Drive wise she scares the crud outta me! First car I've owned which doesn't have traction control, and currently the abs is disconnected (someone used it for drifting) - but absolutely loving her

Not mine just yet, but I made an offer on it.
Cookie goes to anyone that can guess what it is
Scoob?
DVLA check says 3430cc.
Yeah, back in a straight six again
Just come back from a long trip, thought I'd see how she coped on a night time motorway journey. The engine is definitely still very strong, pulls non-stop in fifth much like my e46 2.5 did but with that whole hunk of weight behind it which makes me think there's a lot more to come Sneaking suspicion it's had a remap...Cookie goes to anyone that can guess what it is

Wasn't expecting to buy a new car last weekend, then realised I'd had my Mondeo for 3 years so had to change! Bought this:
It's a 1.8 ES on a 59 plate. As I'm not doing 25k miles a year anymore, I can enjoy petrol again!

What made you go for a 59 plate 1.8 civic if you want to enjoy petrol again? Through work i am guessing?
Enjoy!

By 'enjoy' I meant not having a noisy diesel anymore!

Fair one. What Mondeo did you have?
Man of Honour
It was a Mk3 TDCi Ghia on a 56 plate. Great car, 3 years of issue free driving and I took it up to 150k miles. The temptation was to run it into the ground but was very aware that I'd done well to avoid injector and/or DMF issues up to that point, and I fancied a change.

I'll drop this one in here:
Our beautiful 22 year old Volvo, Dodger. he cost us a wopping £330.
Me and a couple of housemates are doing the banger rally Bratislava or Bust starting tomorrow, so should be an awesome, if not extremely hot trip!

Close, but no cigar
My offer was accepted so what the heck, another glimpse. This should really give the game away.
Super immaculate condition, leather, Nav, I'm excited. Stoked to be getting back into a Japanese motor.
So, given it is 12 years old and looks like new still underneath, I want to keep it that way. What (clear) products are good for coating underneath to protect from british winters?

O my... good choice!!

Please tell me those "exhaust tips" are just 4 bits of bog roll
We thought about drain pipe, pringles tubes, bog rolls, but in the end went for the piece of stainless pipe lying around in the garage!
