Show Us Your Motors!

Nice car Hutchy. You'll never satisfy everyone here. I bet it goes like mad, right?

Hehe, I actually agree with them some what.

The R32 replica exhaust Milltek do does look a lot better and not as in your face, but unfortently the last owner didn't fit that one.

Why are the exhausts different colours on that Golf?

OMG. You don't like it? Oh noes. I better go and saw it off because of what you said on the OCUK forum. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

No, you'd better go and saw it off because it looks crap not because some people on the internet said so.

I'd assume they are different colours because only 2 are part of the system, the other 2 tips are just cosmetic hence they are cleaner? Open to correction though.

Then surely he needs to remove the cosmetic ones, as it looks really bad?

Just had time to give my Mini a wash, take some pics and then it started to rain.

Nice mini, can't stand those new ones that looks like a little squat tank.

A few from auto-testing today;

Is that a 5 door ST500 ? christ talk about rare!

Lovely motor, shame its a 5 door though

Do you do a lot of Auto-testing Mike?

A mate of mine is a co-driver in local rallying events and recently entered into an auto-test. From what he was saying, it's much harder than you may think... especially for a first timer.

It is indeed a five door ST500 - I'm told that only 150 were made.

I prefer the five door Focus, and thats not just bias, this preference existed before I bought it and was part of the attraction to an ST when I first needed a five door (Probably one of the only cars I prefer in five door).

I do it a fair bit, we run one event a month, but that is all there is over here other than grass-track. Its much harder than it looks, and no matter how good a driver you believe you are, very little of it applies in autotesting. The ST isn't really an ideal stead for such events, but I do it for a bit of fun rather than to be competitive.

We also have a kitted out Strada for such events currently sat in my garage, but it went terminal after its first run of the year today - no compression on two cylinders, but once I've done the headgasket, I look forward to getting out on the autotests in it again.

Strada;

Picked up my Focus ST-2 on Friday. 1 year old with 8000 miles on the clock.

 

[peterattheboro]

ST2 on an 09 plate? Did you not fancy the ST3?

Also your car is upside down

I know Dunno what happened there.

Would have preferred an ST3, but couldnt find any i liked, wasnt really that fussed about the extra bits you get with it.

Thing im most happiest with is having a DAB radio in it, was excited when i found that out
