Spotted in a driveway near home today:

I can't believe you're selling this and keeping the Chelsea tractor 🤣

Look at this - a MK1 Laguna, complete WITH it's splitter 😂

I keep trying to resist, but I keep failing lol

It looked good I thought, though I think the R does look better as a five-door really.

Couple of recent spots... Old skool Unimog: And a modified Golf R. They do look decent with aftermarket wheels:

Had the rear wheels balanced today: Had the fronts done a couple of weeks ago as, ever since I fitted the Speedlines, there was a bad vibration through the steering. The fronts were 50g and 20g out and, while having them balanced improved it a lot, I could still feel some vibration through...

What is it?

Spotted this today - anyone on here?

Welcome aboard! I wouldn't go too mad as it's your first car, but a set of wheels and a subtle suspension drop would do wonders for it. You could always fit the seats and door trims from a 172/182 as well, just to make the interior a bit sportier.

I wouldn't worry about miles anymore, unless you want a real collector's item. They're all 15-20 years old now, so low mileage cars aren't going to common now. It's all about condition.

Maybe. But not yet.

Oh god, now I feel like I should do mine.

Nice, like a MK3 Cavalier

I think there are probably too many unknowns there to definitively blame the venue. I would put that down to coincidence. With the used pumps, you simply don't know their history in terms of fluid changes, whether they've been run low on fluid, or whether they have been used on track. I would...

What I'm trying to get at is that, by knowing the cause, it's easier to identify the workaround. Fitting a different pump may not be the solution. Do they have cooling as standard? I would assume it's the fluid overheating and causing wear to the pump, so it may be enough to fit a new OEM pump...

What's the actual problem that causes the pump to fail?

I know this is probably sacrilege, but I'm not really a fan of Monaco for some reason, even though I usually like dark blues. Really like this though, all works together really nicely.

There are faster and more extreme examples once you get into the track/race/rally cars for sure but, in road car terms, this is the one for me. Wheels, colour, ride height, spoiler, it's all spot on.

He'd be right too 😂

Best looking 182 on the forum, just love it.

You did?! I must have got distracted by all the drivel about YouTube 😂

You could if you could find some wheels lol

Nice that. The MK7 Golf is such a great all-rounder. A real high point. The MK8 looks awful by comparison. I think I would have a GTI over an R if I went back. Weirdly, I think the GTI looks better as a 3dr, but the R has to be a 5dr. It's obviously something in the side skirts or something, but...

Love it. Best factory colour for a Ph.1 by miles.

On the subject of Mondeo's, an ST24 near my house earlier. Can't be many of these left now thanks to rust and head gasket troubles.

Ah, so sticking with the previous engine for now?

Looking good. What's the engine spec? Did Mark build it, or did you go a different route?

A few today... I can't remember the last time I saw a MK1 Punto! This was lovely. Would have this over an M4 for sure. f**k knows what this is all about...

A full face helmet is pretty unnecessary in this sort of situation though, surely? I hate wearing a full face helmet. Nothing wrong with wearing comfortable shoes either? Gloves are maybe a bit unnecessary, but do help a bit in my experience.
