Hi all, Thought I'd throw up a little thread for my daily. On the day of collection I arranged to view this one in Gloucester and another in London. I live near Norwich so I braced myself for a few miles of driving, luckily I had roped a friend in so I had someone to share the mileage. Long story cut short, the one in London was a shitter and hilariously mis-advertised! So after an approximately 2 minute test drive, I had said no thanks rather politely after that complete waste of time and was on my way to Gloucester from East London. The car was advertised well and the chap seemed really nice and genuine on the phone and was part of a few mk1 forums which is always a bonus(Even has a RR sticker in the window!). In this case the car was exactly as described and after a little haggle a deal was struck, now all was left was to make the long trek home and after various motorway closures and a three hour kip in a layby I made it home at 0700 the following morning. Aside from the rather annoying diversions, everything went smoothly and I was an extremely happy chappy to be back in an A-dubya! Couple of pics to follow one on the morning after getting home and one of the route that I took for my little day trip to view mk1's and of course purchase my Silver Arrow

I am partial to the black and red combo like that, that's gorgeous! That was my main prerequisite when finding another was as rust free as possible. It's a nice low mileage(77k) and lot's of history car so pretty happy. Previously my helios blue MK1 had a 3SGTE conversion, but although that was stonkingly powerful(~250bhp) I must admit I'm loving being back with the 4AGE. It was already on lowering springs and has a TLE stainless steel exhaust so those two mods were already done but aside from that it "was" completely stock. Even down to the cassette player. I say "was" because I've done a couple bits to it already. Pics to follow but for now here is a pic of my new wheel choice, wanted to stick with a retro look and think these work pretty well.

Afternoon session - bunch of die hards they were - I kept the hill going till there were just 4 cars left.......... Not sure the MR2 was one of them as my memory of that event is fading fast I'd go hunting for pictures in the event threads if I was you

Found your thread with pics, but to no avail. Is there any other picture threads from the event? I'm post night shift so my brain isn't engaging correctly currently!! EDIT: Now found the RR15 section

Didn't spot the old girl,probably a bit too boggo for anyone to warrant photographing! Some amazing cars though and plenty of food for thought. This is my favourite, it's just perfect in my eyes.

I'm considering spacers to bring them flush with the arches, I've never used spacers before, what are people's thoughts on them? Safe etc?
