welcome along

You must have been the Zed in while Mitz was doing my MOT and service last Saturday. Need to get mine done at some point but oil pressure is fine at moment. What mileage was yours on and what hot idle pressure was it showing, Mitz said they definitely needed doing on yours.

Welcome along

Thankyou Rob and Chelsea for organising. Definately had the best run after lunch. Great to meet everyone for first time.

I think they get the lines from “the salesmans book of b*ll*cks” available from all shady bookstores priced at £29.99 guarenteed to get you more sales or your money back!

Slightly off topic for this thread but i went to see a car once with the money all ready to buy, description and pics all looked fine on internet. Got there for a test drive and salesman said. I can knock you a grand off (from 6k to 5k) if you want today, trade sale, no warranty, went out for drive EML light was on. I asked what the fault was, he said, there is no fault, the EML light comes on, on all deisel cars when its cold (it was around +3c) it goes off when its fully warmed up. I mean, come off it pal, obviously i ran a mile, wasnt suprised to find out driving by same garage today that they are now out of business!

The uk models have come down to a price now though where there is little difference money wise. Yes i agree, some imports will be in excellent condition but i was suprised to see the amount of factory underseal protection on my uk model when i recently topped it all up. Looking on youtube, i was equally amazed at the lack of any protection on US models. I mean it was just bare shell exposed. Of course if the import has been fully treated then fair enough but something you need to ensure with our weather. Also, when i was on the CAT driver day, Colin was saying how he was involved in the extensive reworking of the car for the European market, think thats why it took a year longer to come out over here. He was saying something like 80 odd things were changed including the whole suspension/ handling setup to cope with 150mph on the autobahn. The jap models were never realy tested over 100mph. Again, i stress, its all subjective, the often used expression “buy on condition” applies as usual.

Welcome along where are you from?

Welcome along. Rare car too!

To be fair, most 10 year old performance cars come with a degree of uncertainty that could bite you in the ass. Just enjoy it buddy and if you can save a bit up, replace the “weaker” areas when you can. I have done the clutch/fly/slave and upgraded at same time. Gearbox in the HR is the uprated one anyway. Not done the gallery gaskets yet but oil pressure is fine. Just keep an eye on things. Enjoy it!

Its that old saying, you cant go wrong putting your money into bricks and mortar. And med-long term it still seems true. I wonder how many People (esp down south) are “on paper” millionaires now purely on the back of their house price. I also watched something about Gold prices shooting through the roof over the same period. just think if you bought a gold house back in the seventies

I think its an add up type chart Stu. Not sure of the proper name. So you only measure the difference (additional) colour for the number. Ie Q1 2017 red starts at 26 finishes at 43 = 17TWh Then blue starts at 43, finishes at 75 = 32TWh although i could be completely wrong i think thats how we did it in the queens finest GCSE exams.

Welcome along even in standard trim, better looking than 99% of everything else on the roads

Great car, best colour, welcome Scott

Welcome Ben. Congratulations

Obviously Rob, the speedo gauge is faulty as its showing 77mph. Its a great milestone. The only downside is the car is now worth half what it was last week

Will the rear fit a HR? And is it Ibisu black?
