The more I've got into Porsches the more I prefer the air cooled lightweight classics over the fire breathing modern stuff. Not often you see a 912, that would definitely be in my lottery garage.

Ask them if they've got any droids for sale.

Probably, there's no helping that lad when he gets obsessed with something, that's why he sells them when they're done, it's about the build for him.

Nat's misses let him out to play? That's a first, I thought he was a lost cause?

It's going to Ryan's garage I'm not touching the it without supervision and a garage full of tools and knowledge, f*cking thing will fall to bits out of spite because it's sat there for years, that car has moods and can fight you if it doesn't feel like being worked on. I can pikey the Golf...

Well thank for pissing on my chips and sewing doubt in my mind.

People selling dodgy engines don't do it from their home address.

Yep top bloke, I'll definitely be buying off him again.

I reconsidered... I look forward to terrorising you all on track next year Just got back from picking it up

I like genuine patina on classics and the olive drab NATO green military look, but I've never had the balls to do it because I don't actually like my cars standing out, not that I care what people think, I just like to be left alone.

It's a fine line between ratlook and shitheap.

I dismissed that because (200psi) typed on an ad isn't proof of a strong engine. But if you all know him I might reconsider.

Clio Billabong's used to everywhere, can't remember the last time I saw one.

Should make you a few quid, or save you a few if you run it as a daily.

Not bad, you brave enough to put it through an MOT?

It runs fine, it just has 130psi compression on three cylinders, 90psi on the other, it misfires and cuts out randomly, too many problems to bother fixing all at once, easier to just swap the engine & loom get it mot'd and see how it goes.

My plan was to get it back on track with an engine swap, then take mine apart and get it rebuilt over a year or two so I don't miss the money, then drop it back in new and improved.

That could be a Pandora's box of expensive problems, it could need everything, cheaper to wait for a good one and just swap it over a weekend with new belts and dephaser.

I doin't want to be a FB messer, or deal with people's attitudes when they get arsey about it, I'll just wait until the right one comes along.

Cheers for thinking of us mate. What I'm finding is there's loads for sale ranging from £250-£1000, they all say "good" or "strong" engine, "pulls well" "got vids of it running" I've got vids of mine running a pulling well but it's still f*cked, none of them come with a compression test or any...

This is a good watch, I love old boys like this with mad pre war contraptions, I saw on the main Goodwood show he drove The Beast of Turin from his house to Goodwood, hammered it round track, then drove it home, legend!

Yeah that Thomas Crompton has some cool sh*t

I think it's an antique shop next to a boarded up newsagents.

Easily 15 years ago, probably more.

Thank f*ck for that.

Definitely interested in both of if tests well. Where do you live? I bet it's the Highlands of Scotland knowing my luck.

Filters and me said the same thing, such a nice understated looking car.

Can you compression test them like that?

How can a brake pad not be road legal? Surely if it stops the car and passes the MOT then it's fine, I've got PBS track pads on the Clio and they're like hitting brick wall even when cold, best brakes I've ever had.
