Cars

My Integra passed MOT this morning. Another year without any advisories. I’ve shamefully done < 600 miles in 5 years. Got back home and the old girl went back in the garage. Steering wheel removed this evening to be sent away tomorrow for a refurb - a few years ago I must have caught it with my pants zipper when getting in and scuffed the leather. Shame as it was excellent before I spannered that up.

Got a few other bits I’d like to sort this year.

Spotted this yesterday on the school run

I know. I enjoy looking at it if that helps? :laughing:

It is all just excuses to be honest, however even just driving to the garage that does my MOT and back, 13 miles each way, kinda puts me off - other road users and their behaviour.

Not at the moment. No steering wheel now so the car won’t be moving again for a couple of weeks :joy:

Next time you open the garage please send one of it, any angle :joy: :heart_eyes:

It is good fun. Mugen suspension, Eibach adjustable camber bolts and arms (f&r) with a fast road set up, Yoko AD08 (not the new RS!) tyres. Mugen front and rear strut braces, Mugen intake, braided brake hoses with decent brake fluid. A few stone chips here and there, side skirts need repainting. Steering wheel off to be recovered today. 25 years old this December.

No doubt they’re not quick 0-60 in modern terms but point to point they’re pretty rapid once set up correctly, which they really need tbh.

You’ve got a perfectly square peice of dirt on the numberplate.

It does attract too much attention and it isn’t even loud :frowning:

Sounds bob on. Get it driven.! I’ll happily come and drive with you in my Passat estate - people will be far too busy looking at my car to notice the ‘teg.

Haha, forgot - stiffened gear selector springs and detent springs, delrin shifter cable bushings on the gear stick side and aluminium shifter bushings on the gearbox side. Short shifter is a bit overkill for me as I don’t track the car.

One for not stoked but there is goings on in there today.

Wrapped up steering wheel, took it to DPD drop off box yesterday morning for next day delivery, printed label etc etc.

And nothing since. No updates on app or search thing except ‘placed in locker’. Nothing.

Checked locker this morning to see if I could retrieve it and send with someone else but no.

I just need to know where it is :face_with_spiral_eyes::joy:

Ah FFS, DPD are clowns! Can you contact them to chase It up?

Tracker was finally updated this afternoon :slight_smile:

They’re normally alright. I guess they didnt do a pick up yesterday, which means they’d never have met next day which I paid for…

That’s a relief! Probably just a sign you need to drive it when the wheel is back :winking_face_with_tongue:

Hmm

Thought we were all supposed to be buying leccies?

Vulgar.

It’s bad enough as it is with all the Defenders and G-Wagons I see around taking up so much space.

I can’t talk as I have a Touareg which isn’t small! Not Defender sized though. If I could afford another car I’d likely have a Honda E for most daily stuff and just keep the Touareg for towing.
