They are the prettiest Aston's going in my view. Makes the new one look a right dog's dinner.

It wouldn't surprise me if it comes eventually. Motorsport UK seem to have started to adopt more FIA stuff. Regardless, I'll go FIA spec in my next car just to be safe!

They are a bit of a pain to weld all the way round. I have never known anyone to be pulled up for them though. It wasn't mentioned when I did an event earlier this year, but they usually only check the seat/harness/extinguisher dates and the pull cables. A lot of cars would need new seat mounts...

Pretty worrying that subframe, even in a road car to be honest, let alone a rally car. As @Pauleds suggests, I'd put in a weld-in kit after this weekend. I put one in in the Escort. So much better than anything bolt in, if a bit of a pain to get lined up. Someone on here welded some mounts in...

No don't think I am this weekend. My mate isn't doing the prom this year (for the first time in years). There seems to be quite a few on this weekend, but I am just going to play with the 197 and plot my return lmao

Nice looking thing, but turbocharged MK2 Escorts don't do much for me. Wants a screaming Duratec or Millington under the bonnet.

Glad you got it sorted. Good luck for the weekend, should be a good one.

I am, just bought a 197 :ROFLMAO:

Welcome back Ollie. Everyone comes back eventually 😂

It is a really odd place. I have never really bothered with it, but recently started to use the marketplace a bit, and joined a couple of Fiesta/ST groups, as I have been looking at buying one. The grief people get for posting the most nondescript things is simply staggering. Like you say, it's...

What is it with you and wooden interiors? :ROFLMAO:

Why did people get upset? Facebook groups really are very weird.

Is J45 the only version of RB on the 197? Do Halfords still do paint mixing? I had a feeling that they had stopped, but I might be wrong.

To cut a long story short, the keyless buttons on my door handles aren't working properly, so I'm going to replace them. I've bought some spare handles and new buttons but, before I fit them, I have been wondering about painting the door handles in blue to match the car, rather than the standard...

Your attitude is impressive in a way to be honest. If I went from walking out of the house in the morning and getting into a relatively modern, V8 super saloon, to getting into a 30 year old diesel brick, I would be suicidal. Your love for these cars must be strong.

A press car I think. It does look so purposeful.

That's not bad. I really want to give it a go, but not really sure what platform to go for. I was going to go Xbox, as a few of my friends have them, but PC is tempting, as you can add VR then.

I didn't even notice the big give away on this car - the sticker on the air intake saying it's one of the stunt cars!

A lot of mine have been with Javelin, so maybe it's a theme with them then. They didn't seem to give a s**t. My friend was driving my Clio on his first ever track day. Got hung out to try by a prick in an MX-5 race car that wouldn't back off on a straight to let us past, We ended up off-line...

If I was in the Porsche, I think I would have just backed off and let him go, or just done a drive through of the pit lane. Sod following someone like that. I don't think I've ever really seen anyone get pulled up for driving standards at a track day sadly. I've known people to get a black...

Depends which car it was. There was one that had a turbo engine in it - it belonged to Craig Lieberman, who was a technical consultant on at least the first film. I think it was one of his own cars, so had most of the bits done, but was repainted and modified further to suit the needs of the...

Proper.

Yeah my Pixel 3 is the same, shows the details on the lock screen. The Huawei is probably sending the data to the Chinese secret service instead.

Oh right. Pretty unusual for a modern car!

Does the Trophy not come with an engine cover as standard? They look nice in white.

Looks well. Like you say, nothing outrageous but they look so good, so why wouldn't you?!

Glad you had a relatively clean weekend and the car performed well. A shame about the penalty but a good weekend all the same, so well done!

I'm sure, but they don't do a lot for me for some reason. Much prefer the later stuff. Phase 1 106 Rallye would be much higher up my list than a 205.

What on earth are they? Never seen them before!

I would have a Nova SR over a 205 I think. The 205 is better, but the Nova just has something about it.
