Out of the garage and ready for summer!

[Bluebeard]

Ish. I just need to tax it.

I re connected the battery, and drove it to work. It started first time! I then washed it and polished it using some AF triple. Then I tried this Hydr02 that everyone is banging on about. Very impressed! And I didn't fcuk it up JD ....

Anyway, Not bad for 25 years old! Gets so much attention from the 'older' generation.

Paint work looks fresh!

[Heez]

Damn son! Looks factory! Love it.

 

[Herr Flick]

What does the exhaust sound like?

 

[Bluebeard]

What does the exhaust sound like?

Exactly the same as every other Xr3i/XR2 you've heard! A bit farty and poppy! lol

 

[Mendizmo]

Very nice mate, love it!

 

[Loz H]

cool car

 

[Herr Flick]

Lol. What are you doing with it? Just keeping it until it falls apart?

 

[DaveDreads]

Looks lovely in the sunlight, do the kids know it's actually your favourite child?

 

[Mr R.]

This was mine when I was 21.

 

[Bluebeard]

Lol. What are you doing with it? Just keeping it until it falls apart?

Yeah it just sits in the garage. I looked at the last MOT and i've done 190 miles in it in nearly a year! lol.

I'm going to do the cambelt/waterpump a big service and a new clutch this year I think. Just to make sure it stays good! All of the parts come to less than £100! lol.

They're not allowed near it. Make of that what you will! l

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd imagine you'd cry if they rubbed a jam sandwich into the seats,
I thought you were planning on taking the family out for day trips in it like your Dad did with you?

I was. But now I don't want to.

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah, wouldn't be good for them to see their Dad cry.

'Mummy, why is Daddy crying'?

'Because you got gravel in the footwell'.

 

[peedee]

Very old-scool cool!!

 

[Ian_182]

Looks lovely Daniel.

That'll take you all of about two hours then

 

[Tony Hunter]

This the one you were scrubbing out last time I came down to see you?

 

[Bluebeard]

This the one you were scrubbing out last time I came down to see you?

Yes mate. Apart from a lease car, this is the longest I've owned a car!

 

[DaveDreads]

Do you have any plans for it like an RS Turbo conversion to make a sleeper,
or are you a pure oem bumder?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nice.

 

[Cub.]

Looks good potato!

From memory (and it may be childhood bias) but those seats are the most comfortable in the world. Ever.

None at all. I had plans with my mk1 and some 5 years on, it's still in a million pieces. Me and Projects don't mix! Although my mechanic wants to fit his twin webers kent cams and ditch the injection.....

Childhood bias mate! I thought the same until I sat back in it again! lol

 

[DaveDreads]

Webbers & cams sounds like a winner!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Dam you dan ! I was speaking to dreads about f**king my DCI off for one of these !

 

[DaveDreads]

How's the search going, rust rust and more rust?

 

[Mr R.]

Needs a turbo.

 

[Grant89]

Proper memory jerker this! My dad used to have an 'A' reg Ghia one of these, bought it new from the dealers but didn't have the pepper pots, I used to love it, was proper old school cool!

He eventually sold it to one of his mates cousins iirc and 1-2 weeks later I was sitting in class at school gazing out of the window and saw it go past on a flatbed...been rolled and had a 'tasteful' Pure Carma sunstrip added! To say I was gutted was an understatement!

 

[cat171]

Looks really clean dude, I'd leave it how it is.

 

[Bluebeard]

Rust rot rust rot rust rot rust rot filler rust rot filler filler more rust rot rot rust.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

I've got all day for that ! , back to basics

 

[Bluebeard]

Buy this one off me then. With less than a weekends work, it will be show standard.

 

[DaveDreads]

What happened to never selling it you c*nt? lol

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm a proper indecisive t**t aren't i.

 

[DaveDreads]

At least if you sell it to Raz it'll get looked after,
he has an entire garage with more tools than i've ever seen at his disposal.
