Ossian

I came away from a classic car policy this year and insured it as a second car with Admiral, 43, UK manual all mods declared and was £187 for a 5000 mls limit. it means I can now use the car to comute if I want something that classic dosent usually allow, plus Im now gonna build up no claims on it as well!

:D he wasnt keeping it to 3500rpm.

Couple of weeks back, returning home from our last meet I came up behind one. He launched it coming out of a 30 he was quick but I wasnt left too far behind. the next village exit was at 50 and I was ready this time, sure he was pulling away from me but not at the rate id expected. Further up the road was a different matter though! he floored it going round a double round about. f~ck me it was like something out of Tron Ive never seen anything go round corners like it, boy they can really handle. I didnt even try or id still be spinning yet.

When all my mates had xr3's xr4's and Mantas, I went for a MK2 Supra just to be different, It was a great car and well kitted out for its time. had it for 5 years before trading it in for next to nothing. wish id had space at the time and I would have kept it! Werent many about back then, and must be like rocking horse poo now. Cant find any pics of mine, but it was one of these. [ATTACH]49058[/ATTACH]

Others might dissagree on my comments about parking up cars, it's just my experience and findings over the years. What cars deffinately dont like is being parked in damp conditions, it takes no time for any exposed metal to develop surface rust and alloy components end up with a powdery coating. Its up to you whether you want to fire oil down the spark plug holes, I wouldnt bother, though it could be good for fumigatting the garage when you first start the engine. A cover would be handy to help prevent paint damage, somebody is sure to bump against it or drop something on it. Puting it on stands will help prevent the tyres from develping flat spots.

Although it isnt ideal, as long as its in a dry garage it should be ok, I had mine of the road for over a year and just started the engine evey couple of months. Apart from the flat battery it started first time everytime and hasnt missed a beat since. Years ago a I worked at a garage next to a new car storage compound, it wasnt uncommon for cars back then to sit in the field for a couple of years before being sold as new :). probably best to ensure your oil is fresh, old oil will have a lot of acid contaminents from the combustion proccess which wont be good for the engine and make sure anti freeze is up to strength, if its too week it speeds up corrosion.

Renewed tonight and I'm not sure whether my details were added automatically

Added, just to warn you though my site is boring as fook and Im hardly ever on it.

Seems its the Biggar show that has caused the upset!, but thats for vintage motors as far as I can tell, dont think ours quite qualify for that!

Yeh I'm on Bebo and friendzii, but fooked if I know how to customise it.

As per the title the show has been cancelled! I will look to organise something in its place.

I had 10 names, whether everyone would have made it I dont know!

Tam I already took the liberty of entering your car But!!!! and its a big but :( The show is off!, Ive had a call from the organisers today. Apparently it clashed with some other show so they pulled the plug. It a real shame because this has produced the most interest in an event in Scotland for ages. We can still organise something for the day, I will look around for a suitable alternative.

:headvswal: I sent the application form away today. PM me your details, I'll wait a week or two and request to add you to the list.

Its looking good Baz, is that the Strosek car you were stripping?

I had much the same thoughts with the doors. Tightened up the window runners to stop the rattles and sprayed the insides with cavity wax. It sounds far better closing the door now.

:rofl:, you can do it, just dont drive it any further than the end of your street!

Sorry Mark missed this post, it didnt show up for some reason. Nah we were probably a hundred and fifty miles south of Lairg. But that gets me thinking lol! that would be a great weekend run in the Z, up through Lairg then onto Durness, pitch the tent then hit the pub :).

Hmmmm welding and Z's is a familiar theme.....If you want to come along to the show with us I will need some details from you to complete the entry form. Send a message to robert.brown22 at hotmail.com Im looking for your registration number and for you to state you have valid insurance.

Would have said the thought of an auto with 300bhp and rwd scares me more :). 30 days til KFC time, can you do it lol

Welcome to the club mate. Your welcome to tag along with us to the show if you fancy... my car aint exactly show material either :)

:D PM being sent

Me You Gstar Badmonkey Berrica (possibility) tttam (aint got back to me yet, but is likely to be going) Possibles (unconfirmed) Crashcourse (he has issues with his car so unsure if hes gonna make it now) Davy J omar omars friend Poor shrek fubared his car :( , so unless he gets another pronto, unlikely to see him

Nice brakes, lot of dosh though! and no way i'd spend that when you could buy a car with decent brake upgrades for the same. Also in the third pic down theres what looks like a fracture in the disc centre section, could just be a mark but id certainly want to see it up close before buying.

Anyone else wanting to put their names down for this? need to hurry as it needs to be posted by Monday at the latest?
