I saw a Mk4 Cortina estate. The owners do seem to be venturing out now that the worst of winter is (hopefully) over.

saw a triumph stag. but more importantly, i saw two estelles. one stripped out, roll cage, bucket seats, fibre glass, doors, bonnet, boot, windows. unfortunately its 130bhp monster engine went bang so it is just running a standard skoda engine with a few tricks. although having fuel problems and it goes flat about 4,000rpm.   now the other estelle i saw, i LIKED! Lowered on standard wheels painted black, a brand new webber and ashleys, and road cam. Should of heard it- you could hear the air being sucked into the carb! ;D ;D ;D full round body kit, incredibily nice. there is a chance it is for sale, anyone interested let me know!   (it now has a rear louvre)  (this was before it was lowered) Oh, and did i mention my car came out of storage for it's MOT today?! ;D ;D ;D  if you'd like to see these skodas, and more, then get along to a North-East section meeting! |

Haven't seen much so far this year... but as the weather improves, so does the number of cool cars about... one of the advantages of living a stone's throw from silverstone  There's a nice F40 local to me, as well as a Delta Integrale and a gorgeous Ur-quattro. Roll on Spring/Summer! ;D |

Praise the lord, the fugging sun is here at last. After 3 weeks of dark-greyness where the temperature has never cracked zero and more snow every other day, the last few days have been sunny, warm, bright – fugging champion. I had forgotten what sunny weather was like in France. At last I am gonna be able to crack on with the fleet. This week it’s the front suspension on me 205 diesel chugga (new shocks, strut bearings and lower arm bushes), and at the weekend I’m going to do the clutch on my 929 wagon. Yee-haaaa!
