Cars

I have them in my bus, and one you have one all other car seats are inferior

Don’t buy this one which I travelled down to MK to buy in Feb 21 IIRC…I’d stupidly thought buying a nearly brand new car (3k miles) from a main Skoda dealer remotely would be trouble free, spent best part of 2 hours driving down the MK to find this - front wing was out of wack too. Car dealers eh? General fit, finish and material quality isn’t that great and I think you’re right in saying the Seat seemed to have jumped up a peg above Skoda in that regard. A lot of Seat cars looked well ropey after 3 years a decade ago, not looked recently though…

Old A5’s are on the ones to avoid list - often ragged around with saggy suspension and smoky diesel engines. Those quick A45 Merc hatches seem to have a poor owner demographic too. Oddly enough some of the poorest driving I see when out and about is Dacia drivers with dashcams. Give those folk a wide berth. And caravan wankers :wink: :smile:

I’m not seeing an issue with this!

Randomly saw a pic of an old Lexus LX (basically rebadged land cruiser) and I’m like hellloooooooo

Loving that @Mark. Used to be one around here but not seen it for years.

Sent my ‘to-do’ list over to Motion Motorsport yesterday. Went out for a drive the night before last and I reckon the clutch release bearing is definately finished.

Acura NSX?

Honda NSX Type R - Not many in the UK at all, less than 5 I think. Yes it is a shit photo as the car was in a lock up with an Evo TME, Nismo 400R and a couple of other oddities that I forget. A lock up is generous, it was more like a barn.

Awesome car but too good for fantasy garage.

It would be more like Forester STI, P1, probably an Alfa GTA, BMW 850i, M3 E30, Lotus Esprit.

I’d just have a load of R32s and RS3’s on varying different modifications.

Like, oooh I’ll take the one out with a stage 2 remap and no seats in the back today.

Haha - similar-ish but I’d have the NSX for sure.

Booked my Integra in for some TLC at lunch - Gearbox out for inspection, detent springs fitted, valve clearances, oil and filter change, aux belt, brake fluid check/change. If the gearbox does need work (I’m expecting a new clutch kit at best…) I expect things will start to become expensive.

Oooh Neddy you reminded me, might have to get an R34/5

Absolutely. There’s a stagea on auto trader at the moment with an R34 front end, a manual swap and some mild corrosion. Swoon.

Just done all the livery for Andy Rouse’s cosworth from 1988, my god the finickyness, all trying to match blurry photos and everything was just slapped on anyhow back then anyway.
Not allowed to post any pics either.

My Brother is a bit of a Ford nut, so I can appreciate via proxy.
