Thanks to this thread I’ve just ordered the 3 Tonne SGS jack lol. Best price around compared to all other 3 tonne jacks.

Haven’t washed my car for over a year and it doesn’t look bad enough to take a picture ☹️ Disappointed.

Definitely! Full in-depth write up, please!

What are you up to? @Chambers_RS !? 😅😅😭 end of the road?

To echo the above, I went to C&M and also thought it was s**t. Completely overhyped. I think I was there for 20-30 minutes maximum. Luckily at the time I lived within an hour of it. I wouldn’t recommend a long distance travel to it. it’s okay if your local and just fancy a coffee and chat with...

BIN.

Unless it’s a Ktec package with the claimed results on their own rollers, there’s no chance it would make 240 anywhere else.

I just love how he has stayed true to his roots. Buying donor cars for running gear etc. Still happy to get it hands dirty. Also, as said above - he can afford whatever he wants, but he said the 911 GT is the limit to what he can be bothered with on the road. Just puts it all into perspective.

Fantastic interview IMO. This was a proper down to earth, no bullshit - heart on sleeve.

It’s always a gamble - I’ve known some to go for years and years with overdue belts. it’s all about risk.

These are the S2 106 Rallye equivalents for a fraction of the cost. 😎😍

Fair play to you taking the lump out with the bumper/slam panel still on. I find it much easier to disconnect everything and remove the rad to take the engine out.

That’s what I was thinking - for the cost of buying the 200 bumpers etc, I’d not bother. I always remember that cool Mk2 Clio (1.2/1.4?) that was made into a 1*2 track car but kept the non RS bumpers. It was proper cool.

I’m curious why you didn’t buy a RenaultSport Clio for the conversion?

The only thing I can see you haven’t had a reply to, is your air box removal question. this site has a lot of 197/200’s - I’m sure plenty while chime in. You may have just posted at a quiet time and/or you post missed. you can also use the search bar and 99.9% of your answers will be in there...

You’ve got a good few years to go yet - I think it’s around 25 years until you can get proper classic car insurance.

Have you been to the Ring -Rob? Surely your joking about the Ring taxi’s not being fast..?

I love finds like this. Awesome!

Amazing finish! So satisfying! I’m about to start this kind of mission on my Discovery 3. can you expand on what you used? What is the epoxy? Primer? Keep up the good work! :)

That Clio definitely sounds like throwing money away. Leave that one.

If your at that stage where your questioning yourself, it’s time to throw the towel in.

Why do you want to take a 1.2 FWD off road?

This is what’s ruining my interest in cars. It’s hard to buy a new’ish car now that isn’t strangled by wiring and emissions. I wouldn’t dream of fiddling with a hybrid car etc.

A ‘nut and bolt’ restoration means that everything down to the nuts and bolts are replaced - so I took that as you’ll be under sealing, refreshing lower arms/bushes/suspension/Paint/nuts and bolts etc. Just going around a car and replacing nuts and bolts, if that’s what you mean. It’s not a...

But what you’ll spend on a nut and bolt restoration will completely outweigh the end price...

I was quite lucky as a kid - my father had an Escort Cosworth when they were ‘run of the mill performance car’. He must have done about 30,000+ miles in it - tuned it to 400Hp, raced it, stone chipped it, took it out in the rain and snow.. Hammered it around the Isle of Mann TT circuit. He...

As above - the ship has already sailed for these. Better off buying a Rolex watch as an investment. Takes up much less space.. I just don’t think it’s as easy as just parking a car up for 10+ years. There’s so much stuff that’ll seize and perish over the years - the car would need...

I also know of a 172 Cup with <25k on it. 1 owner from new. But because it hasn’t done the mileage, the owner hasn’t had the belts done! 😅 even after me saying it’s age or mileage, whichever comes first. Makes me shudder! The owner is in his late 60’s.

This Alfa really makes bodies appealing.
