I'm just about to start an afternoon shift so probably won't have time, sounds like a good precaution though!

How do I do that, Dave?

I've done a text check and it comes back fine.

I've tried £1500, but £1700 is his lowest. That's good of you Martin but I don't finish work until 10pm, so I'm going to be buying it late tonight. I've already seen it and been a ride in it so I'm happy with the car, just slightly suspicious due to the price.

I'm going to fetch it tonight providing I'm happy with the paperwork.

Can't remember how long he's had it, it's not far away Martin.

Needs a new steering wheel, what's that going to cost? It's melted as many of them do.

I looked at one for £3000 that wasn't as clean.

The guy seems okay too, not a chav or shady looking or anything. He just said he's found 6 months work down south that he can't turn down so he needs it gone ASAP.

Trouble is, he needs it gone before he goes away for 6 months tomorrow night.

I have done, it drove fine. Looked good too.

As some of you know I'm car shopping again, and I've been looking at Civics and 182's (again!) I saw a 2004 182 on 73k miles but after going to see it I noticed the engine warning light on and the steering wheel was melted badly. To its credit the bodywork was good and it did have cup...

Shame the video lacked racing footage, otherwise a great watch.

Awesome.

He was stuck too I'm afraid.

Strange... A lad at work complained about the exact same thing.

Didn't even realise it was him lol. As you say... How dare they!

Scores highly on the cheese-o-meter...

Just out of interest, how much do plugs, leads and coilpack cost?

Don't get me wrong, I'm no idiot... I do loads of trackdays so I'm constantly maintaining my car, and I've been to the 'Ring twice before too but only as a passenger. I feel that this time I need to drive over myself, but the Mazda isn't practical enough so I need a daily driver that will be...

Well I'm not mechanically minded, so like many people I worry about the 'what-ifs'. This is why until now my cars have all been nearly new. I've been looking at 182's, Type-R's and Fiesta ST's and the Clios definitely seem better value.

Agreed. If you look around there are sh1tloads of new shape Meganes about. I think it's just the Sport division that's going to suffer.

Awful review, they're trying to copy Topgear and failing! Not that I like Topgear either! They make Chris Harris look like Patrick Moore! The 200T looks good IMO, but I agree that I wouldn't want a flappy paddle gearbox. I wouldn't buy one, especially when I could have the ST for less.

Serious question... I'm selling my 1.25 Fiesta for a cheap(ish) daily that will be fine for a trip to the 'Ring in May. Some people think I'm bonkers looking at 182's saying they'll break/won't make it/too old/French tat blah blah blah... To those of you who've done road trips to Germany in...

Yes mate, fair play. Hope you have more luck than me lol.

Ah, that would explain it. 5mins from me lol.

Where in Staffordshire are you from? Some of those locations look familiar.

You bought the Ignis dude?

If the Nurburgring folk rent them out in their dozens they can't be a bad car.

Ideal!
