Seeing a lot of Aygos' with rotten sills Tim, give the underside of the outer sill a squueze around the grommets...made from tissue paper it seems!
I like the little Hyundai i10, had a few in for MoT's etc and seem a well put together car and fairly well apointed too

It would have been great to see the outcome of your vision.
Didn't realise Kev duffed it up so bad

more than once

You did more than a favour storing it Kev, and I’ll always be grateful for the work you did on the sprint and sud, I think I got the best side of the Clio deal tbh. The sprint still looks good (and might be for sale :shock: ). Can’t have everything Kev, and I’m more than happy with what I have had....

That 2nd pic makes me sad that both those cars I failed to repair as promised Tim, yours and that Lancia 2000 that I'd had for a few years and never really got started with. I wish things could have been different and I could have sorted the 75 for you, such a long ownership it's a real shame that i...

Weather permitting (although Tom usually guarantees it) would be great to meet up with the Green Machine again and maybe Iain with his 33. Sadly I didn't see either of you on the day - although sadly the weather didn't cooperate this year so we were dodging showers most of the day. I did manage to ...

Well, I'm back! Amongst all the drama I managed to lock myself out with too many failed attempts, and being lacking in enough internal memory to recall the correct password....must be my age! Thanks to the incredible efforts to restore the forum for which I take no credit, there are 2 guys who have ...

Mercedes reliability :roll: https://youtu.be/bcF1CFKKuyI?si=2Z9COpsYqd2Z7OIg I watch this guys videos a lot, he's really an exceptional engine buider and mechanic, has a straightforward attitude with customers and staff. He also seems to have a dislike for the modern idiotic way of doing things, lik...

My own thoughts are in a similar vien to Tims' in that I have a Giulietta daily and have hadno dealings with the Giuila cars, either personlly or through work. So no real help there then! Must admit I like the Giulietta enough to consider a last of line one may be a replacement when the time comes t...

That does look nice, and I agree fully wth John it's too good for a freebie...looks like it still has a safety devices cage in too? I'm sure John would ad it to his collection of track cars

Rob also took his 182 which is a bit more track focused, he seemed to be having a good day too!
Spent most of the day cocking the rear wheel especially when he got his first taste of slicks with the extra grip they give.

Clio performed admirably, handling is spot on, brakes were great, decent amount of power so we didn't get in too many peoples way, even put a lap on a few cars 8-) In the afternoon we put the Nankang semi slicks on in an efort to finally take Coppice flat out which I've never had the car, or courage...

Up the famous Cadwell mountain

We did a trackday at Cadwell Park this last Monday, blessed with mostly dry weather which for late February was a real blessing!

Fantastic bit of nostalgia there Tim, hadn't heard of the Press on Regardless rally for years, USA is pretty much off the radar nowadays for the WRC, unless you count Mexico of course!
I'll have a good read through them all later, thanks for the posts

I'm always keen Lou, been good days out before

I usually post some moaning doom and gloom, this or that that's bugging me or whatever. This week though I am happy to report that I became a grandparent for the first time, our Rob who a few of you have met before has made me very proud again, him and Shannon had a baby girl on the 28th. Went to se...

I think we are indeed now miserable old sods :lol: No belt on but I was parked up :D These electric cars are mostly a PITA to test. It has a toggle for reverse, drive or neutral and you press a button for park. Trouble is as soon as you switch it off it goes into park so you can't rotate the wheels,...

IMG20231220143421.jpg Welcome to your future :cry: This is from a Nissan Leaf I had in for Most today. 2016 model so 6 years newer than my Giulietta. Look at the details. 71k on the clock. Full electric obviously, and on full charge you get 80 miles before a 2.5 hour recharge is needed. Not very us...

Giulietta reached a milestone this weekend, not an unknown number nowadays as cars last longer especially diesels but I am happy to be doing my bit for the environment, by NOT expending energy and resources on building new and vastly heavier cars and using ones that already exist, that's my excuse a...

Went for a quick look on an old fourm a lot of us used to go on, some still do I'm sure, but jeez louise. Talk about hard work! Bombarded with ads, very fussy layout, I know I'm biased but this place is SO much better as far as I'm concerned. Only went to see if there's and 156 V6s for sale, still q...

Still got those youthful looks eh Tony
Nice surprise for you though

Had a 2009 Punto to MoT yesterday, learner driver hoping to get it through without big issues. Unfortunately the rear axle beam had other ideas. :roll: IMG20230927121115.jpg Passenger side had a slot in it from being corroded badly, worse was to come on the drivers side :o Whole underside was rotten...

Yep, I can also vouch for Nathan and Cloverparts. Used them before a few times, always helpful.
Used to be near Gainsborough but recently moved to near Lincoln.
They also repair and sell cars as well as break them for parts so worth keeping an eye on.

One thing I would like to ad which has been a nice reminder, if not a surprise, is that there is still an apetite for the forum. We did wonder if maybe it had run its course or started to wander down that path but it's nice to hear there is still enthusiasm to continue on, maybe and hopefully with a...

We set up this forum due to the Ads on the Alfa Owner forum where we left because of other issues with a lack of freedom and other problems. They now require a $50 per year subscription to be Ad free, we didn't want that. As for the question of how much it costs for Shrew and myself to fund the foru...

If the above post has made anyone think that maybe the forum provides a service that they'd miss then please act on it. It wasn't meant to highlight the generosity of Tony, or any of the others (sadly just a few others) that send in a regular donation so to those that do donate already we thank you ...

Excellent, remember now you'd moved onto railway restoration, big boys toys!
Feel free to share

I was kinda on track with No3, in that the windscreen wasn't in view as the picture was looking down the bonnet not up towards the 'screen!
Would never have got it anyway

Hi Phil, long time since we've seen you!
Was only thinking the other week about the old days when you did the 6C recreation and we all had more energy and enthusiasm! Hope you're well
