So much want for a MK1

He should have put it in New Zealand livery. Think Tommi won NZ in '99 and would have worked better with the gravel spec.

I would have thought Ktec are the simplest solution aren't they? Doesn't their ECU plug in to the car pretty much? Ultimately, it's probably not the best value mod but, if you get some fun out of it, that's all that matters really.

Weird livery to choose for a gravel car that's for sure. Nice car though. Just needs for cards lol

Glad you're finally through the wiring issues. Car looks mega!

A Fiesta ST. On my driveway :LOL: Borrowed it off a mate for a week or two as I'm currently without car. Looking forward to seeing what it's like. Initial impressions are that the seating position isn't as good as my 197, but the ride is better. Oh, and it has torque lol.

Thanks bud. You just using the 200 as a road car? The R3 wheels do really suit them, best thing I did to it!

And it's gone. Sold to the first viewer.

I remember when I ordered my last one, they asked if it was going on a Clio. They must sell 99% of them to Clio owners I would have thought?!

Well no, but we talking about average cars that average folk drive.

But is it? In the past, that Superb would probably have had a normally aspirated 2.0-litre with about 130-140bhp. With TDI torque, the diesel will probably feel quicker to most people. Not to mention that most people don't give a monkey's uncle anyway.

I did read somewhere that it was sub-5000 cars globally in 2019. Not big numbers given the development costs. A friend of mine has one. I think they look lovely personally. Simple, and a nice blend of retro and modern. Sadly, he has also had paint and corrosion issues already, so that would put...

Has the A110 been very successful? I got the impression that it hadn't sold that well. Is that the case though? Cars are faster than they've ever been. VW shipped thousands of Golf Rs, Ford did the same with the Fiesta ST. Access to high performance has never been greater. You can see why the...

I can't say I understand this sporting sub-brand thing to be honest. Seat did it a while ago with Cupra, but does anyone actually care? Do buyers even really notice when they're buying it from the same dealership? Do folk that buy a Cupra Ateca tell people they have a Cupra, or do they just have...

Been a while since I updated this. Gave it a clean today and my friend took some snaps: Probably be the last pictures of it sadly. A job overseas means I don't really need a car here anymore, so it will be sold soon.

Dear me. I love how they couldn't even get the last one right.

Are you going to facelift it? Strictly speaking, as it's green, it should be a facelift...

God that really isn't a good looking car. What a total mess of a design.

Because modifying cars is fun, and because some of the standard parts are pap.

Hyundai have probably had a big hand in reviving the WRC over the last year. They've put a lot of energy into it. Toyota coming back was a big boost too. Akio Toyoda is a big rally man though. The last few seasons have actually been the best, probably since the McRae/Burns era. Just a shame...

Not yet. Going to advertise it in the coming days actually.

I think both Toyota and Hyundai are making a lot of the more traditional brands look a bit silly. Hyundai have really injected some much-needed fun back into a hot hatch sector that's become dominated by number-obsessed, grey boxes, while Toyota really seem to be rediscovering their mojo.

Can't remember the last time I saw one of those!

More epic! Can't wait to see this come together.

Well there's your problem. Carwow is just as shite as shmee.

Definitely. I've all but given up with my local one. Far too many old farts who can't see that the world has moved on. The club system should be totally overhauled. I'd just have regional clubs instead of having multiple clubs in every county.

I reckon we'll be back up and running later this year. The worry for me is how long they last before the environmentalists kill them off. The lack of interest in trying to at least look like we care about sustainability is frightening. Forestry England have already said we need to clean up our...

Yeah pretty shonky. Motorsport UK really do need to get a grip on rallying in the UK, it's a mess.

Or I'm not a glutton for punishment like you are.

I suspect so. Having driven a 740 through the Alps to Italy, and a 940 turbo around much of the UK's exciting roads, I can't say I'm in a hurry to drive another 😂 Adored the 850 T-5 I had though, and my V70 D5 was a decent barge too, if a bit expensive for parts.
