Have you considered doing a rally type one? Maybe try giving some of the rally schools a call and explaining what car you have and what you're after? Some of these guys will have done a lot of competitive mileage in 4WD cars with fancy diffs so should know how to get the best out of them...

Was 33 degrees in my car when I left work this afternoon. Climate soon saw to that. Just a shame I don't have it in the house!

This fella hasn't been on here in nine years, so you might struggle a bit lol.

I can understand that. The Hurricane was always a bit of an ugly duckling next to the Spit but it was definitely the workhorse, you're right there. That's a lot of money, but I think it would be worth every penny. They have flown over my house on the odd occasion (a Lancaster did too actually...

Seeing as I went to Ford Fair a couple of weeks ago, it would be rude not to post some of the highlights: WP_20160807_10_22_30_Pro__highres by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr WP_20160807_11_27_17_Pro__highres by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr WP_20160807_11_30_17_Pro__highres by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr...

Interesting, why the Hurricane over the Spitfire? I'd be happy with any of them to be honest! Have you looked much into prices for doing it? I know what you mean. It's a shame that cars of this nature usually end up being broken, but it's the only way to get anything like a sensible return...

I would absolutely love to go up in a Spit. Real dream of mine. Big shame that this is going to be no more though. My favourite car on the forum by a long way. Would really love to buy it off you.

Love this, looks spot on.

Double post.

No bandwagons here. I drove it and just wasn't impressed by it. It's lost the rawness of the older Renault Sport cars and that was what made them so special. I'd never go as far as to say that it's a "bad" car, just there are better options out there in my view. I don't think it has anything...

Well, I admire your dedication. I'll leave mine to the Eastern Europeans lol.

Men should only be seen in actual Rangers Rovers in my view. All the others are for women lol.

That does look lovely, but isn't it a daily driver? Not sure I could be bothered with all that on a daily lol.

I think the problem for many people is how the car feels, not how fast it is. All modern hot hatches are quick. Arguing about which accelerates the fastest or which can do the best lap time is almost pointless. As someone said above, no mere mortal can get the best from it, so debating tenths of...

Looks bob on that. Would you like to give me the spoiler yet?

Looked ace when you had it - nice wheels with sensible tyres. Looks blinkin' awful now, typical VW idiocy with the wheels and ride height. Shame, looks a lovely car otherwise.

Yes they're really good fun. Mine seems to terrorise much more expensive machinery and it hasn't had an awful lot done to it. In fact, you should buy it, it's a waste that it's just sitting there gathering dust lol.

Hello! I bought a 172 Cup for the exact same purpose, just for some cheap thrills and it's amazing fun. You won't get anything more capable for the money. Mine is currently just sat in the garage now though. Can't really justify using it, but not sure I want to sell it either!

I read a quite interesting article in Practical Performance Car magazine the other day, written by Dave Walker of Emerald fame. He basically said they're not really suited to car engines so are best avoided if possible. A lot of people in other tuning circles seem to use them and rate them, but...

The 6 definitely has a nicer interior and is a nicer car to live with, but the looks of the MK5 steal it for me. Bit more aggressive.

Yeah I know what you mean. I remember going to shows in around 2003-2007 and there were simply hundreds of Zetec-S Fiestas around. The ZSOC was nearly always the biggest stand at any Ford show. Seem to be hardly any left now though, the rot has got to them. Fun little cars though. I am a total...

Oops! Shame, looks a really nice car. Easy to make a mistake there though. I spun on my first ever lap and I thought I was going really slowly. Luckily didn't hit anything though.

Nothing too glamorous, just some phone snaps I took while wandering around. For those not in the know (it is a Renault forum after all), Ford Fair is the biggest Ford show in Europe and is held at Silverstone. It's been a few years since I last visited and it's certainly changed a lot. There...

Hello!

Mine has done 135k now and still seems ok. Uses a bit of oil on track but I do kick the crap out of it. Would like to get it on the rollers actually, see what it has left.

If it's only got an air filter and exhaust, I'd save your money, it will be fine.

I drove a 200T at the 'ring and wasn't really very impressed by it. It went ok and handled ok, but it just didn't feel raw and exciting like an older RS Clio. It lacked the "special" feeling. The gearbox wasn't terrible but it wasn't nearly as good as the DSG in my Golf, or even the one in my...

Totally understandable mate. Priorities change for us all in time. Be nice if you could get some pleasure out of it before it goes though. Interested in what you think it is worth though, if you'd like to PM me?

Really hope you fix it and keep it Mark. My favourite car on CS by a stretch and after all your efforts, it would be good if you could enjoy it for a while. Saying that, it would make a nice addition to my collection lol.
