We were in the white c1

Cars looked awesome in convy

Was a great show

Great cars

Sun Burnt my head

But I still think Prescott is a better venue.

Really enjoyed it

I'll get some pics up once I've taken them off the camera

This came from France

It's being restored this year.

Got to love a 2 door

Yeah that one looks a big photoshopped to me, I can see it now

Cheers Paul,

Just seen it's a 2 door

well sorry to say it looking very unlikley i'm going to make billing  :( there is nothing wrong with the ascona its me thats broken down an old back injury has raised its ugly head and ive been confined to the sofa for the last 3 days the doc has given me stronger pain killers and im hopping that i will be well enough to join the rest of you who are attending  :'( :'( :'(

I HATE tooth aches and back pain

Anything else I can just about handle

But back aches not funny

Got a box

Lambos saved the day........have I got time though???

No billing for hearing aid

In short, I blew the gearbox last week, got another f16 and fitted it tonight.

Went for a test drive and yep lovely all sorted.

Had a tear up on the way home BRAAAA  lost fith AGAIN and plenty of noise.

So gentle drive home, pulled out the cluster while it's still Fucn hot!

Only other cluster we have is a f18 but after a few hours of very mid swear words later we realize it's isn't going to work.

So it's sitting in the garage sulking and waiting for a f28 now.

I'll chuck another f16 in it for the euro trip though but looks like I'm missing billing in it and possibly retro rides in it.

Dave, you can't rush these things mate, take your time don't worry about it

Ha ha

Getting less and less cars at the mo

Just sold Goldie

2x 200sx nissans

George the blue Sri on xe and 45's went in April

Only got the 2 door (being worked on) Sri saloon 130 and hearing aid.

Oh and the mk1 cav xe 2.0 sporthatch.

One day as my sig says LOL

I saw that

And also there's no wishbone etc inside under the drivers side front arch

Hope it is Paul

How do you know it's photo shopped?

Well nearly a cav

Bloody been done now

I was well slow 

Too much talking

Too many projects

Not enough motivation

Yep

On route to collect it now:)

2 doors still coming on

But Goldie's going up for sale

A little bit  closer but you'd right not that much, I thought you were closer to Bristol than that.

Your cav will look awsome against another turbo cav at the pod

cant be bothered to drive that far

WTF!

It's on your door step compared to me.

Looks like I might be going up in a fast retro now.........

yep im going there then.

nothing retro though as i got nothing fast retro.

ill be taking the good old 75+mpg C1

Never going to see change out of £2000 fuel full up on that truck let alone purchase price. Lol

Ute and monaro to expensive.

So far it Still looks like a £2k Audi S8.

Bit of power, 340bhp but 1800kgs

4x4 so plenty of traction.

Good Family car is a bonus but not a necessity.

20ish mpg (same as a diesel doing about 35mpg if you take in wear and Tare, service costings and more expensive fuel).

RWD Volvo 940, 2.0 turbo but auto, played with from 165 to 200bhp

The subaru was a legacy Paul. I Had a 2.5L 4 cylinder and a 3.0L 6 cylinder.

Nice workhorse but not so silky smooth as I'm after nowadays.

The H6 is about 240bhp powerfull, torquy but on airbag suspension it was a bit wolloy.

really don't want derv

would rather pay a bit more in fuel for a luxury cruise and less repair bills

a mate just had to pay £1100 to have his high pressure pump repaired and that had done 85k miles!

it will be used about 10 times a year MAX for towing but id love something big and cruisey.looked at 4x4 but na ive had a muso sangyung (was good but SLOOOOOWWWWW) and a range rover 4.2 petrol and that was clumsy and not my thing.

the Volvo was about my favourite tow car but they are a bit too old now, the newer ones are fwd, and big 4x4 ones are out of my budget. approx. £2000

We'll I'm looking at a tow car again.

I've had.....

Subaru legacy 2.5 + 3.0

Scorpio cosworth

Bmw e34 325tds se

Bmw 323 petrol

Volvo 940 turbo (played with )

Astra with c20xe

Transit van

Combo van

Audi s4 2.2

Audi A6 1.9 sport

Omega 3.2elite

Cavalier 2.0 & v6

All ok but now I'm looking at an Audi s8.

Question is has anybody towed with an A8 or S8?

If you have the panels and skills it's worth it.

If you don't and can afford it get a good body shop to do it.

If it's going to sit another 7 years it will be well worth it.

Normal car less than £500 for a dog.

Nice road going example £2000.

If it's mint insure it for about £3-4k.

Show condition £4+

You would really struggle for insurance to rebuild one, they would simply write if off.

Id love to go but cant afford it to be honest

wasted my money on a RX8 im bored with
