I'm planning a similar trip in August. I'm going to be catching the ferry from Rosyth to zeebrugge, and then heading to Swtzerland via the Nurguring. I'm going to be borrowing my sisters mini, as I've just sold my williams, so instead of taking it on the track we've bought a ticket for the BMW...

no wonder, it was sold to a Gollach! Bunch of nutters up there ,lol

Lol, It's still going strong. Just had a full service and new timing belt at MOT time. Give me a PM if you're interested, it's in Scads this week. I need a diesel for all the work milage I'll be doing over the next 6 months :(

Ah, cheers for that. I'll have a look at the 182 buying guide too.

Is there a way to identify that the cup suspension pack has been fitted (apart from the different wheels, which could have been fitted afterwards), and the seller isn't just talking out of his hoop?

It's M846 WSR. It used to have French style plates, but I had to take them off for the MOT so it's back to standard plates now.

Hey Ali. It's going well, went through the MOT in March without any major issues, just a couple of track rod ends. I had the timing belt done, and a full service whilst it was at the garage so it's all good. I'm planning something a bit newer in the summer tho, just got to decide what I want...

I think I've seen you in the town a couple of times. A cup with a private plate?

I'm planning on selling my williams in the next couple of months, as I want something a bit newer. I'm torn between getting a 182/182 Trophy or a 197. I keep changing my mind though so who knows. I want to find the best compromise between purchase cost/comfort/ fun value/ and running costs...

I always thought car prices were higher in Aberdeen?

Spotted on bridge street this evening. Just wondering if it was anyone on here?

One of my mates works as a sky tv/telivision installer, and he highly recommends the monster products. Not cheap though!

How do you know what number that your car is? Does it say on the reg docs?

Cheers guys, thanks for the advice

Cheers Edde, don't really know anyone in Aberdeen in the motortrade. I'll prob just go to Halfords and get some decent 5w 40 oil and the filter. Unless anyone in the Aberdeen area knows a better/cheaper spares centre I can get the oil/filter etc from?

Spotted a Williams 2 or 3 ( not too sure, was half asleep) on Rosehill Drive this morning going to work. Just wondering if it was anyone on here?

This is the first change I've had to do since I got the car. It's mostly just town driving with the odd blast out on country roads that I use the car for. I will be changing the oil evry 5-6k miles. Not got any trck days planned in the near future

I'm going to give my Williams a service next weekend, and was wondering what oil I should be using? Any recomendations?

Will do Ali, I'll need to give it a good clean before then though,lol

Cheers for the compliments guys, it really could do with a proper clean though and a few jobs doing. Hopefully get everything sorted out come MOT time in march.

Yep, we were told it was -32 the other day in Tyumen. I just started a new job last week, and I'm getting sent over there for a month as part of the training. All the boys that have been already say it's a right laugh, so I'm looking forward to it, not so much the cold weather tho!! you...

Ha ha, I'll need to keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about

The cars still sitting at the RAC auto windscreen centre waiting to be fixed, I'm hoping to hear from them today. I'm heading to Russia in Feb for a month, so I'm just going to put the car into the local garage back up the road when I'm away to get everything done (MOT, zorst, cam belt, service...

Thanks guys. It's no where near as clean as it was when I bought it from Ali though, I really need to wash it more often! Ali, did you get up the road ok, you starting work in Aberdeen?

They're taken on the A87 between Tomchrasky and Invergarry, near the west coast. Lovely scenery and a great drive.

Just thought I'd finally post a few pics of my Williams 2. I bought it from Ali back in September last year. Now missing a back window.............. Was driving to a course for work today and the back window kind of exploded! I think it must have picked up a stone chip and then the frost...

Yep, that was me. Car's still going well, I've been trying to get a few pics posted but can't get them to work.....something about the file size??

Hey, just thought I would say hi, I used to be on the site occasionally when I had my valver. I've just bought Alis' williams 2 so I've joined up again. Very happy with the car by the way Ali :)

My old valver was on about 130k miles and still going strong and I used to thrash it all the time. As above, just make sure its been looked after.

Is it the Feb edition that has the 172 buying guide??
