  1. £15 a day vs 90p a day for me personally, so definitely! Better than smoking? TBD
  2. Maybe one day someone will post something that hasn’t been utterly butchered, so me and my #grumpyfamcrew have something to be positive about
  3. Fixed that for you.
  4. That would explain the bonnet then, but bumper to wings looks off as well?
  5. Didn’t mean literal polishing, more like it needs a good tidy up 👍 I’m guessing the wrap matches better in person than the pics?
  6. Cripes, that need a fair bit of polishing up to look decent doesn’t it?! Also, and this might be my eyes, but that front tyre looks like it needs a good dollop of air in
  7. More than I’d want to think about: if you can see enough rust to be worried about, then they’re MUCH more you can’t see. I’d walk at that point, there lots of cars out there.
  8. Same for any 350 now, rust will be the killer but also checking for general health (smoking on start up, good gearbox, working electrical etc). We’re now at the stage where you buy on condition, not mileage.
  9. If it’s just for the MOT, pop some OEM ones on then put your test pipes back afterwards?
  10. Not any more, think the old days of expensive insurance or not being able to read OBD (although it is still trickier) are behind us. Parts are interchangeable so no worries there, but I would make sure you’re paying less for an import than a UK car like for like
  11. If there’s ever a way, Veilside will find it. They’re the JDM Mansory.
  12. 🤢🤢🤢
  13. Wouldn’t even bother looking at it with no MOT. Decent spec though.
  14. Crash on track, it won’t be covered. Crash on the road, you will be. It’s protecting them from people binning it on track, then dragging the car to the local roads and claiming an accident.
  15. My favourite 😍

    R8 would you?

    Developing world won’t be able to afford synthetic fuel either. EVs will only be enforced on the developed world by big companies, there will always be another company to sort out demand for the ROW.
  17. Is that Wine Red or BBQ/Smokehouse Burst? I’m an LP man through and through now, I really want a goldtop but with a 60s neck which is proving very tricky to find.
  18. I remember doing a day at Castle Combe in similar conditions in an R300, -6c air temp and go knows what wind chill. Could only stand 10mins on track before rushing back to the truck to sit with the heater on 🤣

    R8 would you?

    £6.50/l for PSF 🤣
  20. Take it back, what’s the issue? You want new cats?
  21. Codes? What for?
  22. That’s what I’d do personally, a good Italian tune up works wonders. Plus, y’know, it’s fun!
  23. Five years! Blimey, the one in my mx5 is 15 years and still going strong! 😂 Test it, if it’s fine then leave it alone. Halfords will do it for free, if you’re really stuck for a place to go.
  24. That’s the beauty of a custom job, if you don’t like it then you tell them to change it

    R8 would you?

    Mate, I’m as diehard a petrol head as you’ll find but even I can see that electric cars are the future now. Whilst I have no desire to own one as a fun car, like it or not they’ll be your only choice before you know it.
