george_seamons Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 They weren't overly, but fortunately the standard S3 ones are worth a reasonable amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 oooooooooooh, a forum about bikes, with a car thread. I'm sure I used to spend a lot of time somewhere similar Hey folks. Long time no see. Hope all is well with everyone. As you've seen above, I went munting on Saturday with Tarty Adam and AP. Many funs were had! Then later on we got a bit bored, so went to the beach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Not really into the vag stance thing but I've just finished putting some coilovers onto my mates 55 Passat Estate. Add his 3SDMs and some stupid stretch and it makes for a pretty cool looking family bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's been at least a month sat on axle stands, today I finally sorted one of the components I needed to get her back on all fours... Booking her in to FCM for the other side, can't be arsed to do it myself, plus they'll be doing the front geo anyway. Progress is being made, hopefully it'll all be good for the track day. Also, couldn't believe how easily it started after being sat for that long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hope you get it back up and running soon! We need a mini tf car meet before the track day for a run out or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Worst case scenario I'll just come up in the Golf and not drive. That will massively suck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Really fun drive at Three Sisters today, I f**king love that MX5! First session was cut short by some dude in an MR2 who nosed it into the barriers at the fastest part of the track, second session was full length though and a load of fun. Went the fastest I've ever been round there (lapped almost everyone who was in our 10 lap session) and just seemed to have a really good feel for the car. Was able to get it rotating in certain corners much better than I've been able to before, and generally seemed to have more control and sense of what was going on with it. I was a bit sketched out about doing it as I hadn't driven that car for a while due to illness then being in Portugal, but it ended up being well worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Love my car. Out on a drive now round some of the back roads round Lincolnshire while visiting my dad and it's been smiles the full way. For a 1600 it's such good fun!

HippY Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) guys, I need your help I will go to Italy for a few days and I will rent a car, I am just not sure which one. I will go on a few trips around Italy ( less than 3 hours drive probs) and I will use the car for like 4 days Options are : Ford Fiesta and KA Opel Corsa Fiat 500 Renault Clio Smart forTwo Renting it for 2 people travelling light personally I would logically choose the Fiesta, as it seems to be the best, but I would love to have a weird and wonderful car like Fiat 500 or Smart I drove a Corsa, (newer) it was okay, Renault clio... I do not know, I am not a French car lover what do you think which one should I go for? they are around the same price Edited March 20, 2016 by HippY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'd go for Fiesta or Clio. The others are whack. Unless you're a hot young woman, in which case the 500 is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC12345678910 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) This is the funniest vid I've watched in a while...And it pretty much somes up the ordeals of working on pretty much anything mechanical - bikes, cars, motorbikes, my dad's '96 sprinter van...as well as cheap off brand crappy tools and mates taking the piss. As I said, I find it very funny, but it's very sweary, so you might someone come in going "what are you watching?" Give it a look. It's pasted in massive and I can't resize...

Most places are just 'ford fiesta or equivalent' which usually means something even more sucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
