Yes - until one day when the supply/demand curve changes shape and they stop coming up for general sale 8)

There you have it in a nutshell ^^; spot on.

Not forgetting the super track at Pau Arnos; there are some superb BnB's up the road too ;-)

Ha haa! I'll drive a good bargain don't you worry ;-)

Not to mention Lotus Cortinas, now £40k + for a good one, I remember the time when they could be had for peanuts..... An original spec but restored concours condition Morris Minor fetches over £10k now! As an example - I have a mint, original 1955 Excelsior 150, 2 owners - worth maybe a...

As somebody more famous than me once said, there are those that know the price of everything and the value of nothing - agree with the above ^^ - keep/drive/enjoy!

The swarf was apresent for a mate here - can't buy it here so it counts as bartering currency 8)

Also, my mate wasn't around on the Saturday (his house thankfully was) but he let me have his GT3 all day, which was most kind; then Sunday morning driving in his SL55 AMG (what a great zorst) followed by a little ride in his '23 Silver Ghost when he finally turned up. If this was the only...

Julz - only bolt on was the new momo wheel, which has transformed the feel of the car; no more sticky hands and a bit more space due to slightly smaller diameter. 1250 miles - totally without missing a beat, 35 mpg for the trip with a fair bit of 100mph on the French autoroutes! (with the STM's...

Just got back! Iain from dent wizard is truly a magician; I'm mega impressed by what he did and would unreservedly recommend him to you all; bloody brilliant!! Car is now properly mint :-) have posted some pics earlier on here of the carbon lid (search on 304) - if you can't find them I'll...

Right, off we go - night ferry here we come!

Double points if you spot 304 between Friday morning and Monay pm between Psmouth and Oxford - I'm over, just for a long weekend :-)

Callum, what are you doing to your car!! Snapped 3 springs now if I recall correctly?

I agree completely.

Well done!

Welcome, happy hunting ;-)

Nice - what was the cost of the changeover??

Sorry, no, I run Ktec ones.

No point having a strut brace with rubber top mounts imo; whether the brace helps at all is debateable - maybe with slicks it might start to make real sense... I have STM's, and a strut brace, and stiffer engine and box mounts as it happens; it's harsher on road than stock but not unbearable...

You'd hope not.. They'd be under guarantee would they not? Could be ball joints but it did look a bit to springy in the vid imo... How do they compare side to side for bounce? Other options include top mounts or broken spring???

Hmmm, looking at the vid, that seems to move up and down far too easily; knackered damper methinks :-(

Ha! there's the reason; needs to be used more regularly ;-)

I agree, but just wondered; anyone mentioned/considered a worn dephaser pulley? In any case, whoever worked on it shouldn't be asking you to do the fault finding, they should be sorting it out!

Ta :-)

How does the airbag come off (other than by crashing into a wall!)? Can't see any obvious clips or screws and don't want to butcher it....

Would make vibration more noticeable but not shakes imo

Technically, Rick, that is a question and not a suggestion .... However you are right, it's a pita! I guess that with an open forum it's next to impossible to block and relies on the hard working mods to erase the posts and block the spammer (who then re-joins with a new id) :-(

Good for you! :-)

Not cheap, but what the hell!

Sounds fantastic! Btw, what did the car hire cost (if you'll excuse such a vulgar question)?
