There's a posh house with a big garden a couple of miles up the road and they started having classic car shows there a couple of years ago. "classic" being 2010 or older so I snuck the clio in today's show. Didn't take any pics as usual and managed to get a terrible pic of the clio in the rain...

Welcome, that looks very nice 👍.

There was 4 that colour at a car show here last year. I looked on the porsche website but couldn't find it. I really like it.

I used it for a year or so after I sent the key away for repair but it always asked for a new battery. It's relegated to emergency use only now and I might even get another one in a month or two so I have two working keys.

Ever since I got the car the dashboard has said the key card needed a new battery. Obviously I swapped it more times than was necessary but the message persisted. Now it's gone. I feel a slight sense of loss, like an old friend has departed but also I'm happy that another fault has been...

I randomly decided to ring an auto locksmith to try and get a working card sorted for the clio. Confucius says that only Renault can supply a fully hands free keycard and they have to be ordered from le Fronce and aftermarket keycards will only start the car when in the dash slot. Turns out...

Went to swap the door handles over on my sons merc since the replacement doors have a chrome strip on the handles and the body shop didn't paint them when they did the doors. But... f**king Germans have to go changing s**t for no apparent reason 🙄. Ffs.

I've seen splatter smoother than @Flob welds 😂. Dan could just walk under the car with the welder though so the job would be easy.

I used the M2 all last week and may well continue to do so because just getting in the clio is a ballache atm. 😂 Otherwise I'm contemplating swapping the BC coilovers for some bilsteins. The cars probably not going to see a track and the bullies on the 182 were great and since fitting the BC's...

If only you knew a little man with a big garage who can weld 🤔.

Which one is faster? 🤣

You've done a cracking job building this little bugger and it's repaying you by shaking off the moss and performing lap after lap. Ti's a good car 👍.

You know some things are rare because they are just s**t. This is one of those.

I'm having the same issue with mine atm. Currently 10 clicks from soft all around as I was hoping it would help with the bumpy roads near work but it feels s**t. I'm beginning to think I should have just bought bilsteins instead as they were great on my 182. I'm debating swapping or sending it...

The guy who owns it won a raider on a raffle site last month, the jammy git.

And some other stuff.

Cars in the park at Newby Hall today. The weather was w**k and the turnout was well down on normal there. I didn't take many pics this time but did get a pic of my car for once! Oh that's not mine! Nope, not that one either🙄 Where the hell did I park mine? This is silly now 😂 Ah...

Oh, like you did on your clio's engine?

Went for a wander round Padley Gorge at the weekend and stumbled upon these amongst others. The last mot on that is a s**t show 🤣. And its probably had the clocks changed at some point.

Do wot now?

I was recruited to taxi my daughter about on Friday and the car was making a clunking noise again. One part of it was tracked down to the drivers seat so I'll have to remove that and have a look to see if anything is loose. More clunking was happening though so back up in the air for a spanner...

Fixes the clunk, again. Took it for a quick spin upto town and over the speed bumps and all good. Got home and the fucker won't lock or e cognise the key card unless it's in the dash slot. New battery, same s**t so looks like I'm doing a dance about to lock the c**t until I can get it sorted...

P. S. Did 2 more cuts and left without changing the inserts 😂.

No. I have worked places where one man has run 2 or more machines. But that's OK if it's batch work and the pay is fair. I've always done one offs and when the gaffers decide they don't like me sat while it's running they try to force a second machine into the mix. That would involve a change of...

Fool I had a nap after 2 hours 😂. I can see from here the tips are getting worn because of how the swarf is so I'll probably stop it and go home soon and leave it for the day wanker to change them. P. S. He's milled the od undersize today too and tried to blame me 😂.

I was asked at a previous place to run a second machine. I was doing 10 hour night shifts and they wanted the second machine running for minimum 6 hours for me to get paid for it. They offered me £2.50 an hour and wanted no f**k ups. I was on £22.50 at the time so it didn't seem worth the effort...

Boring job alert. High feed milling a weld prep on this job, estimated time 20 hours. I'm 3 hours in and thank god for works WiFi and my PlayStation portal 😂.

Best car there for sure 😍.

And other stuff. RTOC sticker in the back window! @Tighten My Nuts @Flob Irbo edition 🤔😂 ISF track car. Stereotype? 🤣
