I'll be off to my unwrap the Clio after work after it being sat most of the winter (used once since November), gonna drive it into work tomorrow and then out for a blast Saturday. Anyone else planning on dusting the cobwebs of their play thing this weekend, as the weather is good for most? Here's how I left mine, more pics to follow once uncovered...show us what you got?

Weekend toy, what you got?

A bit of change coming for me, but at the moment I have this clio track car, had it on the road in 2015 but track only since, did a trackday in Feb and now up for sale http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262906927911?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649:
One of these (picture's not mine) for nice sunny summer days which made a fast road car a little less important to me:
A spectacularly ropey one of these for when the weather sucks, which allowed a few miles over winter and while the salt clears:

I should be collecting mine back from Beaniesport Mid April.
I haven't driven it on a public since purchase back in September last year. I am looking forward to actually having a weekend car!

I was supposed to be getting the AG mot'd tomorrow in preparation for the better weather, but it turns out the wife had other plans. Ffs.

My elise is my toy, it also became my livelihood as I started a business building them for other people too...I do honda k20 conversions.
It was my daily driver for a while, but now its mid rebuild on its way to having 500hp per tonne....

The V6 will be making an appearance once the weather sorts itself out!

Best colour imo
Not driven mine since last year, I decided to remove the rear suspension to give it all a refresh ready for the summer.
I'm also going to remove the turbo and send it away to be billeted, should be good for 400 bhp. I'm really looking forward to driving it again and getting out to as many meets as possible.

The Clio is a year-round toy. My RS2000 rally car should be running in the next couple of months too
Ha ha, yesssssss! Winner. Give it a good run on the way back, get the oil working and the battery juiced up. Must be great to drive it again after so long.

Haven't driven it since last May, but this will be going back on the road soon i imagine:
Yeah give it a good run mate, funny as the tyres hadn't lost any pressure whatsoever which I found odd.
I like that! What's the specs on it?Haven't driven it since last May, but this will be going back on the road soon i imagine:

Thanks!
Full project thread is here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/another-mcs-the-track-day-toy.755737/ but brief spec is: JCW airbox, newman cam, 450 injectors, GRS I/C, remap (225bhp), bigger R56 brakes, coilovers, ARB, adjustable front/rear camber, bucket seats, etc etc etc. It goes pretty well :up:

That looks smart, I'm starting to get into minis now, having never really been interested in them.
Initially, the mrs bought a standard cooper s convertible which was to replace our aging mk4 golf tdi.
Since then, she's realised it's bad on fuel (and possibly oil?...) & too impractical for her daily work car.... (I told you so springs to mind! lol - must own up to influencing getting the 'S')
So at the moment, it's our 3rd car & has 'weekend good weather' car status in my house. driven it under 1000 miles since buying it.
It's a lot more work to drive than the golf & audi, with a stiffer clutch & gear change!.... but it's nice to have a 'fun' car again after 9 years of derv.

Rampant rabbit.
Wow mate, love it and I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait. [emoji41]
I had to wait just under 3 months for my Spec C before I could collect it, almost 2 years on and I still love it to bits.[emoji106]

Like my Mini, that's because you never actually drive it though

Well you just won this thread... One of my favourite cars
And a tub of slide and ride?
Driven it more than my weekend toy, which I've not actually driven at all.
