    Rescued Jindo puppies from Korea??

    I currently have 8 Korean Jindo puppies mix rescued from a dangerous place so trying to home them and wondered if there are any interest from the UK? Usually they fly to Canada and USA where they are more popular. The most expensive would be their flight and associated costs, we will not make...

    R26, 250 or S2k? For export.....

    Trying narrow down what car to search for when I'm back next year for a while, somehow always drawn back to an RS. I will use it in the UK for 1 year then it'll be exported to South Korea where I will be. These are the current contenders but open to suggestion of anything that's as good as the...

    2014 Hyundai Genesis!!

    After many years, the lack of a RHD Hyundai Genesis is over and available in Aus and UK again. http://www.hyundai.co.uk/coming-soon/genesis I have driven a KDM version for a while and it's a car I highly rate for the right price. The lack of diesel version is probably its biggest downfall but...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

    Tempted by one of these as I need something with decent speed. Wanted to bring a 182 to Korea but it's too expensive so this is the next choice. What do people think of this? It'll be a 2009/10 model with the 2.0 Turbo (210 ps). I'm guessing it's more of a GT than a GT86 type coupe but still...

    200: My old 200 at Spa

    Just going through some vids as I'm bored and thought I'd share. Matt (FMP?) was there as well but different group. Mine was standard and had done around 2k miles at this point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRqci9Rz6b0&feature=share&list=UUduzCB8r3yPvANDI0rmzR7g You can hear the drag...

    Off to look at a replacement.....

    a 1.0 Kia Morning (Picanto). Would like a RS but currently living in Korea which makes non domestic cars expensive. I guess there won't be much overtaking. haha

    G Techniq c4 trim restorer

    Used this on the MINI today with its vast amount of plastic arches and I'm suitably impressed. There was quite a bit of polish residue and it's gone, looks like new. I have used various other products but nothing gives this result. New, non shiny black trim. it might be expensive but it's...

    Owners beware

    I just found this on the 200. 20k miles. What is that? Oh yeah. It's the bonnet striker bolt. Clean paint with no indication a socket has touched it. No idea what happened. Imagine if both fell off!!!

    You think Renault is unreliable?

    Spotted a 2010 jaguar XJ at work today having its pan roof cut out. It only went into the dealer for a infer cooler change when they spotted the roof falling to bits which meant it came back to the factory for a new roof. I don't think I'd be happy with that. Lol

    Pics from Brands Hatch

    Few pics from my friend. I was concentrating on getting as much track time as possible. The E92 M3 I was chasing down had Stoptech 6 pots, 888's and extra 200bhp. Not bad from the 200.:clap: There was a GW200 with bigger rotors and Akra exhaust. I could still brake much later...

    200 Recaros and yellow i.d. pack

    Might be trading the 200 in so could be swapping the recaros and yellow belts for some standard items. The seats are in good condition with just light bobbling on the bolsters which is reasonable for 14k. Would be looking for around £800 for the seats. Are there any real interest for...

    Cold gearbox woes

    It has been happening for a while now but it's getting worse. The box struggles for 1/2/3 when just starting, sometimes take over 30secs to find a gear. The dealer adjusted the linkage but the problem came back 1 week later. Looking to change to box oil to see if it helps. Any other...
