    Quick hello

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    As i have now officially joined i thought i would say hello and introduce myself.

    My name is Carl, i am 20 and im from Co Durham.

    I currently own a Ford Focus RS, Renaultsport Clio 172 and i have just bought to restore a Renault 5 GT Turbo.

    Photos of my cars

    RS - Circa 330bhp



    Clio - not sure on power, should be around 240bhp





    5 - Standard

    I havent driven the 5 yet so cant comment on that.

    The clio on track, the Focus on road.

    With the clio being so track focused its not very nice/fun to drive on road.

    He's from Bishop marrow, you got a photo of my pile of spares? post it up he might see something he needs

    Welcome Mr Barron, let me know when it arrives, I could pop through and have a look at it for you see why its not starting.

    Post up more info when you get it such as, is it turning over? do you have a spark? and we might be able to help over the web

    Hi Ashy,

    I am from Bishop Auckland

    I should get it by the end of the week. I may take you up on that offer. The only thing is the car will be located in boro. Could throw you some petrol money if you wouldnt mind Would be good if you could check it over and see what you think too as i have no idea about these cars.
