But no. I could never afford one.

Car 1 is a pretty looking car, but not so fast, car 2 is fast but not so good looking. Maybe it's just a phase, but I am starting to go off fast cars. Theres too many people out to get you at the moment

Nope, realistically I cannae afford to build it how it needs done. I'd rather not build it if it can't be done proper

so lugy,you got the saab all polished up yet?if so pics.

Mark_F · 05-10-2008, 15:50

Likewise Gordon, just went a run, went for petrol, filled up, came back out and it wouldn't even turn over. Bumping solo FTL

Still, could be worse, not like the Astra is heavy.

Will need to find out whether its my alternator or the battery itself.

You fancy Crail next Sunday then?

**Gordon Livsey** · 05-10-2008, 16:29

if the cars ready for the road im up for it mark

Mark_F · 05-10-2008, 16:30

Sounds good, if mine doesn't break again before then I'll see you there.

neil105 · 05-10-2008, 16:54

Gordon give your head a shake your car is never going to be ready

Not really, when I done it first time it looked super nice in daytimeness, but at night under fluorescent lighting it looks all streaky. Currently working on getting a sponge pad for the polisher

Car's don't need to be RWD to go round corners

Mark_F · 05-10-2008, 17:22

Nope, they don't even need 4 wheels to go round corners. But its good to have them.

Fair point, for now though I'll be sticking with a front driver. With my budget just about all rear drivers will be buckets

Mark_F · 05-10-2008, 17:28

Aye, to be fair right wheel drive comes at a cost and you need a bit of power to make it worthwhile.

**Gordon Livsey** · 05-10-2008, 17:41

got the battery problem sorted lol. the bloody fan belt had come off, will need to tighten up the alternator when i get a chance, ive got a new one sitting in the car, will put it on when i get the chance

**Lugy** · 05-10-2008, 17:41

Well, one of the car's is out the game. Paul's C70 has just been sold.

Yup. I think they look nice. A T5 version is way out my price league just now

**Gordon Livsey** · 05-10-2008, 18:10
