CORSA SPRINT 😎

GET IN 😎

Brooklands Garage just outside Saffron Walden still fill for you.

I had a 1.4 Puma and thought it was ACE. Engine was incredibly sweet and revved wonderfully. I thought the power/handling ratio was spot on and it was hugely rewarding to thrash about.

Yeah! A few privateers used to rally them back then as they were far cheaper than the hatch. Nice looking little things I think.

I use one of these https://www.homebase.co.uk/ozito-1300w-1450psi-pressure-washer_p415209 on my Golf GTi. I always leave the washer 'dry' after use, by blasting it out with the water hosepipe disconnected. Usual procedure is to foam the car when it is dry. Leave for five minutes and rinse. Foam again and use those suds to wash, rinsing micro cloth in a bucket of clean warm water as I go. Rinse again. Dry with old bath towels. I don't bother hardly ever with car shampoo now, just the foam. Sometimes I use a wheel pre-clean product, but in all honesty I don't see a benefit that makes me find them value for money. If you are planning to wax, then stick some washing up liquid in the foamer bottle for the first pass as it gets shot of the old wax coating nicely. Cheap Halfords wax is pretty good, as is the polish - which I might use once a year.

Any idea what football ground that is? Looks like Celtic versus Hearts and judging by the size of that stand, I presume Celtic Park.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, you kill me Greavesie etc.

That's my neck of the woods and that road surface is bloody terrible and has been for years. It is the road that 'should' tempt visitors from the Audley End estate to pop into Saffron Walden but it resembles the aftermath of the 'Highway of Death' from the 91 Gulf War FFS.

If I wasn't such a mature individual, I would quote that and replace 'wedding' with 'cock'. Fact is I simply have not time for such shilly-shallying.

I drove from Swindon to North Essex Friday afternoon and set the AAC to 60 (50 on the M4 roadworks). Car returned 51.8 mpg for the trip. That's a 2016 Golf GTi - I thought that was bloody decent.

I saw a Merc AMG G63 being given the full beans the other day, in the wet. Seriously quick thing.

Yeah, that's a nice place.
