Arch Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'd like to: Get a set of Mugen GP forged wheels. Take it to TDI North and get their turbo kit, Toda exhaust, Kpro etc. Sort the annoying chip on bonnet and graze on front lip Find a reasonably priced 'detailer' for a full going over. I'll probably: Keep driving it everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Eldavo, you'll love 2013's "Car Club 18-30" trip, I promise which reminds me... s2b2 has had rather a good year financially, not Veyron money, but enough to play with. I think we're going to spunk it on something utterly STOOPID in 2013. :crackpipe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 My A4 avant will sadly be going after over 6 years (I was only going to keep it for 3). It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned and I'll be sad to see it go. It ticked all the boxes for what I wanted and it can still shift when it wants to, especially with it breathing the current icy cold air. However a new car is already ordered* and I've got a 3 day test drive in between Christmas and New Year lined up. * and still might be cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinspark Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hmmm, a few bits, but nothing particularly exciting. * Fix the Alfa 75 - I've sourced a steering rack and we think the problem with the 'thrumming' from the transmission is because one or more engine / gearbox mounts are shagged. Then we'll move onto the bodywork and undoing the damage I did at Llandow. * Sort the arches on the MX5 then consider a new mohair roof from Jack Smith's in Swansea. * Take the BMW R1100S (one of those 2 wheeled death traps, for those who don't know) to the Black Forest and Tyrol. * Late on in the year, do a run to Bonn / Cologne / Koblenz kind of area for the Christmas markets in the 75, or possibly in whatever dreary TDI my company give me to replace the Golf. (Looks like we're on half decent spec. Megane 1.5dcis if you want an auto). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hmmm, tough one really.

theduisbergkid Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Did you get violated by a monkey in a sheep-skin jacket? I'm right aren't I. 'Violated' is rather a strong way of phrasing it, Mac, I prefer 'pleasured'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzbitt Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Car wise - I want to get another toy again... really still want a S2K so think that will be on the list and if not that, then another MR2 turbo to play with on the 18-30 thats not organised by anyone. Quite fancy another short Euro jaunt again like the Monaco one... nudge... nudge... wink... wink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yes, nice touch, came in handy too as it fogged up like buggery after the downpour we had. The reason I asked is that I thought Ford had sole rights to it hence it seemed strange in a Cat. Quite how Mook mistook the screen for an anorak is beyond me!

patently Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Heated screen in a Caterham ?? IVA requirement, all cars must have an effective means of demisting the windscreen. Therefore standard equipment on all Caterhams, apart from the ones that don't even have windscreens, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of Ford parts in the 7... the engine for one. I guess they reached an agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
