double-6s

Dunno

Relatively easily available I reckon mate.

I think they will go on - I believe Phatvr6 had some rather wide 18's on his rado. Personally I think it may look a bit wheel-heavy.

Lol! Yeah I wouldn't dare to try and make a profit on it - god forbid anyone doing that ;) To be fair I've spent a few quid and a few days on it so I'd obviously want my just reward.

Now on standard speedlines though.......

Hi I was just wondering what people think the following car may be worth. Just trying to look at all my options.... 1993 VR6 Rado I think its midnight blue pearl? Body work is very good - couple of very small surface rust patches on the base of tailgate. 81k miles. History up to 50 something then mot's after. Quite a few receipts etc. 12 months mot. Standard black and blue cloth interior. Very good condition. Electrics all working - mirrors playing up but would be sorted if sold. Engine and gearbox feel excellent - it pulls really well and the gear change is very nice - but it needs an oil seal repacing - not sure which but I think it's a bit of a pain. Crank shaft oil seal? What do you think it's worth? Was a Cat D in 2001 btw - front end. My mechanic had a look and said it's been very well repaired and is in good condition. Front end looks minty as it's been painted.

My battle scars are picked up 'in action' rather than in the carpark.

:) Good answer. I totally agree with that mate tbh. The country is on a downhill slide. And yeah I agree that generally kids are lamo's who can't wipe their own a*se let alone walk/cycle to school these days! I'm proud to say my kids (both girls aged 4 and nearly 7) are not from that camp. Both me and the ex try to instill some proper old school values into them in the hope that they don't turn out to be uneducated chavs. TBH if I didn't have kids in this country i'd move to holland in a flash. I'm sure they've got their problems out there but at least you can pretty much do what you like when you like and............ hang on.....rant alert! Over and out :)

I see what you're saying matey, but why is it ok to make allowances for one group of people for whom getting out of the car and into the supermarket is difficult, but not another group? I.e. disabled folk and parents respectively. All or nothing imo :) you could say the same for all owners of 2/3 dr coupes etc then,as most 2/3dr versions of cars have longer doors so making access harder also.........parents don't always have to take their kids along afterall,if its the nuclear family of say Man,Woman and 2.4 children then whats wrong with 1 of them staying in the car with the 2.4 kids or at home..........obviously I know thats not always workable but this nanny state we have nowadays where kids no longer get smacked(not abused but physically punished) are making things worse in all walks of life.......its also amazing now how as soon a couple start a family they start looking at buying 5/7 seater ppl carriers[/quote:61af9] What? Doors? Leave one adult and the kids in the car? Lol. A very practical solution there mate - 'you stay in the car for an hour whilst I do the shopping'! Yeah right! Load of old cobblers you're spouting there fella. Pure crap :) And how the fek did that get onto smacking kids!!!! Bit of a Mail reader by any chance?

What's that supposed to mean? Got a decent point to make fella?

Thats ok then! Think you'll also find that disabled people didn't have the same rights as they do now, when you were a kid mate. Doesn't mean it should stay that way does it? It's called progress.....

You're such a nice man Karl :) You can get a disabled badge for being diabetic!

Cool cheers dude. I already have leather so could possibly even make a profit! How much are TT seats then?

Mate if you knew me or my car you'd realise how irrelevant that question is. Rattles like a mo fo - can't hear it cos of the engine/music :)

Nice. I do like the badgeless look. Mean :)

So it's ok to need more convenient parking if you're disabled but not if you've got 3 kids with you? Hmmm.... Double Standards Thats horse sh*t. I'm not saying anything about disabled eligability btw. But why shouldn't a parent with kids, push chair, etc get a bit of favourable treatment too? I think it's a good idea.

Yep definately. They'll more than likely tow you as well as you're causing an obstruction :(

Unfortunately I have now sold all my limbs, my liver, kidneys and big toes mate. Nothing left to fund any more toys with :) They do look lovely though. One day......

The young ones started that! There were some wierd frames included in all the episodes.

I've just ordered a set of H&R RSS Clubsport Coilies (the hardest ones) which should be here in a couple of weeks, so I'll post up my findings when they're on. Reckon they might be a bit on the hard side but thats good imo.

But are the seats any bigger mate. I can get my kids in the back at the moment but I'd struggle if the seats were any bigger front to back if you see what I mean?

Nice :)

Many many moons ago I worked at gatwick airport doing security including the car parks. If we found someone in a disabled bay or across 2 spaces we used to get the little wheel things out (bogies?) and move their car to a completely different part of the carpark :)

Yeah doesn't look too bad eh? Are the TT seats much bigger than the rado ones? Is there even less room in the back with them in?
