  1. Which one out of curiosity? We have a load of road safety/fire safety talks coming up in schools in the next couple of months! Nono there was a good choice of cars old and new i think there was something older than my Renault, unfortunately a few of owners count 'good modifying' as spraying some callipers and adding stickers, but there was all 4 car parks filled! i think there is one coming up rather soon, and the show at Uttoxeter race course. Anyone have any idea why my car is a cnut when starting it when the engine is warm? it ALWAYS needs choke to start...? First pre 90's car i have had.
  2. There is a fairly big car scene in burton and the surrounding shit holes, me mainly drive to Derby for the pride Park 'local car meets' meet and Derby dubs, which is just bring any car. The LCM Meet has a pretty damn good turnout! Where abouts do you work chief?
  3. Well its been many a year and many cars since i last posted to T-F. This is one of the current cars, if anyone has any parts from back in day sitting in the back of their garage/shed, let me know! Renault 5 1.1 Campus, nearly rustless, cut springs, loud, low and fun car. The car is an original midlands car, bought locally and kept locally. 60k on the clocks. (very soon)PLANS! Lupo/polo 6n2 coilovers (mk1 fits but i had these spare) they just need the bottom hole reaming out and some washers to fit BBS mahle 13x6 (reamed out centres to fit the silly french sizing) New drivers door New front plate Yellow headlight tints Fix exhaust, its been key banged and blew a hole in the zorst, but sounds so f**king cool, i might straight pipe it. Longer term plans ovloV b18f maybe t maybe not, mated to the standard 4 speed box respray if i can be bothered Doubt anyone cares but ill keep posting pics as i go P.S anyone with a VW UP and wants some coilys, i have a set going cheap as f**k.
  4. The Ford website is useless. I now have to wait an extra 2 weeks for my st3 because I didn't realise it didn't come with door protectors and the Sony premium sound pack (basically a subwoofer that fits perfectly and doesn't look out of place) Cnut
  5. New car wing mirrors aren't the best of things for visibility, I may have to start turning my head.
  6. The 330d is 'the best car ever' so it's to be expected? Which 3 series?
  7. So here is my temporary car until mid June when the st3 has been built and delivered. It's an A-class amg sport edition a180 Comfort is amazing I love the interior Engine is a diesel which happily gets 80mpg Gearbox is WANK clutch 'hangs' when shifting quickly + 1-2-3 ratios suck. 'UKDM hates you' represent! Greetings get hunting for a 750 then v12 power!
  8. How the smeg do I post pictures rather then using the tf pic uploader?!
  9. Bucky you should of uppercut the bint off your car there and then. Can't stand those meet 'models'. My goodness some of them!
  10. Have you got an a class amg then?
  11. Whilst I'm on my epic 5 month wait for.my st to be built, I've had an.email back from the lease company. Apparently there struggling to match me up with a car of similar specification, but have a Mercades A class AMG sport edition in, if I want that. Two things come to mind I quite like the new a class so wouldn't mind it. How good is this st I'm getting?! Still would prefer an sls
  12. Finally got the car to my mechanic today, Been running okay since December, just a bit milky on the oil cap. This literally happened as soon as it got on the ramp! So bought a new engine, getting fitted at the end of the month. Will do a burnout and kill this one properly.
  13. Glad my ford's on order, bastards have 5 months to ensure its on properly.
  14. Cheers boss! -3 it is then! Can't wait now, once the paperwork is signed and sent it shouldn't be long at all
  15. The gt86 and brz are 500-700. Decided on a Focus ST-3. But as always test drive first! Got to go to derby to drive an ST-2, and it's one of the mechanics cars! So will be able to get some real info not just sales wows. Just curious, does anyone know the difference between the ST-1/2/3? Price's go up though
  16. You need to be a part of staffordshire council to apply, but it's pretty unknown of! Linky dinky http://www.tradedservices.staffordshire.gov.uk/fleetcare/car-leasing.aspx Only one other person from our Firestation has got one, rates them very highly. You can't be on adhoc payment, but so long as you are, you can get new car! Just give him or her a bell and they'll send the list over just shy of 8k variants.
  17. Battery saving apparently. My phone counts automatically connecting to wifi is saving bat-r-ez....
  18. As rule of thumb I want to be spending max of 370 a month, the focus st-1 is 420. For some unknown reason there is no fiesta st? Is that fiesta a diesel? It's no deposit required. There is just shy of 8000 variants of cars to pick from depending on the money I want to spend! Send.me your email and I'll foward you the email containing the list. Sorry about the pic size but if you can see, here is some info on it
  19. Can't send you a pm. Need serious advice on those cars added to the list: Ford fiesta Renaultsports twingo Citron ds3 Focus st (expensive though ) Volvo v40 Seat ibiza Possibly vw polo or golf Maybe scirocco
  20. Jardo can I send you this car list? Need advices
  21. Right been looking into getting a lease car, prices, milage blahhhh... Been thinking: Renault twingo renaultsports 1.6vvt Seat Ibiza Sport coupe 1.4 tsi cupra dsg FORD FIESTA HATCHBACK 1.6 Titanium or zetec 3dr Powershift (Jardo?) There all around 300 a month.
  22. I don't believe it's a hg because it's not oil mustard on the dipstick, the waterloss ratio is only as bad as mu old e36 328 and I know that one ran perfect, even on lots of short trips, never foamed at the oil cap. I think the breather needs cleaning, and potentially a new pipe, but at the angle the car was earlier, I couldn't get the pipe off to check for cracks, or clean it. Atm I'm putting it down to: ICV CCV Old S.plugs And sump gasket. A chap at work said about getting the injectors atomized! O_O
