Continuation from motors chat round 6

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

I have something to drive again

:D:D:D

It's just a loaner from a friend but mobility has been restored. It sucks living in the back arse sometimes. It's a 15 minute cycle to the nearest shop even and probably 1/2 an hour back. Stupid hills :P

Anyway I'm free again. Pics of the car i the morning

Oh I'm in the test Centre now, you always get them jitters that it won't pass.

Just heard that my brake parts arrived for the mopar from the US today!
There's the weekend planned, new front wheel bearings and new brakes (basically the whole assembly on both sides needs to be done).

Also ordered some heatwrap for the exhaust headers that run a little close to the starter for my liking.

There's my weekend planned lol (thanks to some alot of advice from a couple of enthusiasts in my area !)

Different Conlans, but they generally look at me as if I'm dragging dogdirt across the floor if I call in for parts and don't use the tradesmans entrance. You can imagine them pressing the "peasant alarm" under the desk...

I priced RCZ-R alloys at a main dealer today (can't find any online) and they were nearly 4 figures

The first two are VW/Audi replicas. I wouldn't put them near a Pug. To be honest, I wouldn't put them near a VW or Audi either.

Friend of mine just bought this... Looks familiar.

Has anyone from here owned it?

Sad to see how the recession really affected some people, local pub owner who was doing very well back in the Tiger used to have an S5 around 2008, today I just saw him in a base Focus, pub still seems to be doing very well though.

@Sobanek, never saw that one before, you might be thinking of one of the BMWHaus members that had a 528 in the same colour, looks nice though.

I've seen so much of this it's the sad part of the recession. So many decent business brought to there knees mainly the people running businesses that were trying to be honest and straight. As a consequence their cars took a serious hit either being sold or just not replaced. I know people how would have change their car every 2 years and are now still driving 07 cars just can't change them. But then I know plenty of people who are still worth a lot of money but stopped changing their cars so they'd blend in and not stand out so stupid really but it happens.

Lidl car stuff not much but if your looking for wipers, first aid kit, bottle jack, coolant tester.

I used to get stick for driving my Bluebird a couple of years ago. Everyone I knew had a new Merc, Audi, BMW or some such, and the majority don't now, but they still owe for them. I own my car out right now, as a result of not being stupid a few years ago and buying something I couldn't afford. I'd hate to not own anything out right.

Obviously though, the cases of genuine businesses and people going bang is quite saddening.
