That is brilliant John. 5-sp box I assume. Can see it has the leather seats not the Tillets (not sure I'd be any good with Tillets these days myself :lol: ). Flat floor or lowered?

Gorgeous colour scheme.

Yes, five speed and lowered floors which are spot on for me and I'm not tall. TBH I've seen very few standard floor cars for sale at all so the lowered floors do seem a popular option

Oh and I think the number plate might be a candidate for the "For the FTAO JL" thread :lol:

I completely missed the plate, thanks for the heads up! I like it 😁 Are you going to head to your local L7C meet? They're usually pretty good with a low wanker count 👍

I think they meet at a pub somewhere in Derbyshire so it's a possibility

I think that's why Marilyn Manson had some ribs removed? Something like that anyway.

Urban legend.

However, in this week's Rick & Morty, it's very heavily implied that Rick sucked his own cock to reconcile a disagreement.

Yeah, it's a cartoon so anything is possible, but it seemed on topic :)

Oh, I know the story is bollocks, I just wanted to ruin peoples supper/breakfast by giving them the mental image of Marylin Manson licking his own arsehole like a particularly unpleasant, really shit cat.

Now done 18000 miles in the Clio since Feb 25, as a second car it's still doing great.

A crack in the exhaust hanger needs welding, it will need new rear brake sliders so I'll do that next week and it's just had its third basic service.

Still seeing over 40mpg on a run, we will use it as the family bus as we head to Norfolk this weekend 4 up and generally be fun.

Also, despite a lot of fun miles the tyres are wearing oddly well, even in the heat where they can feel like they start to go off but that may be the road surface.

Still very pleased but I'm hoping the dampers start to die as I want an excuse to fit a full Bilstein set-up on it. Possibly different brake pads and braided hoses too.

Dave!

First upgrade completed. It's mainly for the DRLs to make the car more visible to dozy drivers who tend to look over low cars and not see them. I had someone pull out on me in my bright red mk1 mr2 and claimed they never saw me :roll: I was so close to him that I had no chance of stopping

LED Headlights are a great shout - tech has moved on so far for not a lot of cash - no brainer. The bonus of being able to be seen too is not to be underestimated- i get the same in the elise.

What’s the number plate saying?
