Yes i couldnt part with the cup car anyway put to much time and legwork into it and itching to get out on track,love the phase ones and thats BANG TIDY
Body kit needs to stay the way it is. In fact it just wants leaving alone!
Yeh a suprising sale last night.....Originally Posted by Mart
Sold for same price i paid (so not like i was out to make money)
Jason (nebstar) paid me for my red 5.... Sadly when he came to collect it, the sodding thing wouldnt start... & has thrown a hissy fit (coil or something up with the electrics)
He jokingly said he would love the ph1 in a txt yesterday... I said come & have alook & we can sort something out... & sure enough we did...
Jason is a top bloke, loves the ph1 & is a much better owner for it than me....
As for me I will try & finish the red 5 & have that as an occassional road car/track car....
Already eyeing up my next car... But thats blue & modern... Not a 5, still a renault
Well that didn't take long lol
My hissy fit got me a better car imo. Good car needs some time put into it and thats it really. Chris has too many cars anyway,the search for the holy grail continues.
I am glad you like the ph1, reckon i need a tungy in my life...My hissy fit got me a better car imo
best to contact brigsy then.....I am glad you like the ph1, reckon i need a tungy in my life..., i hear a deal can be had...
Had previously spoken to brigsy, to expensive for me... But worth the money he is asking...best to contact brigsy then.....

Refreshing my large spec engine out my old j plate to go in. Washed plugs on 1 and 2 cylinders on this original engine. The engine in it pumps out quite a bit of pressure out the oil filler cap once removed. The carb needs looking at, its been rebuit with new gaskets. The only problem is i dont know if oe jets are in there etc.
Laser tracking -1 done by myself at friends garage, Kent car Kraft on friday. The o/s track rod end was loose. Really like the gaz coilovers, i've had both edition avo coilovers and koni's, and the car feels more grounded with the gaz suspension. Had a good look underneath of the car, can say no jacking dents or rust anywhere. Also no new underseal covering anything up, very happy
!

Had lessons in a Robinson 22 with dual controls fitted. Great fun, that's the closest you will ever get to being a bumble bee.
Wanted to become a heli pilot years ago....... Still like to now really.
Do you get to go out in them?
Lovely car that.
Should do soon as on good terms with the owners over the past few months. £750 pounds an hour for one of the jet engine lesson, but the craft is £330,000 pound and engine builds are a fortune.Yep, that will be a bell ranger then....lovely things.
