Is J45 the only version of RB on the 197? Do Halfords still do paint mixing? I had a feeling that they had stopped, but I might be wrong.

To cut a long story short, the keyless buttons on my door handles aren't working properly, so I'm going to replace them. I've bought some spare handles and new buttons but, before I fit them, I have been wondering about painting the door handles in blue to match the car, rather than the standard...

Your attitude is impressive in a way to be honest. If I went from walking out of the house in the morning and getting into a relatively modern, V8 super saloon, to getting into a 30 year old diesel brick, I would be suicidal. Your love for these cars must be strong.

A press car I think. It does look so purposeful.

That's not bad. I really want to give it a go, but not really sure what platform to go for. I was going to go Xbox, as a few of my friends have them, but PC is tempting, as you can add VR then.

I didn't even notice the big give away on this car - the sticker on the air intake saying it's one of the stunt cars!

A lot of mine have been with Javelin, so maybe it's a theme with them then. They didn't seem to give a s**t. My friend was driving my Clio on his first ever track day. Got hung out to try by a prick in an MX-5 race car that wouldn't back off on a straight to let us past, We ended up off-line...

If I was in the Porsche, I think I would have just backed off and let him go, or just done a drive through of the pit lane. Sod following someone like that. I don't think I've ever really seen anyone get pulled up for driving standards at a track day sadly. I've known people to get a black...

Depends which car it was. There was one that had a turbo engine in it - it belonged to Craig Lieberman, who was a technical consultant on at least the first film. I think it was one of his own cars, so had most of the bits done, but was repainted and modified further to suit the needs of the...

Proper.

Yeah my Pixel 3 is the same, shows the details on the lock screen. The Huawei is probably sending the data to the Chinese secret service instead.

Oh right. Pretty unusual for a modern car!

Does the Trophy not come with an engine cover as standard? They look nice in white.

Looks well. Like you say, nothing outrageous but they look so good, so why wouldn't you?!

Glad you had a relatively clean weekend and the car performed well. A shame about the penalty but a good weekend all the same, so well done!

I'm sure, but they don't do a lot for me for some reason. Much prefer the later stuff. Phase 1 106 Rallye would be much higher up my list than a 205.

What on earth are they? Never seen them before!

I would have a Nova SR over a 205 I think. The 205 is better, but the Nova just has something about it.

They've sold thousands of them, so I would think there are plenty out there that wouldn't feel the need to justify them.

As opposed to Renault's? I'm not sure we're really in a position to talk :ROFLMAO:

What kind of power is it putting out in that spec?

This all day long.

That's a car that's just going to keep on going up in value I reckon.

They were right, it does look really aggressive from the front in that picture. Makes the Clio look tiny!

Some great pictures there but love this one.

It would have been nice if we'd got a bigger engine, even 2.3 EcoBoost or something, but I still think they're awesome. They have real presence in the metal.

The Monaro was supposed to be ok wasn't it? Albeit in a lairy, slightly crude way? Corsa VXR Nurburgring and Astra J VXR are meant to handle well too.

Yeah that is a bit of an issue in this country I should imagine. Fine for the yanks, where lots of people have trucks as cars, but a pain here. They're still cool as f**k though.

In fairness, the roof rack is probably worth more than the car :ROFLMAO:

I'm rather pleased about this. Those three cars will make a great garage and hopefully you'll get plenty of smiles out of it as a standard car - enough to make the bad memories fade away hopefully!
