Also I'm not going driving, after organising and being on several road trips in the last few years. If you have more than two of you it's an absolute nightmare to keep up with everyone. As one person gets stuck behind a car or a member of public goes in front or let's someone else out and it just f**ks everything up. I will never do that ever again as its more stressful than it's worth. It's like herding drunk sheep.

Sounds an awful lot like a dogging proposition

I'd like to incorporate this into go karting rather than just a car park meet. Let me know if people are up for it and I will organise. I'm a f**king boss at organising stuff.

I'm game. Sounds fun to me.

Merging them would be awesome. Luke what's with the homoerotic borders on your pictures haha

Haha not a chance. Couldn't destroy the 1.7sdi engine in the lupo it's incredible. 75mpg in summer and runs on 70p a litre veg oil 0-60 in 21 seconds though the last time we counted.

I've had a manic week of cars. I'll start with what I discovered earlier in the week. It's exciting news. I was always wondering about whether my car had a boost leak as that's what was suggested at mapping and why I only made 256bhp when the turbo and everything else was easily ready for 300bhp/300ftlb. So I got a boost leak detector and noticed this... 20180221_192332 by dann2707, on Flickr I tightened it further but no joy, still pissing out so there must be something up... more investigation required. I shouldn't actually have this on as this is the OEM recirc valve, I already have a forged dump valve so not sure what the turbo would be doing... 20180221_194819 by dann2707, on Flickr The angle of this makes it look less than what it is, it's actually a huge split 20180221_195149 by dann2707, on Flickr I'm really hoping that was causing me to lose all my power when mapping so when I get the car remapped I will be where I want to be... Next carry thing. I have had loads of people nagging me to see if I will make them some engine tables so I thought screw it, let me source some dead blocks and i'll do exactly that. I haven't properly advertised them at all really and already got reservations on 3 out of 5 so that's cool. Dropping them off for sandblasting on thursday. Stripped them down today. 20180225_125521 by dann2707, on Flickr all the pistons 20180224_171755 by dann2707, on Flickr I'm taking the Corsa for its MOT on Friday, changed the plates and it's made a huge difference. Hopefully this will sell easily but i'm sure it will do as it's on 44k miles, 2 owners, excellent condition all around. 20180224_150026 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180225_133321 by dann2707, on Flickr Then finally... i've bought another 182 and got an absolute bargain. It's tatty in places as the picture shows, it needs a respray on the side where it's been scuffed and the bumpers need a respray. I'm not sure how much that's going to set me back though but I can do it in due time. The idea on this one is to keep it completely and utterly standard. Factory fresh standard. It's done 106k miles, belts and dephaser done 3,000 miles/3 years ago so it's not due for another 2 years. Loads and loads of mechnical work done to it throughout. The owner went through everything he has done to it which has filled me with confidence. It's the full cup packed version (wider track, spoiler etc) and has a few other little mods such as Honda s2000 aerial, blue interior LED conversion and a subtle kenwood under seat sub, rs200 rear badge. 20180223_153755 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180223_150519 by dann2707, on Flickr La scuff 20180223_150511 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180223_150455 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180223_150445 by dann2707, on Flickr Needs a new door ideally 20180223_150504 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180223_150437 by dann2707, on Flickr This will be me secondary daily driver / car for blasting around at on weekends when i'm not in the Lupo. Talking of the Lupo, I had a bump in that and that's been written off so I will be buying that back soon when I hear back from the guy who crashed into me's insurance. Exciting things are happening

Talking of awful cars, my new whip is such a long boi. Gorgeous inside though

Ha beat you by £30 and mines a 53 plate eequally as shit though. Absolutely awful car.

How much did you pay? I need to sell my corsa

Or rusevelt haha

Mike's right that does look really gud. Gud write up too

New toy on the way. Beyond excited.

We don't get that British bad teeth image for no reason. That's awful though. Every 6 months for me.

I meant as in you get head over heels after one date

I swear this happens to you once a year or something

Well i've done a fall back in love with Boris, perfect timing ready for valentines too... I swapped the clio over with the Corsa as I needed to fix the handbrake on it, so out Boris went and I figured i'll give him a wash whilst he's outside. Really glad I did as i've come away smiling so much and realised that he's now at a level that i'm really happy with (the spoiler has helped massively) Exterior pictures 20180204_164108 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164113 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164121 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164146 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164159 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_165640 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164210 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164215 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164251 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164312 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164348 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164523 by dann2707, on Flickr Theres a hole in the floor that needs welding up asap. It's from where the pedal box used to be. 20180204_164600 by dann2707, on Flickr Engine bay, i've got a clean bottle to go in but the one you see is on loan until I flush the coolant out etc. The heatshielding is all removed ready for the exhaust too. 20180204_164703 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164719 by dann2707, on Flickr 20180204_164728 by dann2707, on Flickr I'm just waiting for the exhaust to turbo flange to be laser cut at the moment, then I need to sell this Corsa i've got then I can get the exhaust made and it's happy boostings from there.
