Recently took the blue T4 off the road after it’s alternator failed and I can’t be bothered fixing it. I’ve taken it as the opportunity to do the PD conversion I had always planned, but I needed a car to replace it. After loads of hassle trying to buy a Racing Blue 200 then a few other cars...

Wondering what people’s thoughts are on this and also happy to answer any questions. I make no secret. I work for sky and have done for almost 16 years. They are a fantastic company to work for and have some really brilliant products. Ive been aware of this product for about a year but not...

I’ve been doing this for over a year now. Starting on my own car for hillclimbs to learn and practice on. I thought I would share some photos and experience. Starting with some online reading some copper pipe and a ball of string. Done Dave Joyce’s clio using the same method. I then...

I knowing bought an absolute shonker of a clio this week. Copart special. Used unrecorded. 122k miles. Non runner. Rear arches. Silver. Currently worth nothing. Thought I would take a punt at £450 plus fees. It’s on my door step and they delivered it to my unit for £35 [emoji23] Anyway the...

I’m about finished with my mini r53 project I bought back in March and it will be going up for sale this week. I’ve always got my eye on cheap clios and with some good timing a few cheap clios came up that peaked my interest. First one was a racing blue but it was a few hundred miles away and...

I’ve been going a bit mental with projects recently. Normal life for me would normally be working away from home for 2-3 days a week and then racing in sprints and hillclimbs once or twice a month. Now I’ve been working from home for 3 months and I’m unlikely to have to travel between Scotland...

Bought this last week. It was local. A bit over priced but managed to get home down a fair bit to do a deal. Never liked new minis really. But the supercharged R53 is the only one I’ve contemplated owning over the years. I’ve always found minis way overpriced but these are cheap now. It’s...

So I’ve been thinking for a while about getting a Campervan. I liked the idea of a T5/6 VW that I could drive everyday but then also use to take the family away (me the wife and two girls) and use for hillclimb and sprint weekends as well (you see where I’m going with this). Anyway. At £35k+...

Anyone following Graham’s old thread on M100CUP will know the history of this car and that he recently sold it. I thought I would start a thread of my own to update on any changes to the car and record how I’m getting on as a relative newbie to hillclimbs as sprints. Let me start by setting...

I think I’m getting addicted to French cars. Clio bought in September for a bit of fun. Now 205 GTI in January. Wanted one for a long time. It will be part of a PC feature in the mag next month. I’ll post up the photo shoot pics when I get them through. Drive there and back was great fun...

Hi everyone. Joined the forum and club a few weeks ago. Great place to be by the way! Anyway, I bought myself a clio 182 this week, motivation was a visit to a local hill climb open night. I have an MG TF that I was planning to start using for some non competitive track days and hill climbs but...

Hi everyone. I joined the forum a few weeks ago and clio sport properly last week. What a place. Great active community on here. Anyway, started searching for a clio 182 after seeing a few at forrestburn hill climb. And found a suitable one near by which seems a good prospect for a bit of...
