Nice looking thing in its original form, thanks for posting that. AK - Dempsy and Makepeace! I was thinking about that as I was reading that, XR3i Cab FTW Although I watched a couple of episodes last year and the show itself was a bit curse word. A bit curse word?? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Eighties cars hooning around docklands pre-Canary Wharf? What more do you want?!

*Edit: you'd get a really, really nice BX TD for that sort of money and have change. Look cool, suspension is both trick and ace, great on fuel and a good one is fantastic to drive. 1.9TD conversion? Same tuning tricks as the Pug already mentioned? (basically just 'turn up the fuel' a bit isn't it??) ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

I hadn't seen the current set-up from the front before, that looks really good. However, the type-4 lights are definitely better. It gives the car a very seventies look. I think the problem with hiding the lights behind grills is the risk that it may end up looking too much like this: ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6sM-lX_rJfA/TIgfbDoyGII/AAAAAAAABpk/FJb6JjzLpl8/s1600/sbarro-mb-gullwing-biturbo.jpg) You need to 'shop it up first.

Look up Evoloutions thread on the 16v mini forum for lots of info on k series turbos... 280bhp from scrappy parts enough to get you intrested? That's more than enough to get me interested!!! Here's the link to the (30-page!) thread: www.16vminiclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3208A 280bhp turbo Metro that looked fairly standard would be ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

2) engine transplants ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Mk3 Fiesta with a 1800/2000 Zetec (would prefer an un-kitted model ) ![](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/craig1010cc/slammed-fiesta.jpg) Sleeper ftw. Mk3 fezzers are currently languishing in chav sh1tt3r limbo (yes, there is the odd minter on the show circuit, but on the whole they're at the 'run into the ground then scrap' stage in their lives).

We've had an unplanned change to the schedule - a '73 Beetle broke down in the road outside so we've pushed it in, got it on the ramp to find out why it's lost drive. Turns out it had stripped all the splines from the rear drum! Bryn is currently at GSF with the guy getting a new drum. Hope to have him back on the road pretty soon then we can carry on with the schedule ;D That should earn you some good ka-rma. I'll get my coat.

We didn't have 'proms' when I left school, but if we had I hope I would have had the self-respect to not go. They're nothing more than a tacky, brash, vulgar display of materialistic one-upmanship; exactly the opposite of the values children should be being taught. Having said that, if I had to go arriving in that Jensen would be ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

I was told the young ones 105e was trashed/scrapped after filming, could be wrong of course. Didn't Vivian smash it into a lamp-post after the bank hiest in the episode where they drive off the cliff while smashing throught the billboard with Cliff Richard on an old Routemaster bus? With SPG asleep on the radiator/bumper IIRC ;D EDIT: thought just occurred to me; turn up at VW meet in Roland Rat's car, and explain to the other attendees that you were going for the 'rat look'.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! I'd guess MGF wheels, but probably the wrong stud pattern! ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) Oops!

I don't like it. I used to like it, but they ruined it when they re-launched it ten years ago. They've tried to make it appeal to everybody, but in doing so it's lost it's edge. It's become a big, bloated parody of itself. I mean the Mini of course. ![](http://www.topgear.com/uk/assets/cms/4fb34940-4c46-4846-a63f-5fcc9963be24/670x377Image.jpg) Yay, Top Gear!!
