You're a good man thank you.

Actually....Can you get me a pic of the rear seats? From being sat in the front?? Just so I can see how big the middle seat is. Thanks kindly x

I really like these, great value too!

Right, bare with me... On a standard car (not messed with) the car will automatically lock if it's been unlocked remotely but the doors haven't been opened. It's a safety feature so that the car remains locked even if you unlock it by mistake. Of your car is locking even when you open a door...

52k. But when I say unmarked, I do mean not one single stone chip anywhere on the car. Brand new steering wheel the lot. A guy wanted it for a hot hatch collection. He's bought a 172 exclusive now though. My own fault for dithering.

Ohhhh, hold on a minute then! Yeah, they're a pain to sell. I had the older shape (they were 2.3's I think?) but at £500 a year, families used to run a mile when road tax was mentioned! I thought it was a 2.2 diesel for some reason??

Yeah that's a cheap car. And if I didn't have 7 cars already, I'd be buying it for my Mrs. Good colour, good spec, right engine.

Is it new shape or old? If it's new shape it's too cheap, if it's old shape it's too expensive.

Sounds like a cheap car to me? (I know nothing about Mazdas!)

I have a standard and completely unmarked 172, had a repaint, all new tyres, belts, suspension... basically renewed everything I could! I was offered £4000 for it just before Xmas. (In hindsight I should have sold it!) People love standard cars. And you can claw some more cash in by selling...

We'll have to disagree on that then.

Put it back to completely standard and sell the mods. Chance your arm at £2999. But black and silver are the two hardest colours to sell. But the more standard you make it, the more people it will appeal to.

That near side rear wing looks as though it's been built with filler.

A carbon air vent on the bonnet of an Aston V12 Rapide is £1,790+VAT... There's four of them too! Lol

Everybody knows someone with a compressor nowadays surely?? (Valid point, I'll get back in my box)

Autosmart Vortex. YouTube it, thank me after.

Swap the red and the yellow wires around on the pioneer half of the wiring harness.

Ant, was/is he an actual detailer? Or just a hobbyist?

As I say, I have no clue about these ceramic sealants (and no interest in learning TBH! Lol) but to my rookie mind, I'm in 100% agreement with you. Has anyone else in the R26 club had this issue at all that you know of?

Black gold paint is a piece of piss to swirl. Like, breathe on it and it scratches. That said, I've never had much to do with this ceramic bollox so not sure how well it will protect. As a side note, I never use dry drying towels, I always soak them in very warm water and a splash of drying...

Happy days, my Monaco is sat in the garage under a cover. New paint, wheels refurbed, new tyres, belts, new suspension... the list goes on! I'll get it out in the summer.

Still going well I hope mate?

174k on my E320cdi 151k on my S Max 135k on my Impreza Mileage doesn't bother me...

Whilst I kind of agree with you, small tracks like this are usually packed with beginners. And they're too busy looking forwards and trying to concentrate. If it was a £200 day at Brands Hatch I could understand your frustrations but at a little track like this, just back off for half a lap...

He didn't mean you.

Did you vomit at any point during the weekend? And more importantly, did you miss me??

Most of which could be avoided if he bothered to actually look at the car before he bought it.

I.... Well.... I'm not.... It's big. That's for certain.
