competent driver) Ye that's sorta the thing I'm looking for that's big enough to take kayaks on the roof and camping stuff I steadying of...

Ye I just refreshed my page and spotted 3 1.5 DCI threads all about them being broken lol might have a word with my m8 at seat then and see if he's got anything in.

Yep that's why I just stuffed off searching for something that doesn't really exist or does within very small margins and just did the test, it's there forever once you do it anyway :) just looked at a VW bora and they come in within my price range but they are £100 a year extra on tax not...

no I have my B+E licence also which I took earlier this year

Hmm in general they go outside the box of what this car is for which firstly it needs to be a general work horse for buttons per year, and when you look at VAG/premium brands running costs go pretty high :S otherwise a passat/ bora would be first choice for me!

Are they really that poor?

Well had a look and a nice megane with around 70k and FSH is about £2000 at the moment, they have £30 a year tax which is great and it will take the daily crap of load lugging and motorways plus a trailer the odd time so I think I'm looking towards one of them now. anything to watch out for on...

Would the megane be better in this situation as the megane then as it's weight is higher plus it got an extra 100kg towing weight over the clio...
