Maybe everyone has hibernated.

Mind you Carl G hasn't posted a what car for a while, and I haven't
found a rare but cheesey peice of Japanese tat for a few weeks, oh and
Pete was in CZ, so there go the main posts.

Whenever I come in for a look, I usually see that the posts are buried
somewhere deep in a thread where it ceased having a point and is usually a
scrap between two people who have long forgotten the original thread.

I don't see the point in contributing to that kind of stuff.

S'not exactly the time of year we think about modding cars....

Hah ! as if anyone actually talks about modifying on here

I went out in the Locost on Saturday around 11pm for 20mins, came back 2
hours later with a big grin on me face[1].
The MOT is due later this month and I need to find/make some bushes for the
shocks, last year I bought some polys and cut 'em down to fit, but they've
not worn well at all and there's no way it'll pass until it's fixed.

My tintop's fooked at the mo', it runs perfectly but starting sometimes cues
clouds of blue smoke, with it being n/a I'm hopeful of it not being the
turbo and it being valve oil seals

I'm also on the lookout for a cheap 4-door diesel, I can't really expect the
missus and the sprog (due in Feb) to clamber in the back.
It's gonna upset me though, because for absolutely no reason I can work out,
I love this car like no other car I've owned, I usually get bored within a
few months of buying a car and start subconciously shopping for another, but
not this time, weird....

[1] At least the missus was in bed, last time I went AWOL in the car, I set
off to ASDA for milk, ended up 80miles away at the coast. Dead happy she
was....

Decided on a TVR. Probably in January. If all pans out (knowing my luck it
probably wont).

SD1 is still slowly progressing - just ordered a mod for it. Woo!

Only if you're one of the pugilists.

That mate who bought the MX5 has decided to get a hard top.

They're cheap eh ?

Not.

He's paying £300 for one painted to suit , but it's in Essex which ain't
exactly Kirky, but I guess a hardtop is a good idea.
156 now for sale, looking for MK1 MX5 in red :-)

Yay MX-5s. The one true car. Red ones go faster. I've fitted new
Mazda pads to mine today. Also cheap. Not. Like quite a lot of things
on my car.

£300 for a hardtop is cheap, especially if its a real Mazda one. I
think they were a grand or more new or as an option. ~£500 still seems
to be the going rate round these parts.

£500 is also the going rate for a new fully fitted hood. Mk1s rust
badly at the rear of the sills and rear arches.

Good luck.

Friggin' Escort is taking forever to restore. It'll be worth it when
it's done, but it is taking a long, long time to sort. Had to go to CZ
to give the chap some money to buy repair panels - luckily with a Mk2
they're pretty much all available, but hopefully it'll be sorted before
2010.
