Shuv's Racing Blue 200...................

[Pav]

didnt see your car for a week??unusual..:excited:

i've got the same smearing issue with 'soft99 luxury gloss spray wax'. especially on the hood. even applying the product not on the car directly, but on a microfibre cloth. never thought about using a sponge applicator. maybe try that next time. i've read somewhere that using a waffle microfiber cloth helps, in stead of a longer haired one.

i finally found a dutch retailer who sells 'bouncer's done and duster QD'. going to try that tomorrow (together with carpro's perl).

So its a replacement for a wax/sealant, but spray on? Forgive the confusion!

The whole QD / wax / sealant thing is now so intertwined - it’s hard to know where one stops and another starts !

Basically - I think this is a pretty hardy / long lasting gloss enhancing ‘product’. The glass / silicone / nano technology is what should make it..,

Goes on and needs applying a bit like H2GO to be honest.

Really looking forward to seeing the beading on this one. The gloss seems to be ‘unreal’....

Marvelous results as always my friend.

Must be so nice to open that garage door and see your pride and joy after a period away. Especially in the condition yours is in!

Wow, long time! I'm sure she will and then it will be all the fun becoming reacquainted

That’s a fair amount of time Shuv. Did you get a runaround for you and your boy?

I really wanted to have bought something this month Ben. But to make sure i have plenty in reserve in the normal savings with having a family, and being able to afford a cooker etc etc if it all goes tits-up....i'm going to do next month now i hope. Hope as in finding the right car mainly. He's only had 15 lessons - so no great rush; apart from really wanting to garage mine now.

182 doesnt look like it's coming off as a joint car. Might have to do this and then get another myself. If we (The wife i mean) don't go crazy-crazy in New York at Christmas it's still possible i might have enough left-over from that fund for the track-car.

Looks like the boy will be getting a 1.0 Corsa. Group insurance 1 and the cheapest we can find for the year is £1600. You can imagine a 182 !

Car looks fantastic mate it's so clean, I've finally done in the house and time to show my cars a bit of love, the Clio is minging at the moment, hasn't seen a product in a month! Not like me at all, big service coming up, all belts, pumps etc and the rear calipers look like they might be having a hissy fit so I'm going to referb them myself! Going to spray them all yellow too when they are off as I like a blue and yellow combo

We need pics of your handy-work on the house. Seriously

Cheers for comments on the car. It’s looking so good: in the last hour I’ve found a ‘daily’ I’m going to look at tomorrow to save mine any more winter misery....

Wow ! Big plans and a fairly big bill for you my friend. After spending money on the house - I suspect a mere belt change etc and a brake refurb will feel like chump-change.

Have you got a progress thread ? Great time to start one (Before all this work) if not.

Now. Seriously. House pics

 

[sevenfourate]

Not quite how i'd planned it in an ideal World, but en-route to getting a 182 everyday / Track-car for myself - because of not being able to sensibly ensure my son on a 182 - i've instead sorted him out first and got him a set of wheels today. He hasn't passed his test yet; so this gets to be my daily for the foreseeable god help it. Meaning the Clio gets retired for the winter

Only a cheapie; but car, tax and insurance accounted for 2 big ones right quick today......







Plenty of space here for a Meg conversion....or about 5 Superchargers



Roll on some snow, Halfords car-park and a decent hand-brake..............

Cute engine! I think the one of my washing machine is bigger and presumably has more oooomph.

One a more serious note. I guess that's a good decision and enough for a starter actually.

973cc and 3 cylinders of throbbing powah

What an animal!

Bloody hell them seats are BRIGHT!

Nothing some engineers grease won't sort out though

My mum has one of these 3 cylinder Micras. "Powah" is something else but it's able to move the car at least.

 

[Big Ben]

2 large and you got tax and insurance???
I’d say you’ve done alright

Have you shown him the seats yet

A little over, but yea; i reckon we done alright. Cars pretty darned good for an old-un too.

Yea - he's seen the seats. He didn't find them half as amusing as you and Chris obviously do......

Trying to convince the missus that this is what we need for our boy.
She wants some sort of armoured hummer in case he bumps into anything

Driving me nuts...!

One doesn't looks in the mouth of a gifted horse or how ever that saying goes.

Get him one of these decommissioned Scimitar AFVs or the like. From what I know they're road legal over there?
