I'd drive it straight to the nearest 'fast fit' place to be fair. Slowly :) I'd like to say I'd put the spare on - but I feel even if I had one, I'd just try drive slowly instead heh. Dan

I wanted 11.5k and judging by the enquiries I got I'd have got it no fuss - suspect 12k wasn't out of the question, but I couldn't say no to a quick cash sale :) Also I needed to get into a new motor soonish. I think the thing that made people feel it was a good one was all the photos on the...

Remember he said our Vee's we worth £8k max? Cos no one wants a French Car that old with that many owners? I sold my 51 plate, 4 previous owners before me, Mk1 Vee for £11k. The buyer was very happy, and said it was the best one he'd seen - and all the cheaper ones were sheds. So I suspect...

Heh, I forgot my camera :( I'll get some tmrw. Cross your fingers for no rain in the night!

My R27 has a sticker on the window saying I have this - Google then showed me this - http://www.fortron.co.uk/Fortronweb_files/page0006.htm Which looks to be a similar logo. My car hadn't been washed by me till today (I know, I know, almost two weeks - but I haven't had a chance!). Anyway...

Nice pics there - I feel bad for wanting some of them hehe!

Re: Chatsworth - The Rally Show 2008 (loads of pics) Looks like it was a top day out!

Epic car :) Justin - buy yourself a G220 instead. Me and a friend bought one and just dived right in. It's orbital, and on speed 5 it seems impossible to do any harm. We had never ever seen a machine polisher before in real life - and we got amazing results first time with the G220. No...

Good news :) Unless he has the spare key and is planning to come an drive it away next week... I know that's a very neg thing to say, but these days...

Stunning shine! I'm with Ali on the new badge.

This thread still lives then ;) ? Dan

Now that's done 11k and had it's first service, I'm tempted to get it on the rollers - because I keep seeing other people making 200+bhp standard hehe! I'd be gutted if it made like 190 or something though. I reckon, buy an ITG panel from K-tec at FCS (hopefully) then take it to RSTuning just...

Yea but he's one of those indecisive c***s that never knows what he wants - and he's a bit useless as well so he'd probably f**k it up ordering online.

Wonder if K-tec will be selling ITG Panel filters for the 197 so I buy one there and avoid the £8 postage on their website :p Dan

I was wondering this - I booked a ticket for me, my mate and my car, and now another mate is considering coming along as well - do I just book him a normal ticket now and hope it arrives at time - or can he just pay at the gate? Or do I hide him in the boot :p ? Dan

Hehehe awesome! Shame there was no one there with a Vee really. 22mpg was just my normal average - I bet you'd have been looking at sub 15mpg easy. Dan

It's a sad day when oil prices have caused the threads after driving meets to become MPG comparisons heh!

Immense bargain. I'd relist them if I won them and just reap the £1k profit :D

Looked like a great day! Some brilliant pics too, R27 and new Type-R steal the show for me :) Although the Polo GTi is a nice rare addition - anymore pics of that? Love the tyre smoke in this pic ;)

For my impending trip abroad and to the ring, I think I need a spare set of bulbs in the car - is there anywhere I can get a 'bulb kit' that has a spare of each type of bulb in my car? I know halfords do them but they don't seem to do one for my car :( Can anyone help? Should I try the...

If anyone can provide a link to anyone having had ANY problem with the Sachs dampers on the Trophy - please do post it? You say 'they seem to go around then' (and refer to them as coilovers?) but I read this forum almost every day, there are a lot of Trophys on here, and a lot of people with a...

Yea I couldn't wait that long! Half of the reason why I got an R27 2nd hand hehe. I just drove home from my mates, empty back roads I know well. It's nice and warm and dry - and I was deliberatly been an arse in some of the tight open bends (so I could see if anyone was coming) trying to get...

Lookin good dude - I like the one in the Park n Ride :)

^^ Agreed. Chuck those old wheels on eBay though - you'll make a good few quid for them :) Dan

They're so much brighter in real life as well! Yea it does look to have been cared for :) I got mine (R27) from a Honda dealer - was only a year old but I was afraid it wouldn't have been cared for - but as soon as I saw the paintwork I knew it had, then when it rained there was some awesome...

Can anyone confirm the part number is 77 114 19487 ? Cheers :) Dan

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120268388509&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002 - would that work in the same way then...?

My 197 is on 17s - 215/45/17 - K-Tecs is on 18s and looks awesome IMHO - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2386&pic=3 - but they're a different offset and things I think so I dunno how you'd go for fitting, and they're 5 stud, I dunno if they fit yours either hehe :)

Turinis look good on K-Tecs 197 - maybe worth a look? Or Superleggeras - they're a nice wheel.

Could've created something wonderful with that Super1600 kit - instead - they didn't....
