  1. Top shiting! Bargain price too.
  2. Aaah, it's got that new server smell. Thank you for the work you put in.
  3. Nobody checked my ticket at all, they just took a look at the pass and pointed me towards Mayfair!
  4. ECKSNINETY No MOT though, so be prepared for work. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1802611806918468
  5. Nice! Is that the ex-Petrolblog one? I know he had a black Safrane at one point.
  6. Ooh, is this the photo dump thread? Excellent, allow me to commence dumping... No idea what this car-boat-thing was, but I think I want one: Here we see a rare shot of a Mk3 Granada giving birth to a tiny Renault Vel Satis. Isn't nature wonderful?: Fifty three shades of grey blue: It may be on its first outing, but Rustival is already highly Acclaimed. Two of several in attendance: My mate's Beetle looking a bit lost among a sea of Volvos: Some horrible old wreck that some idiot brought along: ADORED this R9... Some areas of the car park could almost be a scene lifted directly from the 90s: Daewoo Nexia Belmont saloon. Bestill my heart! My 216's ancient ancestor: Metro saloon. A bold attempt, but maybe for the best this one never made it past the prototype stage. Was still cool to see: 4wd Mini thing: The future Triumph that never was: The S.S., before some poncey-tached Austrian gimp ruined the name: Things I never thought I'd do: walk entirely through an MGB: Straight outta the 70s: An overview of the action: All in all, had a great if somewhat knackering day. Caught up with friends, and had a good nosey around the museum which I've been meaning to do for some time. Thanks @dollywobbler and the team for putting it all together. Hopefully we'll see Rustival again next year? I do hope so, I've started a sticker collection now and I want to keep it going...
  7. I've managed to sort out the Rover's interior woes and its intermittent low-rev cough (amazing what a set of plugs and leads will do!) so I'll be bringing that.
  8. Decided that despite its various issues, I'll be taking the Rover 216 to Rustival this weekend. Only trouble is, most of the winter it's been used for (often wet) tip runs and not been used much inbetween. And although it's scruffy, the interior has literally become a health hazard... mould, stains and sharp bits galore. Had a day booked off work today, and ended up spending around 5 hours going through the whole interior with various cleaning products... actually quite chuffed with how it came up! Didn't come up 100% clean, some of the marks were stubborn, but given I don't have an extractor or a drill brush I think I did pretty well. Cleanest it's been in ages, and I don't get an itchy throat when driving it anymore! Just a shame no amount of cleaning products will sort out its exterior.
  9. Ah, the infamous Shepshed collective. Often wondered what the deal with those is. There seems to be some rotation, so there must be SOMEONE who knows.
  10. Found it, it's here: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/368525566006493
  11. 'kinell, that's an interior and a half! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1646768542730304
  12. I'm detecting some slight* oil fouling on my Rover's #3 sparkplug...
  13. Pre-facelift Saxo Mk1... don't see too many of these now. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/365727439720417 "Car has been used for decorating" You'd probably have been better off using a paintbrush, M8.
  14. I see, thanks for clarifying. That being the case, would there be any way to change my ticket type from exhibitor to visitor? Could I cancel my exhibitor ticket and re-purchase a visitor one? I do love the all-inclusive policy you have, but my own personal feeling is that if I can't get one of my shite cars there, I'd much rather my exhibitor space went to something a bit more interesting than a 2020 SEAT Arona.
  15. It's looking increasingly likely I'll be taking the modern, so I might well forego filling out the form and park in visitor parking.
  16. Ah, the good old QX... so anonymous, this was literally the best strapline the advertisers at the time could muster: No, seriously... I'd still have one, though!
  17. Mazdaspeed Lantis R (aka a jazzed-up 323F for the Japanese market): Ford Escort Cosworth: I mean yes, the rest of the car is very different, but surely there must have been some "inspiration" behind the Mazda's wing design...
  18. Ah yes, the inevitable royal connection. I had to sell a Fiat Uno with a dented front wing for the same reason.
  19. Some friends and I were discussing this the other day, when talking about whether or not to go. I don't think I've seen an event that literally has no restrictions on vehicle type, condition or era. We reckoned it could go one of two ways - either the most diverse show ever seen, or everyone brings their daily and it becomes Tesco's car park. Either way, I'm genuinely interested to see how it pans out, what sort of display the car community produces when given a completely free reign.
  20. Couldn't find any red ones... there's a pink one here though! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256352121920
  21. The vendor looks like they might be quite difficult to find...
  22. Right on my doorstep as well! If only I had the space etc etc...
  23. In fairness, I don't think meeting youtube people is mandatory (I bloody hope not anyway, I'm shit at small-talk), and I imagine there'll be some cars there too. I'm thinking of giving it a go, as it's reasonably cheap and local, and I'm not doing FoTU this year (partly cost, and partly because of how up itself it's become, which is ironic given its roots!).
  24. If you wanted to go for a treble, Suzuki Swift Sport!
