I had this one back in the day

From memory it cost me £120

But it was a lovely knob

Watched last weeks tandem challenge, was very good, looking forward to watching the pikes peak episode later as I recorded it.

Wasn't me 😎

There are a few on here including some sponsored drifters as well.

Super powers

But they only work between 12am and 12.05am

Don't worry "Black Betty" is NOT been replaced.

 

Always wanted another Merc SL but with a bigger engine and a few more horses.

 

Came across this on fleabay, what do you think ?. Looks cheap enough.

I pioneered it on this forum

Pick a local independent

any exhaust place can fit them, its not a specialist job, also cost you less if you go to a normal exhaust centre.

They also do it day in and day out so will be very quick

He's investing a shed load of cash.

He got rich by not wasting money, so he'll want to see a return on his investment. The only way to get the big money in is to continue to get the manufacturers in to hire the track and promote public use to raise funds.

Most likely continue with the original idea to commercialise it by adding in retail, shopping hotels and leisure facilities.

The track is like automotive Mecca. He'd be a fool to change it or make it a private playground he'd never make his cash back

Wonder what he will do with it. Frightening to think.. :scare:

Did you bring it home in a doggy bag?

Watching that has made me really want a burger now

Room for pudding?

If it was a classic car or a limbo or Ferrari I might understand.

But its a modern jap car that's built not to rust. And doesn't cost much.

Some of the best driving days are mid winter

There are companies out their that offer free advice, I'm guessing she's part of a union, from memory most unions have people who are able to advise over pension issues. Or can put you in contact with someone

Unlimited supply of Petrol

 

THAT'S 93 RON MAUHAHAHAHAHA

 

and no petrol pumps and it's frozen

 

And a 1 ltr fuel tank!

With an 8 litre engine

Have you brought a towel for the meat sweats?

Too much bread for my liking I'd go for the steak. Although I'd give the burger a go as well at some point.

So to update,

Finally collected my car on Saturday, turned up but the boss wasn't around, no receipts for the work and no reimbursement for costs incurred.

But it does look like the car is sorted, carpets seem dry, electrics all work.

Got the kids 1st birthday out the way at the weekend, and on Monday I wrote a letter, and sent it recorded delivery.

Got a call from the boss on Wednesday, said he felt disappointed how I'd treated him, asking for reimbursement of all costs after he'd just spent £500 sorting my car.

We had a good chat, and to be fair to the bloke, when I've dealt direct with him he has been spot on, its been the hard work f getting to that point.

Long story short, he is sending me a copy of the bills with a cheque for the Volvo dealership costs

I'm pleased its all sorted, and glad to have my car back.

How long before the gov step in and increase duty to compensate for the loss of revenue from it being cheap at the pumps!!

They still get their pound of flesh, cheaper fuel sees consumption go up,

Just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

Have you looked at 306 gti6's

Cracking fun cars, light weight 6 speed manual (one of the first cars ever to be sold with one)167bhp, drives like a go kart, goes like a rocket, understated but refined.

I had one and loved it and would be cheaper than the Lupe to buy

Glad it all got sorted

I think the wheels really suit it, looks very nice

Did that bill come with free lube or was that an extra cost?

Brake line change time and cost was mental as was the service costs. You can take the bloody engine out and put it back in 10 hours

You can get a good service including consumables and labour for £400. To pay £500 and supply all the consumables is crazy.

my new car is a dull SUV for the family, but when tyre change time comes round I shall be getting a set of Pirelli scorpion verde all weather

designed specifically for big 4x4 and covers most eventualities regarding terrain and temperature. its an all season tyre that should offer a nice all round balance. for my my car

this wont help you but I was rather pleased to find a happy medium for my new car.
