That looks like a fairly serious build @T3gav - great to see it! More updates on mine - and I got the head back on, and thought it was running ok (usual lumpiness due to the cam, and needing a tweak when we set it for emissions), so pulled out of my drive to go the 3/4 mile to the garage for...

Nice to see some more minis on here - Is that a round nose or clubman, @S33bio (The colour looks brilliantly BL-clubman era!) Lovely cooper too - I do love an original, earlier car (the temptation to put mine on 10's is strong!) My colleague that is planning on joining me for the L2B has a...

So, we get into covid times, and I needed more projects! So 2020's project was adding a turbo to the Exocet, and '21 was mostly messing with my sailing dinghies - although I did find the time to uncover the mini in the back of the garage and did some work to upgrade/improve - so I drained and...

I think this needs a long overdue update - especially since the thread title will need an update, as it will be 30 years in August since I bought this thing! I'll bring in some highlights from another forum that fill in the gap, and then bring things up to date! Back to 2013ish - The progress...

Had this since new back in October 2004 - not too bad for almost 18 years, written off twice (both very minor damage), and still only 62k… now known as the cockroach!

Since I'm online and posting about my Exocet, I thought I should probably update this thread too! The little Cockroach is still going and had almost hit 62k miles (and no more accidents!). It's been on the road for the past 3 years since the last update - only blotting its copybook by breaking...

I've been keeping an eye out periodically for availability, and just managed to get a pre-order in on the Game site - they are suggesting availability from March 26th, so might be worth a look if anyone is still trying to order...

I've had my 182 from new back in 2004 - and it's had a fairly eventful life - having been written off and resurrected twice, and still only on 60k miles. Other cars have joined and left the fleet, but the little cockroach clio is here to stay! I need to update the thread, but more about it...

Funny to see this thread keep getting bumped as the OP... I was using my original machine to blast off the patio today - still going strong 12 years on!

Just seen this pop up, and will drop Paul a line to see if there's any news - I know he has had a busy race season, but was going to get something sorted with Jerrick and Edwin at Meister...

So, it's been a while, so it's time for an update. Firstly, I have managed to get my exocet through the IVA and registered, so have had that out and about, covering a couple of hundred miles so far, which has shaken it down nicely and identified a few jobs to add to the list. However, now I also...

Came for a drive past around 7.30 in the green machine to see if anyone was still around, but looked like you had all left...

Will do - hope you have a decent weekend!

Excellent stuff Paul - I will be looking for kit for a 2003 clio 172 cup. I will give you a call tomorrow or early next week to sort a plan with you.

Cheers guys - definitely unlucky with the double whammy of crashes - but also lucky that both have been just panel damage - and the insurance company have been pretty good in terms of paying out quickly and fairly both times! Not a lot to update at this stage - but at the moment the plan is to...
