    GT3 RS 4.0 + angle

    I've always wondered what expenses they can claim back, for example tyre's after your cars been used on a feature track day or an article where you've drifted round the same corner 20 times for the photographer

    GT3 RS 4.0 + angle

    GT3 RS 4.0 + angle

    as said before, a couple of months ago there was a breakdown in Evo of what deposit he'd paid and what the monthly figures were (and the final ballooooon payment). That write up did lead you to believe it is his car, I don't know what he claims (or claimed) back off Evo.

    Being 30 and in a 182

    working for myself I use my car for going to meetings etc, one previous job was a large sports hall development at an expensive private school in Rutland.

    Being 30 and in a 182

    I got my first 205 gti at 32 and got a 172 at 36. Could have gone out a got a much newer and bigger car but didn't want one plus i hate losing money on cars. My cars prior to the 205 were family orientated while the kids grew up. The 172 only went because we bought a caravan (after 10 years of...

    Lane discipline, lack of...

    I take this approach, I'm always surprise how many times I can predict what someone's going to do before they do it. Then if they nearly crash into me and I press the horn the clueless look they give does wind me up. Too many people don't take any pride in how they drive. I agree bad driving...

    Worst car trends/mods of recent times..

    How not to drive a Gallardo...

    should have taken one of his mate's out as well.......driving like that on a public road - wnaker

    What's your idea of a good mod/theme.

    for a daily driver mine would be standard bodywork decent size wheels - prefer OEM looking wheels. good stance - not too low though. OEM looking replacement front seats rest of mods being mechanical... for a sunday best car (showing off car) or track car it would be different.

    just e-mailed the clio owner and asked if he put the standard lights, wheels and front bumper on and came down in price I might be interested.

    Service History and the trade

    Funny but true, worst are the car supermarket sales guys. Although you do occasionally come cross an independent that has some interest in cars and knows what they are talking about.

    Worst car trends/mods of recent times..

    Not a modifying trend but something fitted to new cars that annoys me is when one fog light comes on when they turn a corner. Why do they need to do that are the headlamp so bad that they need to do it..:dead:

    Monster stickers on Clios - Why?

    it was crap like Fido Dido from the 7up ad when I was younger.... My son will be learning to drive in the next few years so I've already started to try and point him away from shite like that. Only time will tell what happens. Put it this way if his car is fit for the barry boys web site it...

    Punto problems again!! Anyone help??

    Our 1995 punto did something similar, it was head gasket. £18 for head gasket kit and a Sunday to fit and it ran spot on after (I'd never done anything like that before but found it quite simple). Punto's of that age are prone to HG failure. What year is yours.

    Just had a bump... Let's now play a game

    That corner has just killed your car. It'll never be 100% without spending a fortune, happy Christmas. Just be happy you didn't hit anyone else....

    My new 535d M Sport

    If you de-badge it, is there anyway of the thieving scum knowing it's a 535 and not a lesser model. I'd love one but it'd have to be a touring (in black) to bring the dog along for the ride.

    BMW 1M Coupe

    what a load of CGI crap....someone prove me wrong please. Horrid looking car, but fantastic concept - small, RWD, great chassis, loads of power......why can't more (better looking) car's be like this.

    My brother lost £13k in 3 years on a BMW X3.... 4x4's for the win when it comes to depreciation.

    Whats the most amount of money you've lost on a car...

    Bought a very clean 205 gti for £1200, did a trackday in it and big end bearings went. Cost about £800 to rebuilt engine plus some other bits sold it two years later for £1150. Most I've lost is probably £2k in six months on a brand new punto that we got at a heavily discounted price. If we...
