Big old awning there. I thought you were using that as a Garage.
When you are using an awning that big is there much benefit over an estate car with a big tent?
Interesting. Had been considering a late plate molten orange st3 5 door, pretty much the rarest combo, can't be more than 100 cars. 5 doors being rarer than st200 and having same chassis upgrades.
I like 5 Dr in mk7 as it breaks up the big rear arch expanse.
Also like that faults known with...
Where are people on a mk7.5 vs mk8?
Top end prices on earlier car are 12.5k where earliest examples of later car are 14k, st200 into mk8 prices.
Guess maybe different answer std and tuned?
Oh I also test drove a 1995 Corrado VR6 Storm & a Red UK 1999 Integra Type R back in 2004 before buying a 306 GTI-6.
I still think the 306 was the better car but history not reflected in the values.
My Bro had a Mk 2 Astra GTE 16v. Superchiped with Scorpion Exhaust in say 1995. It was balistic. I still do not understand how 160 - 170 bhp felt so fast. But my 110 bhp Manta would eat it alive in the twisties. Steering had no feel either in the Astra.
Saw a Yellow Lambo Gallardo today. Cracking job of reverse parking it. Looked & Sounded Amazing.
Sorry no picks was Q'ing up for 50p Costa.
Always great when you hear a car from inside a shop.
What about Bridgestone re070, had a look the other night for subaru as were Oem.
Could not find any, have theg been discontinued or does no one stock in winter as a summer tyre.
Pics do look good on that site with the snow reflecting. I love the earlier STI chairs with the extra diagonal stitching,
Keep thinking about selling our Blob STI. Had for 6 years. What do you replace it with? Noise amazing. Reliable, Depreciation free.
Loving that Corrado 20VT on that...
Someone in my mates street deals in them.
I remember going round his house and there were 4 sitting parked in the street.
He just thought they were beatup old estates.
I said the same to the wife. These journalists are legends. But shocking presenters.
What you need it a cricket player, comedian and a small monkey. Combined with a big budget production team.
Interesting I have a 2005 Widetrack on 60k. Completely std.
But I thought it may be time for a suspension refresh at 15 years old. But not interested in lower it just want some fresh std stuff. Any thoughts? Is it just OEM?
I moved from am E30 M3 back in early noughties to a P1. Those cars...
You just think of the typical door one. Bot gets more complicated when its double skinned and can't get behind. Or softens the paint with a he a gun so it dont crack.
A real skill and I guess there are good ones and not so good ones.
When i had one dent on an otherwise unmarked car i felt unwell until it was sorted.
Even when charging me what he was he said he would go to bmw dealers once a week and do everything on there forecourt for 100 quid.
I have used a guy in the south coast a few times at £80 a panel.
When first got a car there were loads including a fist sized one. Great job and worth the money but pricey when have done single dent.
I guess it depends on how busy he is, has to drive to you . Drive back. May not work every hr...
The other thing I am conscious at this time of year & with COVID.
Don't use all week.
Drive to supermarket with lights, heater, rear heater, stereo. 2 miles
Drive to petrol station 0.5 mile.
Drive Home 2 miles.
3 Starts .... 4.5 miles.
So the times I am driving are not enough to put...
Got a ctek.
God send especially with covid.
Cycle to work in the week. Cars used to have a good run at weekend. Now that's not happening just pop on charger once a fortnight.
The one outside garage i just check there is no rain forecast.
Looking good. You are not wasting time with the mods.
You are right I have never seen those seats before?
I have full leather on Cup-S which has been offered for years. And the Trophy's have the Half Leather with the alcantara centres.
Amazing cars. Best place for a Meg engine..... leave it...
