Dear retro-rides....

[SeventyNine]

Your recent excursion around our nations capital inspired us (F6^2) to do the same.

itsalmosttime.co.uk/blog/post/index/405/Welcome-To-Our-Town-London-Town#cmt



we got about 20 of us along, the purpose was to give 3 americans (from broke-status) who we were taking care of for edition38 for the week on a sightsee around london, just to say they've done the tourist thing, but with a pretty awesome twist

not to mention put some bedding in miles on "the zombie" (ryans matt black R32 turbo) and generally cause a disturbance.

the car count was 11 I think

I thank you wholeheartedly for incepting the idea into our minds <3

ahh that looked like a good night out

any more pics of that beige mk2 fez??

[SeventyNine]

it's lee riddles from retro cars magazine, not too sure where i would find such pictures on the internet. i found some on his facebook though




1.6 zetec on carbs

;D fudgeing love that car, makes me wanna a mk2 now

[SeventyNine]

the only no show-er was the newest car of the group, it managed it halfway there but was leaking diesel due to the wheel catching on the filler ;D



apart from that it went like clockwork, surprisingly ;D

That's a great thing to do, what an awesome way to show some fellow petrol heads from across the water our capital city! Fantastic photos too.

Cool night out. Love the P51 grinZ0r on the MX5.

[SeventyNine]

;D thanks. didn't get pulled either, even with the lack of front plate, giant windscreen banner, and no working rear lights (happened halfway through).

even had a conversation with one officer who thought that they should get P40 sharks on the sides of their cars

on other words, despite lowness being cool and preferable, there is a point when it begins to seriously F~@k you over when you're tring to do stuff, normal stuff such as having a social life ha ha ha
, like with my rekord, eventually a hole wore into the bottom of the diesel tank, leaking it all out by the morning, in addition to a couple of days earlier the diff casing catching and dragging on the road one night when there was someone in the back, leading to all the oil running out, not fun when you're miles from anywhere. when it wasnt stuck on something it did look cool though, in a ridiculous/broken sort of way

[SeventyNine]

meh, matt's had to call the AA because he was stuck on a speedbump and the airbags have gone off because he hit a pothole.

in the same journey ;D

I think he needs to take the Touran to be valued at We Buy Any Car. Do the normal internet quote, then watch the faces of the Carcraft geezers as they walk round it to do the actual valuation.
