As you may have read, we are planning on doing a regular Car Of The Month feature for every month through 2022 (and potentially beyond!). This is where all you lovely people can post up your cars for consideration! As with all things...
As you will no doubt be aware, your committee has been working tirelessly in the background getting some glorious things tee'd up and planned for 2022. The events team has a fantastic thread which has been set up ( to detail all of the events and potential plans for...
Some members are forced to run other cars for various reasons, thus unable to enjoy the awesomeness of the RX-8 everyday. :(
If you've had to change rotary, or worse, moved away from rotaries all together, then I guess we could still be interested in what you have to endure as...
The bus company I work for have just taken delivery of the first few of nearly 50 EV public transport buses, and to keep my hand in for the future I’ve been selected to carry out the full certified training to work on the a/c d/c systems .
Rubber gloves on order .
Picked up a Mazda 2 1.5L Sport 5 door in the lovely blue colour (also on some MX-5s I believe :-k). Not perfect by any means, has it's fair share of bruises and bumps around the edges, but mechanically sound/maintained and came with some extra goodies :p :lol: 140 mile...
So picked up a 17 plate Quad a few days ago after wanting one since they came out and was lucky enough to get invited by Alfa to test drive the car at Millbrook proving ground 3 years ago. Was a great day out and got a bit of tuition from Ross Wylie, the Scottish racing driver round the alpine...

I originally made a post asking about a DIY alignment. I now have more information and details that have me asking a new question...
the issue I am having is the rear wheels on my Touareg are leaning in a fair bit at the top, so I guess excessive camber. This picture does an excellent...
Not got it yet so all I can show are computer generated build pictures from the configurator, but put an order in at Porsche for the new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0L flat 6 Naturally Aspirated paired with a manual gearbox.
My feeling was this will probably be one of the last times you get to own and order...
MOT & brake pad warning light reset after fitting a new set of Brembo brake pads.
The wear indicators would not clip into the new pads. Time for a word with ECP methinks.

Hi guys
As some of you may have seen at Christmas I treated myself to a new car. After looking at loads of different makes I finally settled on a 2017 Nissan 370z nismo.When I got her it was standard with 16045 miles on the clock. Since then I have fitted her with new Michelin ps4s, updated the...
This picture was taken (14/03/22). Margate, Kent, is returned to 1980 for a film set
Filming for a Hollywood blockbuster is well under way along a Kent seafront which has been transformed into a winter wonderland.
Actors and crew are in Margate where they are shooting new movie Empire of Light....
So noticed on the family eurobox that it seems to have developed a judder when pulling away from stationary.
Most noticeable against an incline.
Its a 1.6 d manual and pretty Torquey although it is a big ish 7 seater {older style pig 5008)
We've had it over two years so something definitely not...
Hi guys,
Some of you may know I've been looking for a 25th Anniversary edition for a while now and I'm delighted to say I picked up this little beauty last Thursday in the UK :D
Brought her back on Saturday and I'm loving it.She only had 15k miles on her and is in great condition bar a few stone...
I've been doing a lot of miles in my R3 the past couple of years for work. Too many really so we agreed for the company to hire me an electric car on a rolling monthly rental. So here is my new work horse, the 41kw Renault Zoe. It's a brand new car and I'm her first renter.
I know a lot of people will think I am showing off, but when you work hard for the good things for your family, you deserve to treat yourself. I can’t express the happiness I am feeling right now.
White was the only color they had, and I would of preferred blue but it doesn’t matter. I went for it...
Hi, struggling to find anything helpful on the internet, Zafira not exactly being an enthusiasts car. It's such a basic thing I'm hoping one of you will be able to give some advice. Right hand rear wheel is stuck. Left side rotates fine. It's drums though, which I'm not too familiar with. On the...
For me, for the last three years, there has only been one car that suited the enthusiastic driver who also has a life, friends, and life things to do, and that has been the E63s estate; all the pace of a 911 turbo, all the comfort of a Bentley Mulsanne, all the interior room of a Range Rover, and...
Ive been hunting for a new daily for awhile...my Wrx wagon has been with 7 years and i wanted something else.
So i got another Scooby..

I have a 2007 Touareg that needs the rear alignment looked at, the tyres have worn down on the inside edge, and when you look at the car from the back the wheel actually looks like they are tipping in at the top. Realistically, how easy is it to fix this at home?
So we move back to a German brand in a Mercedes and my first ever Mercedes at that, having previously driven German Bmws.... My last BMW the 535 V8 dates back to around 2011 though.. Got me thinking actually, not ever owned an Audi or a VW either....
In August 2021 I regretably sold my RX8, which was midway through a race car conversion, in order to fund a childhood dream: owning an Alpina BMW.
I came across the E39 5-series based B10 on Autotrader, advertised at a price I couldn't ignore let alone resist. Couple of phone calls later I bought...
Picked this v1 estate up around September to use as a daily (I don't cover many miles :lol: ) and to fit parts for the 8 inside.
It's covered 173,000 miles and seen 7 other owners, but is in remarkably good condition considering. The bodywork is tatty in places, but the engine feels strong (has had...
So after dailying an r53 cooper s and having an 8 for weekends I have made the very wise and adult Decision to swap the mini for something economical but not mind numbingly boring. Been looking at a few options and like the idea of a 1 series m sport diesel MK1. The only snag I have is they all...
After just a year of Ford ownership we decided is not for me And Jessy (a.k.a the boss ) and we sold the s max last Friday and the Mondeo will be partly stripped and sold
And we bought the new whip lawnmower

This was originally a quick and dirty first post because I was having an issue, but I'll edit this post with some photos and a nice history later. I've edited it with some history, need to dig some photos out as they're not close to hand! Original post is in the spoiler.
People who know me will know that I adore RX7's so when this popped up on my YT feed it grabbed my attention.The guy who built this is 23 so serious kudos to him. =D>
I'm not a wide body kit fan but the more I look at this the more I like it 8) Is there a better looking car from the front than...
Having just done the Two Ball Rally (TBR700) same as the NC500 but an extra 200 miles, up Scotland in a mates R53 Cooper S and had such a blast. I just had to get one😂. So I found this one in Wolverhampton, picked it up this morning. So say hello to “Mouse” as Karen has named it!! It’s had all the...
If a moderator is trying to read this thread please delete it as there will be no other up dates the thread is up dated on face book where I do not have to pay the privilege thank you and good bye :lol:
I daily drive an Audi A4 the runs like a charm, anyhow I thought it might be wise to invest in a OBD diagnostics and coding tool for it. The only sensible thing you can really get for VAG is VCDS (VAG-com diagnostic system), I only got the Hex+Can Version for 2015 or earlier cars that set...
Looking at getting a new car from a work programme.
For tax reasons I am getting pushed down the Batter/Hybrid route but there are not many out there that are capable of towing - or at any particular range (especially with a car trailer and RX8 on the back)
Just wondering whether anyone has any ideas where I can get a new pipe for the steering rack on a Chevy captiva? Mine has worn hole in it and has lost all fluid. Got the pipe off but can't find a new replacement online easily. Can I take it somewhere for it to be duplicated? I've attached...
last week as I was driving home from a weekend in Switzerland (I'm from Germany not the UK so its not really too far for a weekend trip) the wheel-bearing in my Audi A4 daily driver decided to shred itself and (unusually for a wheel-bearing) become so bad in just a couple of miles...
