How long til it's back on the road Williom? I've got an awesome car related surprise for you! I'll post up some pics at the weekend

Nimrods would be ace if they were 15"s I think. Nothing beats White gti rims though!

Go buy some Autoglym engine cleaner, use that with a stiff paint brush, then wash off with a hose/pressure washer. That should get rid of pretty much anything.

What are you using?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh? To be honest, if you can afford to keep your money in the shares you will make your money back. Might just take a couple of years I wish i'd bought RBS shares when they were down at 60p back in Nov/Dec, I know of a guy that bought £10,000 worth, then sold them a few hours later for £20,000.

If taking off the exhaust manifold is the same as on a mk2 8v golf, you have a strange idea of lego!

I'm Ponk on the RR, I knew I recognised that car! I'm glad you've kept the Compo's, they look really good in anthracite with the moonstone.

Profile_BMX on the RR?

See French cars aren't ALL pap! Just most.

lolz

Power to weight is the Frenchies friend

Yup, that's my plan too. I was thinking of Bedford for my first proper outing but a load of Rallye Register guys are doing Brands. I've done a few laps of the Ring and a couple of show track sessions, oh and a Dutch trackday, but that was just madness! I need to take a trip to Pod methinks!

I just sold something about half an hour ago, and the guy paid via bank transfer. The money showed up ten minutes later in my account, amazing! I think i'll go with bank transfer, Paypal will rape me with charges and you can't send money to an individual via credit card can you? I'd have to ask mum nicely if you can anyway as I don't have one.

Got to love the Carbon interior Really like the Clio, do you track it too? Never know we might get the T-F trackday of the ground, i'm doing Brands Hatch on the 28th, can't wait!

Evening chaps, I'm needing to send a fairly hefty chunk of money to an individual for some car parts, he's a respected and well known member of the forum in question but i'm still wondering if there is any way I can send it that will give me some peace of mind? At the moment my options are Cheque or Bank Transfer. I will of course do the usual and get an email address, real address and phone number. Oh and paypal is out of the question as the charges will be monumental. Cheers!

Where have you been hiding that?! Looks great, any more pics? Spec?

Obvious ones are 1.6 and 1.9 gti engines. The MI16 engine is probably the most documented and easiest non 205 engine transplant, the gti6 seems to be getting more and more popular though. You can also drop in a 1.6 16v from that gti up above, but why bother when you can have 160 brake and the best induction noise this side of ITB's! Have a look on 205 drivers, all the conversions will be on there.

Yup, it was a mk3 Polo I think, i'll never understand VAG owners!

Sssh you! You would be proud of me, I spent all day Monday painting a friends car Matt Camo green. There's something strange about painting a car with a roller

Thought I should put these in here too and keep the thread alive Lots more to come over the next few months!

If you want trouble free motoring you don't want a 205 It will be even more rattley, loud, tempremental and unreliable than the 106! Will be great fun though!

Yup, epic fail indeed! :$ This one can work though I'll pop some pics up over the weekend!

There's not as such, the car thread is kind of one but not make/model specific. A nice break from specific car forums for me I guess you too are looking elsewhere now that the 106OC is paid members only? Edit: You could make a French car thread like there is a VW/Mini one? I tried that years ago but it died, loads more French car around here now though.

Sorry I can't bring myself to do it! I will have to declare myself out.

You might want to move your harness straps so they're outside the headrest leg thingys, if you crash your head might fall off otherwise! Apparently anyway. The bike carbs must make an awesome noise, one of my friends bought an old scholl Audi 80 with bike carbs, it sounded like a plane on takeoff!
