Hi guys, First of all, I'm sorry for the recent problems with the site. It looks like we have been attacked a few days ago and our host has blocked access to the site until we found a way to block the attacks. After failing a few times, we finally managed to get the site running. But... (yes, but), the servers we were on were very slow for our needs (US based) and as GTV-TB noticed, loading times were huge. I, myself didn't have that long loading times, but it depends on your location. So, we have moved us to a new server in the EU and the speed is amazing (SSD), at least for me. It costs considerably more to run and maintain, but it's absolutely worth it. I will create another round of donations if you would like to contribute. This will be our home, until we outgrow it. So, what else? We have a new site. The old one was quite resource intensive. This one is faster and will be more feature rich as we update it. If you have visited the site, you probably noticed the new Shop. There's no shop in the forum anymore and we have great plans for the new one. Firstly. We start with a bunch of stickers/t-shirts/mugs/accessories and even Wall Tattoos. Secondly. We have made an arrangement with a local leather upholstery and will be able to offer custom high quality leather gaitors and steering wheel recovering )plus other custom leather work) with very good prices. So, watch out for other updates soon!

Sorry for the slow response... but yes, it was. It's not a bad car at all. The damage is minimal, it wants a front panel and spoiler, a new offside headlamp, indicator unit/fog lamp and various bits of trim at the front plus a new grille and badge. But, and here's the but.. it really needs painting. It has a good lacquer coat but the paint has faded in many areas and the bonnet is from another car and simply doesn't match at all. The wheels are not so bad and it has good recent tyres all round. Matching Goodyears no less. It has had a new engine quite recently. The alloy and ancillaries are very clean and tidy. But ( this is the second big but) the engine management light is on and I don't know why. It might be something and nothing - or it could cost a lot of money to put right. The interior needs serious cleaning but is quite tidy. It is a Cat C write off ( or it will be). Given its value when sorted, there is quite a lot of risk in the project, even though I have all the panels and trim to fix it. So, I'm thinking about it.... but it is way too good to let it die. It needs saving!
