Occasionally my job has its perks, like getting paid to look at this lot. It's going to take me all day to photograph everything, so I'll do it in batches. This is just the paddock.

Tbf you have to go to bed mega early both nights to set up and break down early each morning, must be impossible to get any sleep with us partying all night.

Tony Hunter's old as dirt, he might be a contender.

43, but I know there's a couple of blokes in their 60's on here.

This place is begging for a visit. http://caffeineandmachine.com/ I won't know if I can make a weekend until it's upon us, I can be working on site over a weekend or be asked to work Sat/Sun at the drop of a hat.

That was years ago.

Get f*cked I never threw up once!

I'm good mate, new job, new start, all is well. Your Whatsapp group f*cked my phone storage up with for sale pics of cars and car parts, you 3 are worse than a bunch of women discussing shoes and handbags!

Sounds good, almost as good as The Dog Kennel....almost.

I voted for Calm, a mate I worked with every day hung himself 2 years ago just before Xmas, he hid his depression so well no one had a clue until it was too late, when he hadn't heard from him for a while his Dad went round his flat on Xmas week to see if he was alright, he let himself in and...

The girlfriend thread would be a safe bet, shame it got deleted.

You could be right there, door wedge and long pointy thing it is then.

I've opened many cars by wedging the door open and using a wire coat hanger or similar to press the interior unlock button. Yes the Clio's doors have a steel wire going from the interior handle to the door latch. But honestly by far the easiest way is using something to press the unlock button...

The advantage you've got is the battery is connected, in your situation i'd be aiming to press the central locking button on the dash using the wire coat hanger trick, much easier than hooking the interior door handle.

No, the 130 is non speedo drive.

Go and look at the prices VTR's are going for, you'll more than double your money if you decide to punt it on, for £300 i'd strip it out and thrash the crap out of it, when you're bored refit the interior and sell it for £600.

That's piss cheap, even a f*cked VTR goes for more than that.

It's a claim, they'll put it up on general principal.

Yeah I wouldn't have told the insurance about that, it's a few scrapes and a cracked light, the increased cost to your renewals will far outweigh the cost of the parts.

New bumper and light out of the for sale section and it'll be good as new, they may still write if off though even though less than £100 could probably fix it.

Yep, love that, buy car, bolt turbo on it, done!

I don't know any priests.

They CNC it from scratch? I bet costs a few quid, 10,000rpm though...mental! I've never been that bothered about Honda's, I think the various Type R's are cool but not enough to seriously want one, then the other week I had a play with a modified DC5, I kept with him for about 3 seconds then...

Breaking into a locked car isn't exactly a secret, there are countless YouTube vids on it, i've seen the AA and RAC do it in front of me and i've done the coathanger trick for a few people that have locked their keys in the car, most people that break into cars don't go to the trouble of f*cking...

The way the AA or RAC would do it is to push a wedge into the top corner of the door, so you get a little gap of a few cm, then use something to hook around the door handle, an unwound wire coat hanger would do the trick. This doesn't damage the door as they can give a little without damaging...

What model 16V, Mk1 Mk2?

Just have to make sure you crash your classic Volvo into a new car then, problem solved.

Weren't Volvo famous for their safety innovations? They were crash testing cars to a much higher standard than anyone else way before ENCAP came along, I bet that thing holds up way better in an accident than the contemporaries of it's day, tbh it probably holds up better than a Saxo or a mk1...

You're not right in the head. I must admit I like seeing your Volvo threads, it seems like every month you're buying another shitheap 'classic', that is proper Terry & June spec. lol
