Did you get one in the end?

Perhaps that's a clause that a few insurance companies hold with Copart? Just thinking out loud, but I'm sure I heard somewhere that if they pay out for the car, it's no longer your property to demand to purchase so they can sell it to copart/do as they see fit. Usually when you can buy them...

What were you insuring at 15? Tried Greenlight?

99% of people on here don't put their location which is frustrating.* *If it's stated in their profile then fair enough.

When you need 306 parts - PM me ;) It's a Scorpion backbox and a standard mid section. It's coming off because it blows slightly. I bought another car with a Magnex, but that's a 4" tailpipe which I don't want. Typically a week before it came up for sale I moved on a custom made stainless...

I agree it's a tad too low but I shall leave it for now. If it was a quick job like a 1*2 I'd have sorted it by now, but I'd want to strip it all down and refresh the lot with new bearings whilst I was there. At the moment with everything else I've got going on (bought another 2 to break, have...

The pic of the 205 and XR3 in the grass look like they've only been there a couple of months. Not even a few rotten leaves shelved on the wipers. Grass grows quick.

I had my first 306 GTi6 as a teenager nearly 10 years ago. In 2009 I got rid in favour of a 172 Cup which I continuously rated as a better buy. Not necessarily a better car, but a better buy due to age, general condition etc. I've always felt the Clios are slightly quicker but prefer the way the...

I bought a car last week without a key. The steering lock was solid so I just smashed the retaining pins off with a chisel.

Dust your car in pepper.

Not much beats a jaunt over Exmoor early in the evening with the sun coming down. Welcome to the club!

I wish the Halfords 150 piece had come with a deep 16mm or room to clip extras in. It's something I find myself needing most out of items not included.

Welcome to the club, Zarko_b!

Funilly enough Chi I spotted that in my stack the other evening. Drop me a PM when you get a minute :)

They are something like £16/£17 a plate IIRC which is an outrage :D :) Since noticed his thread and he's sorted me out a set

Where are people buying number plates from these days? I want a new standard pair - happy to have the BS marking etc, but would rather not have a company name to the centre as a slogan. Many years ago I used these guys: http://www.myshowplates.com/index.asp They are cheap enough at a shade...

@bristolnate Noticed a LY 182 yesterday in Bristol at around 7.30? ish give or take an hour. Would it have possibly been you? I forget where exactly it was to be honest - somewhere past Filton IIRC. I noticed it but didn't pay any attention until I just noticed a post by you which triggered...

I went into a bakery the other day as I fancied something sweet. I noticed a nice looking cream cake so I asked the price. "A pound." How about this large cinnamon whirl? "A pound. Everything you see here is a pound" Superb. I'll go for this one in the corner. "£2.50 please." You said...

What did you pay in the end?
