Lol, you've seen it, that was my birthday present to myself :D

10yo car most of its life spent near the sea and all that...........even Corrado's corrode over time :wink: Ok pardon my ignorance, but I'm assuming it's mostly underbody rust then?

Rusty bits? I'm confused...

I've heard Exaltos are really expensive, is this the case?

Pretty sure they dont do them in 205/50/15's anymore though.. :cry: I'm sure I seen that size still available somewhere, can't remember where though :( Luckily, for me anyway, I am on 17s right now, and they do 205/40/17s, so in that sense I'm ok... but I feel for ya :(

In that case, you will have been forgiven by the "Almighty One" :lol:

The family car is a 1998 Mazda 323 (only 1.5 :roll: ), and about 2 days ago, it started acting all funny. The CD Player went off without a warning, and at the same time the time wouldn't show up, I havent been able to get the CD player working again and the time still hasn't shown up. The alarm system was set up that after switching the "Ignition II" position, the central locking automatically locks after about 15 seconds, but since this CD Player business has happened, the central locking thing doesnt happen either. The heater controls are not like the C where there are dials, they are all buttons which light up when pressed, and before this problem, the button that was lit up before switching the car off, is the same one to stay lit up when the car is switched on again. But since this has happened, the button always reverts back to the "front window demister" being selected. I have checked the "Radio player" fuse which seems to be fine, but I really don't know what else to check for. Can anyone shed some light on what might be wrong?

Ditto, not heard anything but excellent reviews about Goodyear F1s, hopefully to be my next tyres on the C.

Got one, not cheap but I had to have one so ordered it, and love it!

Ahem... I am paying £940 :(

Is that you Jim? On the right end of the group? It could certainly pass as you. And a good hello to you too :)

And what is the distance from the middle to the end?

But I take it for enjoyment purposes, they are both as good as each other, ie feedback etc etc?

Nice car, is that a bigger spoiler fitted?

What and how much difference is there between the MkI GTIs and the MkII GTIs?

Aw come on guys, at least point me in the right direction if you dont know :(

"sick barsteward" :lol:

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that, that's actually one on my list, if possible the Sport Quattro but I'm trying to be realistic here :-P And the other one I want is the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2, all in good time

Would you rather have the S2 or the UR Quattros? Money and all other things aside of course, just a curious question.

No suggestions anyone?

Well that's a new one eh...

I know AutoStyle do them, it's where I am getting mine from. http://www.autostyle.co.uk/ Expensive but pretty good quality from what I have heard. EDIT: Just checked, they dont them in that exact colour, well not via the website anyway, maybe they might if you call them up. I want that exact combo of colours too so I'm definitely gonna give them a call and see what I can work out. Anybody interested in a group buy from them? Hopefully get a decent discount?

I can't drive up by reversing, I have to drive up front first, so it does make a difference but the front first is where it wont hit the slope if anything, unfortunately.

Recently when I start up (not everytime though), I hear a whirring noise (very quick, almost violently, sorta) fairly low down in front of me, and feel it through the clutch, it happens about 3 or 4 times, last for about 0.5-1 seconds and about 4-5 seconds apart, and this is all before I move. I dont move away until it stops cos it scares the shit outta me when it happens, it's never happened before. Any ideas what it is guys? :?

If possible, do you have higher resolution versions? And would it be possible to send them to me if you don't mind, please? Why do I ask, cos they is hardcore! :D
