Just got it out of storage. Full tank of V Power, a good wash and gel all the plastic trims, she’s good for another winter. 💪🏽

As long as it’s not rusty underneath, £3k-ish.

There’s a thread on it here. Had grand plans but life got in the way. Never got to drive it either!

A black 850R estate. Manual.

Cortina is cool AF. Sorry about the van. Volvo makes me cry. (Just sold mine, £1500!)

This is amazing. 😂 (hopefullly the link works or I’m a c**t) https://fb.watch/fEC8-E_LEs/

Treemendous.

“450 pounds to machine polish my van?? That’s way too much money. My friend said he can do it for £80 on his dinner break. He works in a Bodyshop so does it for a living which means he’s a lot faster than you, it’s probably why he’s so cheap…”

Pm me the name of the company and I’ll do some digging. I’ll pm you back with my number, give me a call tomorrow afternoon.

It’s not a shoddy motor, it’s just a car with a fault. It’s not the first and it certainly won’t be the last. Stop stressing. Yes you need to keep it all via email. If he doesn’t play ball and you end up in court, you need a paper trail. You are only entitled to a refund of the cars invoice...

Just email him explaining that you want to exercise your right to reject as he had an opportunity to fix it and failed. He can’t argue with you, he can’t charge you any fee’s, he has to refund you in full. It’s very easy to do.

I’d say the battery is fucked. Too many faults all at once to be much else given how reliable they are.

I have a £40 Halfords cover in size small on my track car and so far (got it in June) it’s been perfect. Really good product to be fair.

That crayon probably sounds better than that stereo. 😂

I just found some more pics of mine and Mr Bone’s car. Also, a very hot and exhausted Son, who wasn’t even driving but still managed to get so hot in the car that he felt sick. 😂 And a quick video, just because…

Oh and please excuse the wheels, they came with a set of tyres I bought so once the tyres are done it will be back on the gold speed lines. CV grease sir??

Probably the last track day of the year and after doing 10+ days last year, it’s really evident that I’m a lot poorer this year than I was last. As I’ve only managed 2! 😂 The car has had a load of work done though; gripper, box refresh, 6 x new tyres, pads, brake fluid, engine and gearbox oil...

What are they like to drive?? Please say they’re nice!

Was a great day ‘Bone, I look forward to the next.

There’s a Facebook group called RPD - Renault Parts Direct, you’ll be pleasantly Surprised at how cheap OE parts are. And even cheaper from these guys. 👍

The OG race cars were 1600’s weren’t they? Weren’t they called the Clio S1600?

It was done through footman James. 👍

That is absolutely stunning. Please say the underneath is as clean as the top??

It was through my broker, I’ll have a look through my emails later.

You can’t use NCD on two separate policies. So keep the NCD on your daily driver and just get a specialist off road policy for your car that’s Sorn’d. It’s really cheap, think mine was about £100 for the year and that was on a £20k car.

I’ve had it before where the tyre fitter clipped the brake dust plate behind the disc when they were putting the wheel on and it was rubbing on the disc. Wheel off and a tap back with a plastic hammer and life was good again.

So many people build them because they buy the 197 because it looks cool as f**k, and the handling is like no other hot hatch. It’s superb. But it’s missing 100bhp and a ton of torque. Desperately missing it in fact.

To be fair I’d say they were pretty good. Sash has done a load of miles in hers, including lots of miles from people with Zero mechanical sympathy. I’d say the fact it wasn’t the clutches after all is testament to how good they are.

Nice, I like these and they drive really well. I think you could be right with the 20mm drop and silver wheels. Looks a bit too Bradford with the black wheels. Loving the sat nav upgrade too, will work wonders come resale time.
