Soem are suggesting the GTA was K-series... but it was only A-series as I remember it. Or was there a K-series version too in the mid 90s? I did worse than a GTA :roll: I owned a Metro turbo for a wee while in the late 80's... worse still, it was the all-white model (wheels, bumpers, etc) AND, if t...

Elises at BTCC KH on Sunday

I spied a red S2 parked on the hill, and then later in the huge queue to leave, and also what looked like a dark purple S2 also waiting to leave, both near 'Carlube' I'm willing to bet that no one saw me at all since I was parked pretty much as far from the circuit as possible in the car park on the...

I must say, the stand looked mighty impressive, not even out of place opposite that ridiculous Vauxhall outfit! I was the guy with your Elise tee on who didn't come over to chat cos you looked mega busy on Sunday ;) Was gonna pop round later, but we ended up woring our way around the track and never...

Wow, that Chavalier looked pretty damn dangeous, still I like the idea of 2 of them obviously buying the same car for a 'race' on a hot hatch day. Shame that guy had to be a fool about it!

My neighbours are all fine, a woman a few doors round has a bike so obviously it's super loud compared to the Lotus, and no one moans about that. Mind you, there are plenty of Heinz Family Size spec Corsas and the like around here so I don't exactly have the loudest car. People do like to park in my...

The cold level is supposed to be on the MIN if you fill to MAX it will drop to MIN. Leave it at MIN and see how much lower it goes ... Cheers, Robin :) It's been at Min for a few days now and I haven't put coolant in it since last week. There has never been any spunk and the oil level hasn't shifte...

I'm sure somewhere had an JagXJ220 as a police car back when it was the fastest production car on the planet. Might have been a publicity stunt as well mind.

Tayside police had/have a BMW M5 though, that would have cost more than a real police Exige surely?

Anymore? We can do it this weekend it only takes a few minutes and the fluid is wasted if only one car is tried Where? Not sure many of you would recommend me driving the car from Dundee to Edinburgh to detect HGF :) The 'cold' coolant level is pretty much on the minimum line again. Tried to check ...

Oh, looks like my car with extra bits ;) (although my interior is red, and wheels are black now) I was thinking about the black stone chip guards infront of the rear wheel too... I'd say black/blue, will match in well with the steering wheel / dark grey and blue dash. Maybe you can take an interior ...

looks like Hot Hatch days are a tad on the dangerous side then. Is overtaking allowed or is it just that the blue Focus (RS?) is spinning and therefore the others are passing? Never been up there to spectate a hot hatch day (and not sure i'll ever bother now!)

Black and blue alacantera sounds the biz. I assume the car is blue?

What about blue nylon + alacantera? ;)

*UPDATE*

So, i've been using the car daily and monitoring the coolant levels. The car isn't misfiring when started from cold now The coolant level when cold seems to be below the minimum level when cold, but at or above the max when the car is hot. Should I be watching the hot level or the cold level?! Chris

I like the Ibiza and that one looks nice and unmolested. Suppose it's kinda a cheap VW Polo with a bit more style. I think I may be sorted for a winter car now too. My g/fs mum has a brand new Astra estate company car, so won't be using her N reg Audi A4 1.8T Sport that we picked for her about 2 mon...

ps The 90 day warranty is a f***ing joke, but then that is Dell. Probably worth saying it is actually a 1 year warranty, but simply 90 days collect and return. After that, you have to get it to Dell, and I believe they only deal with 1 courier firm, and it costs £35 or something. Still probably che...
