Isn't it great?

I'm contemplating a conversion job and running it on vegetable oil. I could pick it up for 70-odd pence a litre in Tesco.

I think veggie oil has gone up to over a quid a litre now

But I killed it at Santa Pod doing the quarter mile in third gear lol so now Im down to a v plate pug 306 1.6 big difference in power , Looking at upgrading now to a new Subaru Legacy.

Looks like a mate of mine's managed to bend his MK2 Golf, if anyone happens to have any front end bits (preferably in maroon) in the West Mids/North West England/North Wales area could they PM/email me?

It's a long shot but I might as well start here

Have you/he tried Edition38, Club Gti, or any local VW forums? Usually all an aladdin's cave of spare parts!

A Merc B200SE 7speed Auto Oil Burner for me does 50mpg however I drive it and I got me a Pug107 2tronic Auto for when I have to go into town (man thats a crazy box of cogs! but what fun to drive), hopefully £0 congestion charge for the Pug in October.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll pass it on

On another note, WTF can't I find my balljoint seperator? Looks like I'll have to get another one, requiring another 20-mile drive to the motor factors...

I thought id start a thread about peoples cars...

ive got a 1994 Rover Mini 1275 with deepdish alloys, sportspack arches, rc 40 exhaust system, hi-los and other bits. Im thinking of making a mini with a 16V 2L Vtec next year but its unlikely.

Toyota Avensis 2.0 D4D T Spirit - nicest car I've ever driven

My best was a 12.8 @ 110. It was my first time at the strip though so hope to improve next time!

Not too bad at all, I've never taken a car up the strip myself, I'd probably burn the clutch out

I must admit i have had a varied and shocking car history. Before I came to work in the education IT environment, I wokred for a local garage who were a Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Citroen fanchised dealer.

Being a car nut, this was a dangerous place to work. I was well placed to buy cheap cars and so I did .

In 4 1/2 years I owned the following:

95 M Reg Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Merit 3Dr
00 W Reg vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Breeze 5Dr
00 X Reg Seat Leon 1.9 TDi SE
03 03 Discovery Td5 GS 7 Seat
04 04 Jaguar X-Type 2.0D SE Saloon
05 05 Mazda RX-8 230 Coupe - An awesome car. Shame a bout the fuel consumption!!!!!

I'm currently running a 57 Reg VW Golf GT Sport 2.0TDi DSG 5Dr and last month I picked up a Rover 420 TD as a runner (A bargain for £500) to save the miles on the Golf.

I always wanted a Jag S-Type R 4.3 V8 & 400BHP. The best fun ever Sadly I could never find one that I could aford

[gshaw]

My 2 motors and major source of £££ drain :P
