Jesus, that’s pretty serious!

A capsicum red and an Inferno, right here in Washington, DC!

Brilliant! Haven’t seen one of those in a long while. What condition is it in?

Thanks- no, I paid for evil speed ones already! Not at that price. Real ones do seem to be becoming the new bitcoin though.

Thanks- I thought it looked yellowier than the Renault shade. Giallo for the win!

Wow that shows the difference very clearly! I saw some for £78 on eBay and thought about it, but the genuine ones might be something I do at the end of any work. Probably when they’re £178!!

Just read the entire thing, brilliant. Is the yellow sunflower?

I used a permanent red sharpie. It’s not perfect, but it wasn’t before, and it’s so much better. I’d say it’s pretty close to that territory. But I specifically wanted a cheap ac’d cup that I could work on. At some point it’s going to have to have some bodywork (ok, all the bodywork) to handle...

I used a permanent red sharpie. It’s not perfect, but it wasn’t before, in fact, it’s so much better. I’ll do the other one when I have a minute.

It’s “Cleveland”, in Hull

Probably a good thing that I changed that pollen filter.

It’s good to be a car weirdo. All the “normal” people must be weird in another way, which has to be worse! I’ve been there with the birdshit thing. How’s this for depth and impact?

Seeing that rear end pic reminds me, I need the correct bootlid badges too...

Got a little bit more done. From: To: Got these on: I forgot- headlights are fresh! the picture flatters it, but not bad. I love cups. It does need the Turinis in bright silver though. And the door shut,

looking great!

Say goodbye to the very special 1.2 Clio alloys and the very very special “three-a” tyres. Who does that to a car like a 172 cup? Absolute madness. Eibach springs fitted, at least at the back. Hard to tell at the front Absolutely shagged sills. Again, who does this?? You have to have s**t...

Clio is back from Two Techs. Belts, phaser, waterpump, oil service, 2 front wheel bearings and a fixed bonnet release. A couple of other bits done by them, great place, very happy. The headlights are being polished this afternoon and I will make an attempt at getting the Sabelt wheel on. Maybe...

People do some strange things with old cars…

Good luck with this, I’m sure it will sell fast!

Any update on this??

Have you got a project thread going? Good on you for getting stuck in, it’s rewarding!

I had a mk1 golf gti done at TSR, 1.9 pack c- so bored out a little and bigger valves and ported head. Maybe the cost-benefit on the F4RT isn’t good enough? Or gaining other areas easy to come by? I mean, relatively, .

Please could people make a lot more effort to sell upgrade parts in the for sale section, so I can fit them to the previously unloved cup I just took on? Come on folks. Oh, and cheap too, please. 😁

Haven’t seen the cup for 36 hours… all going well at Two Techs when I last checked and hopefully it’s back Friday evening or Saturday. Did have it booked for a/c service and headlights being polished on Saturday so I’m hopeful it will be ready! Despite it being currently a fairly steaming pile...

What a rollercoaster! Very happy for you and I hope it’s smoother from here. I’m in DC very often and there is pretty much a complete absence of any interesting cars. Wherever you’ll be, your clip is going to stand out a mile!

Just read this through- great thread and congrats on your retirement. Keep busy! Just clips will do that to you, mind. Also, you’ve taken some really good pictures, especially up on the moors.

I’ll be doing the wing vent mod shortly.

I see mine is poo and that one was guff!

In need of a lot of tlc. I should have bought a £6k one and saved myself a lot of hassle 🤣

And on a more positive note Best upgrades so far though: febreeze spray bottle and Ineos antibacterial wipes.
