  1. The Dan Grenade

    All electric Mustang Mach E

    That eye sore is Absolute bobbins and I’ve no interest at all. EV’s won’t be properly mainstream in my lifetime so I’ll just carry on driving exactly what I want until I’m too old and die.

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    No, but it’s probably an Import.

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    I have sold 30+ cars per month for the last 18/19 years. That’s a f**k load of cars. From 90’s Fast Fords to Clio V6’s, to Classic Jags. I cannot remember a single person checking an engine number, not one.

    Returning to my Autoglym roots

    Been Cleaning cars to various standards for the last 20 years. The brand I always go back to is Autoglym. Yes there are better products out there but like you say, for speed and ease, they’re a hard brand to beat.

    New project - Clio Williams 2.

    Cracking choice! As a mk1 owner myself, be prepared to be emotionally and financially drained....

    Another Kangoo 182

    The steels look cool (IMO) but they don’t allow enough heat to leave the brakes for proper track work I don’t think.

    Another Kangoo 182

    I’ve seen ropey ones fail to sell at £1200. I’ve seen absolute minters with everything. Done go for near £5k.

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    Apologies, I need to be clearer. Anything old with the 1.9pd is good. Anything after that (about 2005-ish) then it’s absolute junk.

    Another Kangoo 182

    I mate I sold it in about May time I think? I am hoping to buy it back very soon though...

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    We very rarely stock VAG cars now. Overpriced and unreliable crap. And when they break, it’s £700, minimum.

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    You paid £1000 for that...?! You’re not being serious are you?!

    The New Phone Thread

    Gents, I can buy a brand new (but technically secondhand) IPhone XR 64gb for £400. Is that a worthwhile purchase? My 6S is dying within 4 hours now and it’s laggy as f**k.

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    What else can you get out of the back door...?!

    Are ph2 clio sport's appricating ?

    As with anything specialist (in terms of belts, suspension etc) the ropey one’s will keep plummeting and the good ones will keep rising.

    M135i clean

    Have you got a blue 2 series coupe?? I keep seeing one with TOM 5X on the plate on the M5 all the time.

    Thinking of viewing

    I loved mine. But my wife had to drive it every day and hated it. I genuinely believe that the dci’s are the best car that Renaultsport have produced. No cambelts to worry about, the clutches are proper strong, they go well, they’re reliable, good on fuel, fast (once mapped) they’re great...

    Rattle can job?

    I recently did a qashquai (sp) boot handle and spoiler in black. Came out absolutely perfect! Plenty of light even coats, left in the sun to dry on a hot day. Looked brilliant if I’m honest! Lol

    Paint Blemish/Poor respray? Help!

    That’s a burn. Someone has tried too hard with a machine polisher to get that scratch out and burnt the paint. Needs a repaint unfortunately.

    Thoughts on high mileage 182

    The engines are the strongest part of these cars. They’re bomb proof of looked after properly. I’d personally go on condition and history over what the speedo reads.

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    Track day today in my mates 500 Abarth and the MX5. And two mates stupidly fast clio’s...

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    In true CS fashion, I have ignored everyone’s advice and just put a deposit down on a 172... ?

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    we Thinking about this all day, and im done with Renault’s I think mate. To maintain them properly is M3 costs. The hubs, the belts, the rot on the older ones, it’s just mental.

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    I do work for them, I bought a black 180 SS for them on Thursday which spurred my thoughts in to getting one.

    I will never own another Vauxhall. I absolutely detest them! ?

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    Greetings all! I’m wanting a cheap bit of fun for a bit (daily is a boring diesel barge) I’m properly torn between an Abarth 500 and a 197. I will do the odd track day in it but mainly just a bit of fun to use when I haven’t got to take lots of stuff to work and don’t need the estate car. I’m...

    My New VXR (Holden content)

    My mates one had decays and a Wortec exhaust and sounded absolutely brutal. I actually made a small child cry when I was showing off with it once thinking I was cool. I was not cool and her Dad definitely wanted to hurt me. As someone has said, I detest Vauxhalls, they’re absolute s**t. But...
