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.

A thread designed for me. Worth a lot More: 1990 E30 M3 ( Maybe 6 times) 2000 P1 with all Prodrive options ( Maybe 2 times) Z3M Coupe. (Maybe 3 times) 309 GTI Goodwood (Maybe 5 times) Opel Manta GTE Exclusive ( Maybe 4 times) Worth a little more: 130i V8 M3 Clio Trophy R26 Meg

Can you imagine rolling this out of the garage in 10 years time and firing it up. Dinosaur, love it.

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.

I see that now.

You got to be grounding that all the time. Even if an ant sticks its arse in the air you will catch it.

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.

First picture the brake discs look as big as the wheels. Nice.

Meg is a good step up in space from 182. But I don't find it that much bigger than 197 or 200. Good job on the 182. Never did fit those stripes !

Thanks for that, I had done a search before, I had seen peddlers mentioned but I had not heard of them before.

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...

That's the shocking thing when you see or hear an old impreza. You have no idea is its some +300bhp/tonne weapon or not.

Welcome. Down in west sussex. In the megane camp these days. Enjoy.

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...

It's too late once you start having problems. May have knackered the battery.

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...

I looked at a cosworth and an rb320 before buying the blob. But 2.5 engine fear made me settle on the blob. Don't regret. But hatch with the right wheels looks so muscular. But my fear is hawk spec c and s204 prices have taken off over last couple of years by the time the hatches get a steady...

My wife has had her unmodified sti widetrack for 6 years now. Keep thinking about selling it and getting back into a nice yellow 200. But given subaru recent efforts. Probably never go back.although i do like the look of the jdm hatches coming to market

I saw a clio 200 for sale on autotrader claiming 240 bhp. Said it had ktec cam, porting exhaust , filter and remap. Don't see many n.a. conversions, mostly meg engines. Anyond had this done?is that power possible?

I constantly try to explain the principle to people that is you by a nice older car with a good reliability record at the bottom of its depreciation curve you can drive a nice car for little cost. There are loads of cars i would like to own but its just picking the right time in there...

Ironically trophys are quite common with 500 made. The rarer colours are a 10th of that or less. That's why nice colour ones been fetching good money last year or so. Std cup pack car slightly easier ownership prospect without having to worry about Sachs. Cars like r26r and trophy get all the...

What's even better is you may be able to pick it up. Use it look after it & sell it for more than you got it for. Now that's cheap motoring. The gain in value will offset the cost of maintence...... meaning people look after them and more nice ones stay on the road. Obviously if you were...
