It was Stafford. Jewel of the Midlands.

When I was at uni, one of the kebab places in town was run by a guy with a modified Evo 8. He used it for deliveries sometimes!

Well that seems a bit weird. So he posted pictures of his car and then left? Weird mic drop.

Did he have a tantrum or something? I didn't actually see many negative comments about the car, or was some s**t deleted? That being said, while I know some people like a bit of banter, I'm not sure it's great when people are leaving within a handful of posts. Hardly good for the long term...

Looks alright. Don't mind the wheels to be honest. Don't think I could have a Transporter either to be honest. They're nice enough, but the whole scene is pretty tragic.

They do seem to divide opinion, that's for sure. I think you either get them or you don't. That being said, I love both the 1*2 and the 197/200, albeit for slightly different reasons. I did find that, when I initially drove a 197 (I had a quick go when my mate bought his), it did feel a less raw...

What happened here then?

Never heard of one before?! Presumably something to do with this? https://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/news/17701612.coates-gearing-race-croft/

Saw this today and thought of you:

I have a bit of a thing for them lol

Saw this the other day. About 500bhp apparently.

Like that! What sort of money was it, if you don't mind me asking? Would like a Saxo/106.

What a pair of f**king mongs. Incredible that so many people watch them.

What kind of money is required for the engine work? I thought it would be monumentally expensive.

You also sell cars within days of buying them and collect old Volvos and Volkswagen vans, so I don't know how much stock we can put in your experience 😉

Absolutely. I've owned both a 172 Cup and a 197, and also a Meg 265, so probably have reasonable experience. All have their good and bad points in reality.

They're not too bad now. Just try and buy one with them already done. Other than those, the suspension stuff isn't that different in price to a 1*2 in my experience. Don't tell @Sunglasses_Ron, as I gave him loads of stick about not having a spoiler on his, but I kinda like them without one...

Recaro seats too. Basically, other than using a bit more fuel and not feeling quite so urgent, they're better than a 1*2 in every way 🤣

I have a 197 and I love it, just to go against everyone saying they're not worth it. Yes not quite as willing in a straight line, but a nicer road car, more grip, more planted, and more performance ultimately. If you want fuel economy, buy a diesel. Oh, and on the gearbox thing, the 1*2 hardly...

Watched a bit of the rally stage this afternoon. Thought it was a bit of a shame the cars didn't run individually as it was so short, as you didn't get to see some of them. Commentator was shockingly bad too. Didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

The aero kit is lovely, but not a cheap thing to add I guess. A friend of mine has a 987 Boxster and he was looking at bits, but even replica stuff can be silly money unfortunately. It's a shame, as I really like it. It just adds some aggression that's missing from the standard car in my view...

That interior is proper lairy :ROFLMAO: I think I'd have to switch a few bits out for black personally, just to tone it down a bit.

You managed a whole month. Impressive.

Well that's awful. Not that the production car will look anything like that anyway.

Love it. I really want a Porsche and this is exactly the sort of thing I would go for. Yes a 997 GT3 RS would be lovely, but the simplicity and value of these makes them deeply appealing. I would be aiming for something similar to what Jethro Bovingdon has myself, with the aero kit and some...

The way that picture displays, with the line at the top of the dash makes it almost look like two separate pictures. I wondered why you had posted a picture of a hazard light switch :ROFLMAO: I saw one of those Clio saloons the other day. Weird looking thing.

Is it for sale yet?

Should be fine. My Escort was very similar and worked ok.

What model do you have?

I do love a Saxo. Would love one now, but I'd ruin it with roll cages and the like. Xsara VTS was cool too. Can't be many of those left.
