cheers for that, I think it's nice to remember him every now and then, I think we should have some type of Annual OcUK Motors day for him, honour the legend that is TurboToaster.

Full paint restoration completed by Autobrite:

Top job as always, car looks better than it did the day it arrived in Renaults show room, that is this cars restoration complete, first time I think a car was ever truly completely by me, now time to continue with the M3.

I probably have the most mechanically sound and cleanest 172 Cup in the UK, maybe in existence considering mechanically every is now fully refreshed when it comes to suspension, brakes etc.

 

[DAIR]

Looks as good as new!

 

[Tidgy]

my current toy, 1 of 25 sti Limiteds. Currently running in the new engine haha

 

[Akagi]

What makes it special? (Meant in a genuinely curious way)

Is it basically a WRX STI without the rear wang?

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Needs a wing, looks like a regular WRX to be brutally honest.

 

[MrKnifey]

How big was the remortgage?

Was £7850

special being 1 of 25,,,,,, hahahaha

In all seriousness its closer to a spec d than a normal sti

Leather interior
front fogs
black centre console
black calipers
revised engine
revised gearbox


although don't ask me what the revisions are, all i can tell you is the code is different to a normal sti or spec d

I think automatically people see RWD escort as unobtanium. My friend had a bright orange 1.3 as his first car and he didn't pay much in the grand scheme of things.

 

[MrKnifey]

I think its more down to the fact for a tidy, sorted MK2 Escort its £15k average.. Not a lot of people can afford that on a car to sit around 95% of the year!

 

[OllyM]

Just had this Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland delivered, fully expecting a mixed reaction but anyway...

I suddenly feel a lot more American

 

[NigeP]

I think we're due some updates on what shenanigans TurboToaster is up to, Anyone still follow the things he does?

Well I`ll take a wild guess he wasn`t at World Time Attack like he told everyone he would be

I`m sure he has some new super duper never been done before idea he'll spend a lot of time and effort on, never finish then changing direction

Especially a 3 door! What marque is it?

 

[MrKnifey]

Its a MK2 1600 Sport

God that Jeep interior is hideous. Were you not tempted by the European offerings @OllyM ? (in b4 Jeep is Fiat therefore European)

Amazing - had a mk2 Daytona yellow 1600 Sport, one of my most fun cars!

 

[OllyM]

I think the interior is fine - it's reasonably well put together and the Overland trim has lots of leather everywhere which helps.

I would have preferred something German but Jeep are virtually giving these away at the moment so I couldn't justify the extra $$$ when it's really just a utility car.
