r.welfare Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The US-spec Audi 100 (5000?) on a Q-plate is IMPROBABLY COOL. But I am drawn to the Rover 200 on Revolution 5-spokes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 There was some very nice stuff there, will add a couple of my piccies when I get around to it but highlights for me had to be A plate Prelude, proper shitey condition XR3 and Renner 9 Turbo.

Mr Lobster Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Here be pictures Bugger. You wait ages for one R4 van and then two turn up! Thought I would be unique such is the rarity of R4 vans so imagine my surprise when we found a twin! Also went to Tatton Park Classic Car Show on the Saturday. Which was rubbish to be fair and way too expensive to get in but what else should I expect, wasn't much there of great Autoshite interest though these ticked a few boxes... Nicely shitey Bedford CA - For Sale as well Simca, cluttered by awards and other tat Manta. Very nice! Something quite wrong about this. You know they just wanted to weld up the doors, paint a confederate flag on the roof and shout YEEE HAAA but probably didn't 'cos that sort of behaviour doesn't go down that well in Knutsford.

r.welfare Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 OOF! I had a Prelude the spit of that, it was a GR8 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Those Preludes do look GR8, but do they have the same fingertip-light PAS as other '80s Hondas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I don't recall it as finger-tip light - certainly it was meatier than the G-reg Bluebird I owned prior to it. Not that that is saying much - you could sneeze and put a Bluey onto the other side of a central reservation, no bother. My memories are of a fantastic revvy twin-carb motor, sweet 5-speed gearbox, and crazy push-button controls for the heater. Plus a sunroof that slid but didn't tilt. And you can sleep in the boot if you are drunk enough. I traded mine in on a 2-year old Civic in 2000, it's probably long since become landfill now, more's the pity. It wasn't even rusty round the sunroof and rear arches like most of them were/are. This photo was taken the day I traded it in - the crap quality due to those pre-digital camera times. Started my appreciation of Hondas, I've had 4 now including my wife's. Putting my Honda anorak on, the alloys on mine are the correct ones; the car above has 2.0i-16 rims. I'd love a 2.0i-16 one day. EDIT: I was greatly amused by the "Mr Tourette" signwriting on one of those R4 F6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I razzed about in an '88 Civic for a while and it was great fun apart from the overly light steering. I guess the Prelude being a 'sporty' model got a weightier set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I whizzed in to RR08 briefly on Sunday. Absolutely splendid. Even the Mrs was impressed by some of it. Had I known so many of us were there -we could have met up -exchanged insults etc. Mmaybe next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Did you get a shot of the Simca's best end? I can't honestly say I've ever knowingly clapped eyes on an estate before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
