    Abarth 595 Turismo

    So, it's been a while! Some of you may remember me as the inaugural South Wales rep. I initially owned a 197 Cup but then swapped that for a 182 Trophy before eventually selling up and moving to New Zealand. I'm back on the Welsh Riviera again and I have just placed an order for the...

    MkV Polo GTI

    As some of you may know I moved to Spain to work last year. I'm now back and dying to get back into a performance car. Whilst I was there I had use of a MkV tdi and all I can say is that it was absolutely faultless, so comfortable and decent grunt too. I fancy a change having previously...

    197: Bye bye.......

    :bye2: ...... and it's going. As some of you know I'm moving to Barcelona for at least the next 9 months plus, and I took the decision that I couldn't justify having the 197 sitting around here for that length of time, it just seemed a waste of something that deserves being used regularly by...

    Carbon + Satin black + Nimbus = :)

    Not put any shots of the Clio on here since I added speedys and a few carbon bits. Went up for a blast around the Élan Valley and Aberystwyth mountain roads on Sunday and took a couple of snaps (only iPhone so not the best). I think the carbon bits and speedys complement the grey metallic...

    197: 30k Service

    Within the next couple of months I'll be having the 3 year inspection job done on my cup. Can anyone shed any light on approx how much I should be paying and what the service involves i.e. should I buy oil and / or new plugs in advance to keep costs down? Thanks in advance.
