Volvo or princess?


Mondeo ones seem to be the best option, price, availability etc wise.

I think it'll be easy cos Carl appears to not be hugely fond of it
anyway,
and the shabby bodywork will keep it that way, he won't want to spend
cash
on something that can't be polished up nice on the weekend.

Did you ever see my beige rusty estelle, bought for £80, ended up
spending £1k including GAZ shocks, new springs, improved braking, nice
seats, weber, tuned exhaust, etc, etc.

That doesn't count, it was your first car. Who here can honestly say
they didn't waste any money on their first, or one of their early, cars?


Hmmm. I think I qualify as that.

Actually, no, I insured my mark two Fiesta fully comprehensively...

All though I get the impression few people here have actually modded a
car...


Most have in some small way. A few in a bigger way. Actually and this
isn't a dig in the slightest, are you gonna do anything to the Clio?
Somebody passed me in a 2008 Clio Sport thingie-me-bob this evening.

*looks at the Hirsch website again* :-)


Possibilities for the R27 were covered in another thread :-) Now I have a
new thought...

Those wheels are Megane R26s 18s, wearing 225/35/18s, they have 'sharper'
spokes than mine as well, which are 215/45/17 standard fit. This is a
poorish picture of a black R27 with standard wheels -
