    Brassoed the fogs



    Nothing to do here

    Re: Raffle car phase one

    did the phase 1 cars all only have a drivers adjustable wing mirror ? , seem to remember my mates one many years ago having an adjustable one passenger side but like most it had been modded before he got it so may have been an addition

    Yeah all the early ones were drivers side only...Some of the later D plate cars had them fitted to both sides.....The old skool N/S mirror is a funny loolong thing !

    Yes still totally standard, including boost. Its not done hardly any miles since I had it, I went for a day out around north Wales with gibbo last year, then took it out on boxing day because it was a nice day, other than that it hasnt stopped raining. It's probably done about 200 miles in total.

    I have a tungy 5 as well, with bigger booost etc, so the way i see it is theres no point putting unnessesary miles on the red one, i can just keep it for days out and meets things like that.
    Glad you like anyway

    I thought I handed what I had over to the club when I sold it but I was moving house at the time. Nothing has popped up since but Ill keep an eye out.

    Ive got pics from when we rebuilt the carb and my for sale pics which turned out pretty good. I try and look some stuff out for you - may have some other ones too.
