ouch! sounds a tad concerning :(

nice - a blackberry too :D

is this the 4*4 blackberry turbo!?

don't refrain....gain!!!

I know of a mystic blue storm which will be being advertised in the very near future PM me if you would like info

it is a bargain wayne!! go & buy it......now! lol lots of very nice bespoke shiny parts on it, extremely well maintained & a class winner how tempted are you m8? pmsl

very cool! impressive company indeed Jim nice to hear a reasonable target price of £4-6K too :D is that a forum car as well, I recognise the number plate but not sure if the starting letter was an N or not....actually, think it was an E? EDIT: no, im sure it was E57ORM on here

if you believe it would be safe & legal to drive a car with the bonnet on its safety catch alone then no offence but it is not even worth the time typing a response to your above reply

it would be an issue for both the driver & general public if the bonnet flipped up & caused the driver to not be able to see a danger to themselves, others on the road & potentially pedestrians im fairly confident the police would have something serious to say about it

I doubt a safety catch would be strong enough to keep the bonnet down when driving along though - wind tends to have a lot of force at speed ;) lol

ha ha good one m8

I believe it is to do with the countries in which they were sold the 'fully open slots' version was for warmer climates & the 'half blocked slots' version was for colder climates kind of like a winter grill & summer grill, where the open slot version lets more air through to the radiator not sure why many UK rados ive seen have the closed version though (which my VR does)

welcome - make yourself at home :)

bargain price! KW suspension has rocketed up in past couple of years GLWS, cracking piece of kit

the bonnet catch was clearly broken as you can see the bonnet it raised

ha ha ha ha

indeed! imagine the potential chaos if they drove down a highway like that

I saw the below when I went for a walk on my break at work. it was parked in a public car park, so must have been driven there & potentially going to be driven back to wherever. I have not edited the registration as maybe someone will know the owner & could help educate them on the dangers it presents to them as well as the general public (admins I can do so If I am breaking any rules etc) It truly does display, IMO, the problem with the country/s dumbing everything down for the lowest common denominator of person how could any sane person feel that this would fix a bonnet issue such that it was safe to drive, even if only temporary.....

very true Jim often, if you let the VR warm up n the drive for a few mins the blowers are warm before starting the journey :) plus, though the leather can be hot in summer a toasty warm bum & back are very welcome from the heated seats on cold days

I tend to switch between the VR & the 1.8 16v throughout the week at present.....often deliberating which one to take as I eat my brekky in the kitchen lol both of mine are very different beasts & I like driving both of them however, despite the VR being much firmer due to the KWV1's (the valver is still on standard suspension & old ones at that lol) I find the VR is much less work. in that I mean in the VR you rarely need to change gear as it will happily sit at 20-30mph in 5th & not give a the slightest grumble when a little power is applied the valver requires quite a few more gear changes I have a 14 mile journey to work which is mostly 30-60mph country lanes & very often can see around 34mpg on the MFA in the VR. I am unsure what the valver MFA reports as sometimes it definitely doesn't report correctly, 99.9mpg I don't think so ;) LOL I do know some people prefer the smaller lumps as they say it gives a more responsive drive but to be honest I don't share that view as my VR has an awesome level of response to any steering input, it is superbly agile around the twisty's & gets the power down very well indeed maybe if I got the valver to a similar state as the VR that view may change but the sound the VR produces will always win lol

sounds about right mine made 209.8bhp with the 263's & BMC im tempted to get it done again now ive got the 2.5" SS with hi flow CAT but it would be a fair few £'s for not many more horses

lol :d

quite right delfinis & well spotted

welcome - looks very nice there are a few white rado's popping up lately is yours a non sunroof version? cant quite tell from the 2nd pic?

very tidy example I like your old G60 too - love a rado in white :D it makes me want to pull my finger out with refurb'ing my eyebrow spoiler too - thanks lol
