Renault clio 197 Blue £2k Hth.

You can leave whenever you like.

No point in thinking about that. My father in law sold his Lotus Cortina for £80 scrap back in the day. For arguments sake let’s say it was 1984. 40 years ago. How much would he have spent on storage? At £50 per month that’s £20-odd grand alone. Then Mechanical upkeep? Cosmetic upkeep...

It was a proper tidy car that. The last time I looked for it, it was still going too.

Not the cheapest one I’ve bought, but I bought a 2005 Inferno that had a load of tasty mods on it. Guy gave me all the standard bits too. Paid £2k for the car. Spent a weekend putting it back to standard. Sold all the mods for £2k Did 2 track days in it then Sold it for £3795. And I think (??)...

Western Power Steering in Hanham.

Sachs Motorsport clutch and organic cover plate on mine. (From PMS) Gripper fitted and track only, it’s lovely. (But it f**king STANK the first time I used it 😂)

As a rough idea, I am just coming to the end of a small resto on a ph1. Brakes all round Shocks and springs all round Suspension arms TRE’s Ball joints Tyres Cambelt kit Aux belt kit Major service New exhaust And a general tidy up/clean up underneath I think my total spend so far...

It’s just good business mate. My worst fear is and always has been; if he takes that home, will his neighbours think we sell s**t cars? It’s pointless prepping them badly and customers not thinking ‘wow’ when they see it. As soon as they see it they want it. Less viewings and faster turnaround...

I have to wear headphones instead of using the stereo as the noise they make is mental. It’s only me working on the whole estate on a weekend so f**k knows who they’re shouting at, feathery incontinent c***s.

12 hours. Im fucked.

Got a MAMMOTH job in this weekend. A gloss black (with black pack! 🤦‍♂️) paint correction on a Mitsubishi Shogun. Whole car - 2000 wet flat, 2500, 3000, polish. Fml. 😂

Pop the washer out. Much safer.

The last ever brand new genuine 172 Exhaust in the world??

Just get a reg number for an E tech model off autotrader, ring up your local parts department and order the badge under that reg.

11 miles… 😂😂 Mate I’m not doing any this year. Other than Anglesey at the end of July for CSF. I may (?!) squeeze another one in afterwards, and will shout you if I do. X

I’m not surprised. £25k and it’s got bald tyres and a catastrophic oil leak.

Did you read my original post?? 🤣

It was £1000 more expensive to sell the old one and buy a new one. Rather than spending £2k on a full service new brakes, 7 new tyres, new jockey wheel and new wiring on the old one. 🕺

My trailer doesn’t have a rear window mate…

Including vat??? f**k Me. No wonder they do so many. Sorry to keep asking questions, but this is blowing my mind. How many of them worked on it?

It’s good to see - what was the bill going to be if you had to pay it? It’s making me want to buy a 320d for my wife. I want a 330d but I can’t afford it and there are loads of cheap 100k mile 320’s around. But the chains put me off. This could be the best solution!

That’s mental, fair play to them. They’re obviously very good at what they do.

Where did you buy it from??? I want to buy my next car from there.

Big big fan of these in PFL. I hate black wheels but other than that, Sterling chariot. 👌🏽 (Good luck with the chain! 😂)

Having been in my mates with sound deadening (the silver backed black rubber stick on stuff) on his floor rear doors and roof, and owned mine (nothing, not even ply lining or a bulkhead) I can safely say that sound deadening makes a HUGE difference. 😂

To carry it from one side of the car to the other?? You speak to me like I’m tidy and I pack my tools up at the end of the day. 😂

Wasn’t there a ‘thing’ a while ago about chamfering the edge of the pad to stop squealing?

Every time I go to his place I have to argue with myself to not buy it back. 😂😂
