OV9

No attemps either and parked in Sheffield every day next to the very dodgy Hyde Park flats. The alarm did go off once and the police turned up, traced my ownership and called home, my mum answered and let work know who sent me off to check it out, all ok

I sometimes wish I could hang onto cars for a longer period but I start geting the car searching itch after a couple of years. I kept cars longer when I was younger as I didn't have the disposable income and there wasn't the choice there is now! I think the longest I have kept a car was six years ...

Do an east of England road trip and visit Cadwell too, perfectly suited to the Elise

Try getting out of a Caterham with a red hot exhaust in the way, in shorts. I don't think anyone noticed me flinch

the wheels on the trolley jack sink in with the weight of the car but they return to shape afterwards without any damage. There is no movement at all from the tiles when going from lock to lock, just lots of squeeking :)


I think this would freak me out. Trolley jacks need to roll as freely as ...

It was very very good but too extreme for the (my) road

I've had a test drive in a Caterham today and now know that I definitely want one.

Caterham are holding various test drive events at dealers around the country so I put my name down and received a phone call arranging it at my "local" dealer. This was at Northwich in Cheshire which although not ...

Thank you!

Guess the new car thread coming soon

I'd noticed one of the front tyres on the Beetle had some very fine cracks on the tyre wall so time for a replacement. On closer examination it's dated 1999

The owners sound like proper porsche geek

Not sure if you have the add-on that shows the price history, but he had it on at £10,695 earlier in May.

For anyone asking about the projects,

Compact is back on a random assortment of e34 wheels, it, the Merc, the mito, the Up and the x5 all running and driving well. Still waiting on a new prop from Germany for the x5 before I declare it properly ‘fixed’ as it’s still running on a centre support I ...

Radweld. If it’s good enough for Mat Armstrong’s Bugatti…

The Royal International Air Tattoo has today been cancelled today due to the orange idiots actions with Iran. RAF Fairford (where it was due to take place) is chokka with B1 and B52 bombers so very difficult to see how it could take place. We were booked to go so disappointed but everything rolls ...
