Well, Unfortunately the Calibra is gone :( But on the flip side, i've now gt a family car I'm very happy with and quite surprised I got the deal to be fair. Payed £700 for the Calibra back in October last year, I've run the tax and MOT out and swapped it for this Vectra which was listed for £1500. Plus I got £200 on top as well which I was really surprised to be offered. But at the end of the day, an enthusiast bought it and he said he'll pay what he thinks it's truly worth. So deal done :):):)
Any who, shes a 2001 Y reg 2.6 Vectra SRi. Not 100% of the name of the colour yet lol but I really like it. Absolutely mint interior with no mark at all on the half leather. 96,000 miles with only 2 owners before me (last one had it 7 years)...
Picked up my new runabout the other day, a 56 plate 1.9JTDM Alfa Romeo GT in Lipari Grey with red leather interior. Also has the optional £1500 18" wheel upgrade. Spent 4 hours last night washing, claying, polishing and waxing the exterior. Also cleaned and sealed the wheels. So, here she is! :o
I will be modding her slightly but don't want to go too mad. Plans are:
Give the Interior and engine bay a good going over.
Clean, condition and protect the leather.
Remap
Possibly FMIC
Lower 25mm on Eibach Springs and Koni FSD suspension.
Alfa Romeo 4-pot Brembo Calipers and larger discs.
Alfa Romeo Tax Disc holder.

P.S Girls who drive Dubs are by far the coolist people (not that im biost lol)
About 4 weeks ago when I was rebuilding our garden, I found a semi good size wolf-spider (The big-ass ones you find in the bath that run around like Rooney in the Prem lmao!)
Any way, I thought i'd move him out of the way so I didn't kill it. I put it in a whole on an old victorian wall we have running down the side of the garden. I then fitted a sheet of trellis to the wall a day or 2 later and noticed he built himself a really nice home. So every time i found a daddy-long legs or beetle or fly or whatever, i through it in the web.
Well yesterday was the first time I had seen it in 4 weeks and bloody hell.... It's by far the biggest spider in the wild i've seen in this country. I obviously could get the measure on him lol, but...

Comments???
I thought I would post up pictures of my 1997 Saab 900. So far its mostly stock but I have a good list of mods planned, it keeps changing as time goes on but I think i have finally decided on a few for sure. I have owned this car for nearly a year now, and have taken good care of it, fixing a few things here and there, but now I think its time for the mods.
Few Rust spots on the tip of the bonnet, getting fixed with rest of rust.
Rust on the rear wheel well on both sides, getting patched and painted within the next month.
You can see the rear panel under the passenger light is black instead of the green, thats from when I was rear ended by a jeep and found a replacement part, it will be painted when the rust spots are...
Alright so, I purchased the new (not really new) Saab 900 this past week, just picked it up Wednesday, and let me tell you, fast fast fast!
It is a 1995 900 SE, 2.0T, 3 door coupe / hatch ! The previous owner is a friend I met through Saab events and saablink. He did a substantial amount of work to the car, all of which are very noticeable. The list includes :
-900 transmission swapped for a 1999 9-3 transmission, which is hydraulic versus cable.
-Upgraded shifter linkage, much sturdier
-Stock turbo swapped for larger TD04 turbo from a Saab 9000 Aero
-Cat delete
-Full 2.5inch Flowmaster from cat delete back
-Stage 2 road tune from a genius by the name of Mike D.
-Custom intake piping leading to open air intake
-Boost Guage...
Hello mates, its been long since I last came here, I had an accident, a stove exploded on me and I got projected trough a second floor window, luckily my cordy was parked at the door and I landed on it then hitting the road, I came out of it with quite a colection of broken bones and burns..
So anyway, this is my Seat Cordoba some of you know it already, its an 1.9 SDI engine with low horse power. After te accident the insurance covered it and I put it back to what it was and did a couple of exterior mods, the engine is stock right now.
The thing is that this car was a gift from my grandfather who passed away on last Christmas eve, it means a lot for me even tough is not a fast car, its a car Ill never sale or trade or get rid in any...

This is my old car, a ford Sportka 1.6. Coilovers, 300mm brake conversion, lightweight alloys, a few engine mods, stripped out interior.
This was one fun car to drive. Handleing was insane. Sometimes wish i hadnt got rid:sad2:, but i wanted more power!:toung: It stopped too quick though! Lol

This is my current car. With our lasses ST. Mines the blue one.

When I just got her:
After playing around with white GT stripes first, I settled for these custom Matt Silver ones:
Fitted a MotorCade CAI kit:
Then some engine bay bling:
And I Colour coded the inside of the headlights Matt Black:
Then tinted the rear lights.
You will see I dropped the suspension with a H&R 35mm drop, and fitted Racing Heart concepts Racer Series rims.
Hope you like!!!

A few on here are well versed on the mods I’ve done to the old trusty Volvo ie..hybrid turbo,Nissan skyline R33 uprated intercooler,EGR/DPF delete,rebuit fuel pump and injectors,custom stainless exhaust,methanol injection kit and oil catch can breather system..Results...239BHP and 435ftlb of torque....just added a Wizard of nos nitrous kit..
Well some of you might have seen my car in the other threads.. Here is a reminder of what it used to look like..
She stayed almost standard for around a year, and then at the French Car Show I decided that I wanted to change a few bits..
Here is how she looks now..
You can see for yourself most of the exterior mods.. The wheels have been refurbed and sprayed a colour which is between gloss black and a graphite colour.. I think this works well becuase in dark conditions it looks black, but they shine amazingly in the light.
In these pics you can also see my new 266mm brakes which JUST squeeze under those tiny rims!
She has also been lowered on 30mm Eibach springs just to keep the ride...

Hi guys n' gals hope all are well. Well this time is no exception for me going nuts on a car lol. So first of all, lets recap for those that have forgotten or haven't seen my cars since being a member on here.

Hi everyone been looking at upgrading our current daily driver 08 plate 308 1.6hdi for a while now, and after coming up with a few options we decided an st180 would fit the bill perfectly.
After a good search we took a trip to mansfield yesterday to view a real nice spirit blue with just under 40k, fsh, 12 months mot, hpi clear and completely standard.
As with anything i was expecting the car not to be as good as it was in the pictures, needless to say i was wrong and it was just as good.
Me and the wife both test drove the car as it will be more for her than me as i use the van all week and most saturdays tbh.
We were blown away at just how well it drove and i was actually taken by surprise at just how quick it was as i was not...
Well when I say new I mean new to me. Just picked it up this weekend
Mercedes 300 CE - 24 Coupe Limited Edition
Nice little ride, needs some work doing to it but it seemed cheap enough at £2700.
Guy said it might be a Carat Duchelet but not sure about proving that but never mind.
It will keep me going till I get the Capri finished.
Does anyone here have or know someone who owns the new Nissan GTR?
I really would like to do a photoshoot of one and do a feature on it. If your interested please PM me.
The pulsar is going into storage.. so i can spend some time on this..
just found my best car find to date.. got talking to one of the builders who is doing some work on my house.. He told me his dad had one of them toyota rally cars thats been sitting in his garage for over 6 years. . it needed moving due to him leaving... so i said i would pop round to view it.. you could not even see the car in the garage.. but as soon as it was clear of rubbish.. it turned out to be a UK GT4 90,000 with full service history prior to storage and in the rare colour... He took it off the road due to a cracked rad as he thought he had to import one for japan.. ...Anyway on closer inspection in tured out to being a carlos sainz edition number 2356...
