You may well be right. I just assumed MK2 to be honest, as it would have been cheap and simple.

I thought it was based on the MK2 platform? Is it on the MK3? From what I've seen online, I thought the engine bay looked similar to a MK2 Clio. I'm sure the engine and gearbox would be easy enough, but it's the suspension that is probably more important in a way.

Well, we're back in lockdown, so I have been having random thoughts 😂 Am I right in thinking that the 2012-2020 Dacia Sandero is based on the MK2 Clio? Does anyone know how closely related they are? A few years ago, they did a Renault Sandero R.S. for some South American markets, and it had a...

That first shot is epic! I really need you to take some pictures of my car :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't worry about it. There are thousands of cars out there with cotton/gauze type filters that do tens of thousands of miles a year without issue. At your mileage, the amount of time it would take for the lack of filtration to cause serious harm to the engine beyond normal wear and tear...

Passed a house yesterday and there was a Dodge Charger SRT, an Astra J VXR, a Cherokee SRT and a 991 GT3 RS on the drive. Apparently he has a Radical too. I am clearly failing at life.

Best interview I've seen of him by some margin. He seems very reluctant to talk about himself (which is odd, as most people I know that have had anything to do with him say he's an arrogant fucker), but it was interesting to hear him talking about the cars he likes, and about his career.

It was Stafford. Jewel of the Midlands.

When I was at uni, one of the kebab places in town was run by a guy with a modified Evo 8. He used it for deliveries sometimes!

Well that seems a bit weird. So he posted pictures of his car and then left? Weird mic drop.

Did he have a tantrum or something? I didn't actually see many negative comments about the car, or was some s**t deleted? That being said, while I know some people like a bit of banter, I'm not sure it's great when people are leaving within a handful of posts. Hardly good for the long term...

Looks alright. Don't mind the wheels to be honest. Don't think I could have a Transporter either to be honest. They're nice enough, but the whole scene is pretty tragic.

They do seem to divide opinion, that's for sure. I think you either get them or you don't. That being said, I love both the 1*2 and the 197/200, albeit for slightly different reasons. I did find that, when I initially drove a 197 (I had a quick go when my mate bought his), it did feel a less raw...

What happened here then?

Never heard of one before?! Presumably something to do with this? https://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/news/17701612.coates-gearing-race-croft/

Saw this today and thought of you:

I have a bit of a thing for them lol

Saw this the other day. About 500bhp apparently.

Like that! What sort of money was it, if you don't mind me asking? Would like a Saxo/106.

What a pair of f**king mongs. Incredible that so many people watch them.

What kind of money is required for the engine work? I thought it would be monumentally expensive.

You also sell cars within days of buying them and collect old Volvos and Volkswagen vans, so I don't know how much stock we can put in your experience 😉

Absolutely. I've owned both a 172 Cup and a 197, and also a Meg 265, so probably have reasonable experience. All have their good and bad points in reality.

They're not too bad now. Just try and buy one with them already done. Other than those, the suspension stuff isn't that different in price to a 1*2 in my experience. Don't tell @Sunglasses_Ron, as I gave him loads of stick about not having a spoiler on his, but I kinda like them without one...

Recaro seats too. Basically, other than using a bit more fuel and not feeling quite so urgent, they're better than a 1*2 in every way 🤣

I have a 197 and I love it, just to go against everyone saying they're not worth it. Yes not quite as willing in a straight line, but a nicer road car, more grip, more planted, and more performance ultimately. If you want fuel economy, buy a diesel. Oh, and on the gearbox thing, the 1*2 hardly...

Watched a bit of the rally stage this afternoon. Thought it was a bit of a shame the cars didn't run individually as it was so short, as you didn't get to see some of them. Commentator was shockingly bad too. Didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

The aero kit is lovely, but not a cheap thing to add I guess. A friend of mine has a 987 Boxster and he was looking at bits, but even replica stuff can be silly money unfortunately. It's a shame, as I really like it. It just adds some aggression that's missing from the standard car in my view...

That interior is proper lairy :ROFLMAO: I think I'd have to switch a few bits out for black personally, just to tone it down a bit.

You managed a whole month. Impressive.
