Happy New year everybody!
Im due to start a new job at some point in January which as part of the package includes a company car, so the 100hp had to go, I advertised it and within 12 hrs I had taken a deposit on it, new owner is due to collect mid Jan which gives me time to take the plate off...

Details above, I think its a fantastic technology, fiat have made a massive turnaround. Im test driving one later this week, I ve heard one already -sounds like the original!
I think its going to be a massive hit, why an earth would you buy a smart...
Here it is then, have had it a couple of weeks now, its a narrow body Westfield SE.
Its around 170bhp and has been weighed at 500kgs!
Still getting used to it, seems to go very well..
Ok, so its a 1985 Suzuki SJ410, not quite as cool as Dan's but still a good laugh, its like a moutain goat this thing, already been through some tricky stuff in it and will be doing some pay and play days/ green laning in it.
Good Points:
Its Green.
Taxed and tested
Bonnet polished 50/50, its...
Bit of a marmite car this, looks like a dogs dinner but drives very, very well, feels faster than the figures suggest, fuel economy is good (40mpg), ride is abit bumpy but the handling is exceptional, really is great fun to drive.
I ve had it since March but today is the first chance I ve had to...
Had it for a couple of weeks now so thought I best get some pictures up and share my thoughts...
Its a July 2004 Roadster Coupe 80, its got a few toys on it as part of the 'sports pack' which include the larger wheels, heated leather, paddle shift, boost and temp gauge, 3 spoke steering wheel...
Stour road traffic lights, 10.30ish, sporting roof bars and some surf graphics now lol!
I was in a black Ashtray SRI turbo turning right, you didn't see me :rasp:

I ve seen better adverts for furniture under £20 in the back of the paper,
cheap none the less though.
Has had new gearbox, clutch and steering rack?! These aren't items that normally go on a 1*2, sounds like it could be a snotter.
I received an SP30 a few weeks ago, my license has been sent of to the DVLA to be endorsed but one of my insurance policys is due to be renewed, its on an auto-renew anyway, do I need to declare these points, are they dated the time of the offence or will they be dated as and when they go on...
Parked a few cars away from me in a central Christchurch car park tonight.
I think you will agree the ph1 looked mint under the street light!
Also spotted last weekend, I was in the mini -you looked bewildered when I flashed!
Im toying with the idea of selling the phase 1 now as its getting abit long in the tooth, who's gone from a ph1 to a 182 or trophy.
I love driving the ph1 but its getting on, its not perfect, will need 2nd cambelt soon etc and I fancy something newer, tempted by a 182, general consensus is its a...
I was looking into these before Christmas, finally took the plunge yesterday, bought a Samsung NC10 in blue (same colour as my golf :approve:)
if anybody is considering a netbook, go for it, its a little cracker.
After a month of neglect decided to give it a little tlc, photos are aren't great but there were loads of people going for walks today and its abit embarrassing to be taking photos of your clio!
I put the passenger side window down earlier and there was a clonk and it refused to go back up.
I ve had the door card off and had a look and theres this white bit that runs up or down when you press the switch, which obviously pulls or pushes the glass. This was right at the top so I lifted...

Speedlines already fitted, would make a mint track car.
My gearbox is leaking oil again, I ve already had the selector shaft seal kit changed and its dry as a bone down there in the under tray. It does however appear to be leaking from the near side driveshaft gaiter. Its not just a dribble either.
The garage have suggested replacing the gaiter and I...

Belongs to a good friend of mine, shes a gem, any questions feel free to pm me but I think he's covered all the bases in his ad.
He will also part ex for a 1*2.
My girlfriends 1.2 seems to have an intermittant fault with the powersteering, I went to use it earlier and the steering light came on and there was no power steering.
This happened once before so I changed the battery and it was ok again for a while. Im thinking it could be the alternator but...
Picked up this little gem on Saturday, its an early one (2000) so benefits from the cheap tax, has the alloy bonnet and shift light too, absolutely love it.
Plans are stick the private plate on, ph2 rear lights, get a parking ding pulled out and then go from there. Will be getting a full...
4th car in 2 months lol. This ones a keeper though, plans include losing the fog lights and fitting a badgeless front grill and a set of ats cups.
Sadly it isn't as mint as in the photo's, the paint is cracked on the bumpers so they need spraying and theres a few dings but its all good...
