I spotted a simar vintage 911 targa this morning and my first thought was how small it looked in traffic. I can see why prices are solid though as they just look perfectly proportioned.
My insurance ran out just after my gearbox imploded so I didn't renew while it was broken. 2 months later I got a letter saying if I didn't sorn it I'd get a fine. I should have done that to start with but didn't expect it to be off the road for so long.
It was yesterday and I don't know because I didn't go😂.
We've been upto The Motorist in Sherburn a couple of times and it's usually a good craic. Calling it a Yorkshire meet definitely was a bit optimistic.

More than you paid for it n but not as much as you've put into it. Probably would sell for more as a standard car. Any tidy 172 seems to be priced with a 3 at the start now.
You can get deox gel that sticks to bits you can't submerge. But that's a rust remover and I think it'll be better to wire brush and then use hydrate 80 which is a rust converter and then add protection of choice. That's the process I'm doing atm.

Pms brace is a good mod that can actually be felt. No where near as much as the one I fitted to my R5 many years ago but that just shows how much more rigid the Clio is than the origami 5😂.
What did the Mrs hit to smash the headlamp? It must have gone with a right bang, I bet she s**t her...
