f**king hero! It works! Although I need an Ariel because it won't pick anything up. I assume any old dab Ariel off eBay will be ok?

I did some digging on him too as I was also a bit sceptical. He's actually a fairly talented racing driver according to google, aren't you Luke? ;)

My work radio has DAB written on it. How do I use this function?! Do I need an Ariel? I'm fucked off with radio one and with the normal Ariel it's the only station I can pick up cleanly.

Give him the v5, but you send off the export slip. It's the purple bit on the v5. Very straight forward. It will get collected on a 10 car transporter so it won't be going through any speed cameras or anything.

Have you read my post ^^ above?

If his name is Luke and his surname begins with M, he's legit. I've dealt with him. He transfers the money to the transport company, they pay you cash on collection. Nice guy and very easy to deal with. He's starting a trackday business out there.

Keep a Bag of cement dust handy if you've a new driveway. Oil will be gone faster than that c**t Barry Scott can say bang.

Cable tie and a 99p sponge. Sorted. Not that I've ever tried to hide oil leaks...

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] That's a mere blip buddy. At least the rolling road didn't burn down and at least it didn't make it due to a fault with the car. Chin up old bean. X

f**k me they're nice!!

It can get more and more rotten, the blokes on to a winner. I saw a rotten, and I mean a complete pile of rust, no panels on it, mk1 escort sell on eBay the other week for just over £10,000. Admittedly it was the chassis plate and the V5 that made it worth that but then this car has both of...

Please cut out some silencers and fit a cone filter??? I still lol at 'Jewish racing gold'. I'm going to use that for the rest of my life.

Loads. Saturday just gone a man photographed it in the petrol station. (Probably to go on Barry boys or similar but that's not the point!)

I bought it off a middle aged bloke from Essex. It was his daily for 7 years or something daft. I bought it for a bit of memory lane fun as I had a few when I was younger, and prior to that my dad had one. but the fact it came up so well after a good clean has meant i now want to keep it.

Here's a gay beading shot after I hydr02'd it on Saturday. I love the stuff! Did the wife's passat and my Clio today too!

What's to get?! It's just an old car in good nick. It's not a show piece, not a track car, not a daily. Just an old ford! Lol.

Boot floor is like brand new and that's not an exaggeration! I'll grab some more pics when the suns out. It's a tiny bit scabby round the back arches and it needs a new battery tray. Apart from that, and a fucked door from an attempted break in, it's as new. Underneath has never been welded...

DK cars and bikes in fishponds. I'm on my phone so can't link but google him. I recently used someone else (for cost reasons) and i won't make that mistake again! Lol.

Loads. Been using him 10+ years and he's the only one I'd ever use. There's a thread on here, search 'restoration man Naples' on here and there's a thread of my mk1 that he completely painted.

Whilst you are correct, Renault had it in their brochure as 'Platinum Silver'. MV632.

Nearly a month on, still no tax and still no MOT. I will take it in tomorrow and get it done. She'll be back on the road by friday. :D

DK cars and bikes in Fishponds, Bristol. He isn't cheap (£50 per wheel plus vat) but he is very very good. http://www.yell.com/biz/dk-cars-and-bikes-bristol-4336013/

I'm not as experienced as most on here but i'll throw my 2p in... Megs endurance is the best tyre dressing imo. Lasts bloody ages! SRP is better than triple (imo!) Autoglym plastic dressing is a bit pony too. The first drop of rain will see it all running down your paintwork. Not durable...

The last track day I did (Llandow) my ds2500's crumbled to bits after 3 laps. Literally fell out of the caliper. We went to Halfords and bought their own brand pads for £23 and between me and my mate, the car was out all day and we didn't have fade once! I'd certainly give them a go before...

What did you have before the VRS fletch?

It needs a cambelt next year (he probably won't have it by then) and I fitted new (generic euro car parts) discs and pads to get rid of the advisories on the MOT. If I was in his shoes, i'd buy 4 decent matching tyres, fit uprated discs pads and fluid and just enjoy it. It's more than tidy for...

The biggest thing I have to remind myself when using my DA is to remember to let it spin. So many times I get caught up in the moment and end up pressing too hard and then voila, it's doing sweet fcuk all. I personally think that practice is first priority and then product is second. Because I...

Are you using a DA or a rotary? BMW paint is nearly as hard as Granite so does need effort.

Sell the turinis to a fan boy, £350 on ebay without breaking a sweat. Buy some 15s and tyres. Cheaper tyres for track too!
