    pu11y's Nimbus 197

    Overtaking on the left is compulsory across the world?! It's not like normal GB road driving because otherwise people would get confused if they tracked anywhere else in the world..

    Afternoon all! Blue 197 in Reading

    Hahaa nar definitely wasn't me as I'd remember that. My girlfriend lives near Bracknell though so Im down the A329(M) all the time. Yeah the lift off is pretty neat, can get quite alot of rotation in the car for turn ins! And i was looking at going Castle Combe on Monday as it's close but...

    Bored of the 197 ( But will probably keep it. Because they are awesome )

    It's probably because you've got 600 posts on the forum in a month. Aka you never drive it ;)

    European Road Trip

    This trip cost me a total of 450 quid ish. 60 for ferry. Car camping is free. Fuel is about 300. Food is about 50 quid and two ring laps is 40 quid. Well worth it! I advise getting a good sat nav and lots of water for brushing teeth etc ;) I was on a full set of Nankang NS-2Rs and Jamie on...

    Newbie in Newcastle!

    Yeah I agree to an extent that there can be issues that arise. But, and a big but, these cars are coming up for almost 10 years old. And as such, in 10 years they could be maintained and looked after, or not shown a service and scrapping through MOTs etc. Therefore it comes down to doing your...

    Yeah when you dont look at the actual car before sale :thumbsup: Welcome buddy, do your research and don't just jump at the first one you see otherwise you could have a shakey experience as others have eluded to.

    Gordan the Gordini

    27k as a graduate with 2 jobs. So you mean 20k as a graduate with a graduate job right.. Living at home will help though but that is alot of miles. Especially to put on a clio with an engine swap. I wouldny touch it personally once youve racked all the miles up. If you could get a cheap daily...

    Anyone tried washing their seatbelts?

    Just do them in the car. Pull them all the way out. Use washing line pegs to stop them retracting. Abit of washing powder in a bucket. Leave them to soak in the hot soapy goodness. Then scrub them. Job doneee.

I'm back in two weeks before the Ring trip, reckon you could give me a hand with the drilling..? On the UJ front...

    COBRA or SCORPION?

    Cobra are 'new' to the MK3 game as far as im aware. I've only seen a video recently and it did seem to be abit deeper than the tinny/raspy scorpion which I'm not a fan of.. I'd love to hear one in person though..

    Deaks Nimbus 197

    Replacing the old wheel was harder than I thought to get out. The technique I went for incase anyone else wants a go is to unclip the retaining clip when the wheel is upside down, rotate the wheel 180 degrees and then whilst applying pressure upwards on the clip with one hand, pulling the airbag...
