Careful - these things tend to turn sour quickly.

I am the 8%. Although im sure ive told you that you are a silly looking cunt many times.

This is cos I sent you a video of someone colouring in the Michelin man yesterday isn’t it.

Alpine renewed today - thats a year ive had it now. Gone up £20 to £398 but ive added an ECU map since then.

Those 1950's Mini halogen headlights are not helping.

Has anyone watched the Chris Harris Francis Bourgeois train program. It’s superb.

I’d still buy the £400 socket set. Brakeeven after the first time. See what I did there :lol:

I saw a short on this cowboy garage that charged $8000 for pads and discs on a Hellcat. Then they tried to justify the cost. Half of it was for the pretty ordinary steel discs and pads (don’t believe ...

Our mate Chris's car made it on to Porsche's Insta account today.

Alpine MOT today

Yep. Luckily I had toyed with taking the alpine and decided not to.

That's shit. Can't quite see from the picture, but can it be PDRd out or will it require a new bumper/panel?

Edit: looking closer, that's a tough ask to pull back to straight, I think.


The bumper is fine. Bit of sanding and a tiny bit of filler will sort that. It’s the arch that’s dented ...

Fucking bastards.

Return Journey.

The rally ends at Lake Garda and you then need to make your own way home (Chunnel paid).

Mrs A is going to fly back from Bergamo on the Thursday as it's the boys birthday on the Friday. I am then going to spend a couple of days coming home via Germany. Plan is to do the BMW museum ...

Despite the drilling - I think this is the worst video harry has ever done. Man fits wheels to a car. Man refits spoiler again.

Surely it should be the Mini e

Min-E

Think they missed a trick not calling it the minii or imini. I saw an advert for the BYD Dolphin Surf with £229 down, £229pcm, 1.9% APR over 4 years.. looks a small footprint 5 door vehicle


The fly in the ointment here is that I'm not clear how much it is going to get used and when it does it ...

I don't think in that market I'd be able to look past an R5.

I've been a passenger in one and it was just a mini with a whiny noise. It felt very normal and not much shouting about being electric, which seemed a shame.

Dave!


Ive driven the R5 and the Alpine A290. I can get both on my salary ...
