That's shit. Your house insurance might cover it though. Really worth checking out.

I think so mate, I recognize that from atleast one uni I visited... I can't wait though, really buzzing for it. You starting in September right?

Hey bud, I've been provisionally accepted if I get MMM in my BTEC. Doing Motorsport Engineering too, but at Oxford...Brookes Haha. The course sounds ace! And the single seater race car stuff is done in your own time called Formula Student I can't wait, hope I get in like!

Alright, thinking about this logically. I think you know that doing something to their cars will cause a massive problem to you. Engine oil would be funny, but I think they'd get you back. Put some diseasel in a spray bottle and spray some on the windscreen as you walk past. Thats reet funny. Try ringing like Damien said, that'd be good. But alternately, keep ringing the police or just ignore it. Sucks to be in that situation though mate!

I know OF someone who's done it, I think he's running a tad under 400bhp. He doesn't use forums though I don't think, I'll try to find out some more stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the feedback. We think the turbos blown a seal or maybe a pipe. But aside from that, still not worth it. Now my mates stuck back looking for another car. It's a tad annoying.

Ha, I skipped from page one to page five. In that time you went from just getting on the boost, to looking at some hard boost (TD04/hybrid). Dayum! I want boost!

You bastard. Your night sounds like a reet good time!

Hahaha, MULTI-SCORE!! I swear I live in Emmerdale sometimes, over here in the Shire, pheasants galore!

Bit of a long story but after much looking we found a car that sounded reasonable for my mate and the ebay listing was running out that night. Course we had to view the car so we shot up there (just over an hour drive) to have a look at it. Was dark by the time we got there, but I had a good look round and it all seemed really good, immaculate really (well, close). We then won the item on ebay and today went up there to get it, thatâ??s when everything went wrong. I'll list the rest; it'll be easier to read. In chronological order... When we first viewed the car he said he h

Those 16v's are great little cars. Well understated, all people talk about are the Williams and the RSi's. Good luck with getting a V.

Jeez guys, he doesn't know what happened, he said that. He only knows what they have figured out from the scene, and that might not be accurate. I don't know what your drivings like buddy, but from reading your posts you don't seem like a plank, I hope it turns out you weren't in the wrong and it was for another reason. I wouldn't worry yourself over liability for a little bit... Glad your well though, how badly injured are you now? Any lasting affects? Sorry bud, Mike

Not normally into supercars, but fair play to that! He must be minted, I'd love a 'friend' like that haha.

Yeah, thats german, all I can read is that he is new, here is the parts on his car and he doesn't have any audio... Proper ace car though!

I'm not addicted... ;)

Off topic but really, why is this? I can't think why haha.

Not trying to be a cockend but... I did the same thing as you on a bigger roundabout and I passed. The trick is how you deal with the mistakes you made. You could have turned off to the left and explained why, or if you were in a safe distance, you could have safely moved over into the correct lane (indicating, checking behind you, mirrors and shiz). No point in getting upset, unfortunate, but if you drove straight over the roundabout anyway you were doomed to fail. But with the website, that's just plain shitty. Cheers.

Do I try? Haha, I'm not sure, I don't know if it'd look right... But I have seen it look good on some really different cars (this comes to mind). I have a prime car for it, dents, a bit unkempt and that. I'll have a think about it, in the mean time I may paint my wheels a funky colour, steelies and that! Any more opinions?

I've got an ep82 (not a quadlight). I'm not sure though, I may have to do some photoshops! I'm still confused how they do their bonnets... They must protect them after rusting them, surely? [EDIT] Yeah Scutch, I agree with that mate, I'd rather the whole car be ratted rather than JUST the bonnet.

What's your opinions on rat look cars? I know it's mostly either old cars or VDubs but it has progressed into other cars as of late, like Pug 106's. How do you get the rusty orange bonnet? Is it rubbed down with battery acid then glossed over to prevent further rust? A few examples: What do you guys reckon to it? Starlet? Haha. I think it looks like fun, a real change. Cheers.

Here's the damage... Any opinions?

I really didn't expect this much interest in it. I will take some more pictures in a minute and upload them to see what you guys think. Cheers guys.

Nah bud, ordinary 2wd here. Looks like the 4wd though, sorry to disappoint like though.

Haha. It does look worse, I'll try to get a picture tomorrow or few. If anyone just wants to buy it off me for cheap...haha. Come June when MOT time is up.

Here we go, but I warned you it wasn't good...
