    They don't appear to be selling many, as that's only the second one I've seen on the road!

    Recaro Seats

    I had my seats replaced under warranty, one of them twice as they damaged the passenger side when fitting it! Had the subframes done as well later on when they started to rust.

    Saw the grey 250 that Platinum had the other day, too. Liking them a lot now, but there aren't any at sensible prices yet!

    Another dose of Liquid Yellow...

    Lovely motor, Mr Munky. Are you the fella that removed all the stickers off your R27? If so, any tips?

    Touch up pens for Nimbus

    I've just bought a kit from ChipEx, but it's not cheap at around 50 notes. Have a look at their website and see what you think coz I can supply you with a discount code if you wanna go ahead. The colour you want is called Gris Makaha on there.

    Standard R27 F1 Spec

    Parts that were standard on the R27, but options on the standard car were Recaro seats, MP3 cd player, tinted windows and cup chassis. Only real exclusive was Liquid Yellow paint (plus the decals).

    What car to buy :S HELP

    I test drove the FN2 Civic right before buying the Clio and didn't like much of what I saw. It sounds better and has a bigger boot, but that's about all. It tramlined terribly on B roads, had too little torque to haul along that fat assed body and it had a key AND a start button, which was just...

    I've Joined but I'm a Astra owner

    Being an ex Astra owner myself, I know a fair few VXR owners! Are you on AON or AOC, at all?

    BIG Decision to make ...

    Strange reading the comments on the 250, as I wasn't too enamoured with it either! I found the clutch too fierce, the brakes snatchy and the overall experience a little ho hum, tbh. Nice enough car, but not worth 25 grand.

    Oh dear ;o)

    I test drove 3 NA hot hatches (Civic, Clio and Fester) and the Clio was head, shoulders and most other body parts above the other 2. The ST just felt so slow, but it is very tuneable, unlike the Clio. Seen them pushing out around 215bhp, still NA and that's a 65bhp increase.

    Castle Combe

    I'm sure this one had black rub strips. That means there was at least 5 there yesterday then! Did you spot any?

    Castle Combe

    Can't remember exactly. Just in the general parking area, possibly on the side of the track near the Bobbies chicane.

    180BHP Ford Fiesta ST

    Auto Excess is full of ****. They're a bunch of fantasists who've only read the first chapter of their "How To Photoshop In 3 Easy Lessons" book! Anyone can see that is just a normal Fiesta with Focus RS bits badly grafted on. Why would Ford make an ST that looked like an RS? :001_unsure:
