  1. Not bad I spose mate....... Lovely car, hope you enjoy it bud. Let me know when you're heading out this way for a look over it.....
  2. Our friends at the GTROC are hoping to hold a joint meet with us....... WHEN: Saturday 15th of August, from 12 noon to 5pm WHERE: Cherry Tree 33 High Street Steventon Abingdon Oxfordshire OX13 6RZ HOW TO GET THERE: Steventon is located some 8 miles North-West of Wantage, about 1 miles off the A34. The pub is adjacent to the main road. The pub can be found easily from the A34 - leave at the junction for Didcot and take the turning off the roundabout signposted Wantage. A little way up the hill you will come to some traffic lights, turn right for Steventon (signposted) and the Cherry Tree will be found on the right hand side just over the railway bridge. (Please note there is a speed camera on Abingdon Road.) Link: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/122028-third ... -09-a.html I will be going along to say hi, be great to get plenty of others along. Who else is coming? 1. H5
  3. I got caught the other day on one of those, coming from a 60 into a 40, was at the naughty drivers institute the other day after being caught at 46 in the 40. Dual carriageway, just didn't slow enough..... Oddest bit of all...... I was in the Volvo!!
  4. I agree. 30 and 40 are the most important speed limits. I friend of mine was hit outside my house when I was 11. Mentally, he still is 11 and physically ruined. it just ain't worth it.....
  5. I'll be speaking with the guys I know about this show, will put it up as a formal meet when I know more. Heavily discounted tickets are likely so watch this space.
  6. Yeah I usually use it, as long at you do a panel at a time and only leave it a few mins then your ok. My brother did his whole car in it yesterday and left it 20 minutes.... Took him the best part of 2 hours to shift it....schoolboy error! R Completely agree, I forgot about one of my front wings when doing my systematic, apply - remove process, it was an effort!
  7. No speed awareness workshop for you, and 60 in a 40 is going some! Probably an indicated 65 odd on the speedo mate.....!
  8. JL Audio TR series at that budget. Possibly VR's for a tad more, lovely sounding speakers.....
  9. That mitt looks like it will soak up a whole bucket of water in one go!!
  10. 476S is a great hard wax. Hard work, but great protection.....
  11. Keeping it outside at the moment gives a REAL wet look at the moment mate! Since using Dodojuice, I've dumped using EGP and I think the shine is better. Dodo is so much harder wearing than P21S was that I top it up just the same, but it never gets back to where the sealant used to be. As with all these products its a case of giving different combos a go and see what it does Not all Dodo is that much harder wearing, their soft waxes are pretty much the same but agree the harder stuff is tougher. I tried Collinite on mine last time, now that's hard wearing!! Knackered me using it!
  12. Although I think he inadvertantly ruined F1 for a period (god it was dull viewing!) and I didn't particularly like him, I do have a lot of respect for the guy. I just hope there isn't a nasty surprise out there for him that makes it all turn very sour....

    Audi A5

    I feel that most of the German marques have dull, albeit well built, and fussy (buttons all in odd places etc) interiors. The A5 exterior looked OK in the ads, but in the flesh I think it's about as boring as they could've made it, then someone put a squiggle down the side of it to try and put some 'style' into it. Would take a Merc CL any day!
  14. Keeping it outside at the moment gives a REAL wet look at the moment mate!
  15. Interesting.... I would've thought with yours being kept outside the sealant would've been the way to go. I might try stripping mine back, go glaze then wax and see what it does.....
  16. There are some pictures somewhere of a BMW (I think) that hit a reasonable size deer that went straight through the grille and was literally wrapped around the engine..... I got a photo yesterday on my phone of a pigeon on the radio at home. The smaller cat, just yesterday alone, caught one mouse, killed one bird and brought a live pigeon through the cat flap. It scared the hell out the Mrs as she went to wash her hands at the sink!
  17. You drive on the grey / black but girl, leave the fields to the tractors!

    Ferrari 458

    Oh my...... Worst named Ferrari so far though - a 458?!
  19. Go with the style mate, but a different colour scheme.....
  20. You can get into the pits at most circuits just on track days and other 'open' days. James, was that moving picture taken as I went past you?!
