Definitely got your money's worth out of that.

I shall try and be there, but might not be in a French car lol

I will try my best. Just got a few bits to finish off and would need to find a way to get the car there. Seats etc are all ordered, just need to make some cage tweaks and find an exhaust that isn't 118dB ?

Great idea this! I'd be happy to do it, but still can't be sure if I'm coming or not lol.

That's not unusual though. Most OEMs will use aftermarket suppliers for that sort of thing. However, it's all done to a cost. Having worked in the business, and knowing others who do, even some of the most premium car makers don't have the greatest understanding of choosing the best...

I was amazed at how agile my old ST220 felt. Once you were making progress, even down tiny little lanes, it never felt like the big car it was. It was a really confidence inspiring car. There are roads that I would drive that down way faster than I would have the balls to drive my Clio...

I spent a few months driving a cooking model FN Civic and the ride was shockingly bad. Can't imagine what the Type-R is like. It's a shame. Part of me quite likes them, but I don't think I could buy one over some of its rivals. I know people love NA, but it would just do my head in for a daily...

I went about ten years ago. Have wondered about going again, but it seems to be turning into more of a motor show for OEMs, rather than a haven for old race cars, so not so sure. All I remember from last time I went is that it was a bloody long walk to the top of the hill...

Looking good. Side repeater wiring in the mud guards is shocking though lol

Good news boyo!

Doesn't surprise me. A friend sold a broken Daihatsu Sportrak to a guy from Eastern Europe who paid a company to collect it. About ten years ago, I bought a Sierra for £500, hated it, put it up for sale and a guy from Ireland paid £850 for it within a couple of weeks, having never set eyes on...

Looks great now. A change of wheels and new steering wheel will finish it off perfectly. I really would like something like this at some point. It's an itch I need to scratch.

You have to dress like a tool on a bike as well. And I like listening to the radio. And shouting at people on bikes. Can't shout at them so much if you're one of them.

Not before me lol. For me, part of the RS mystique is the screaming normally aspirated engine. I think the rear bumper/diffuser on the GT2 is a little awkward compared to the GT3 too. Both stunning cars though and the stuff of dreams really.

If I can drive my Escort on the road, you can drive your Clio ?

Be good to see some more pictures!

Looking good boys. Might bring the Escort to the next one, if it's not in bits lol

Really do love this. Looks spot on now.

What's the spec of the Hyundai?

@NorthloopCup is bang on. Not using a car is a great way to hurt your enthusiasm for it. I went through a phase of changing cars all the time but don't so much now. Buying and selling cars annoys me now, as it can be a lot of hassle. The Clio was a big change for me. Would keep that forever...

Nothing wrong with stickers: Think they do need to be planned though. I ended up having most of mine custom made as a lot of the stuff you can buy online is quite small so doesn't work too well. Saying that, eBay seems to have a decent amount of stripe kits etc, so I think you could...

How much life is left in the 888s Neil? Sorry, I know I have asked you about the wheels before, totally forgot about it!

Can you just drop it off at my house when you've got a minute? Love it.

Looks great Steve. Really subtle change but lifts the whole look of the car.

Yeah 850R manual is the one I would go for. Bigger turbo and diff make it the winner for me. The interior is nicer too I think. The leather/suede combo is the wrong way round in a T-5R.

@Daniel if you ever want to sell the 850R, do let me know. I had a black T-5 CD that had all the R bits on it. One of my favourites, always regret selling it.

Looks lovely that. My favourite Ph.1 colour by far.

That stuff may be good, but it's over £30 a litre. Petrol does the job just fine in my experience and is much cheaper lol

Even at WRC level, most drivers wear open face helmets. They have some pretty f**king monstrous accidents and their faces don't get cut or bruised to s**t. Yes the rest of the car has been designed to withstand the impact, but the chances of a facial injury are very low. I would say the same is...

Yeah I know a couple of people that use them for track days and another who uses one for stage rallies, so should be more than up to it.
