Ok, I know the website is full of lovely cars, but if my Porsche is still off the road I will be taking the...


Ford Ka!

Now its the 1.1 litre version, with the phat 14" steel wheels, and max'd headlights (they glow in the dark!!)

Is anyone else going, but not in a nice/interesting car??

Before anyone nominates me, and assuming I can get a pass out from the wife on her birthday, I will be there, as usual, in my little fiat.

Nought wrong with my black Kak -it's my company car!! But it has black tinted windows and wider tyres. Relented on the lowering, too many speed bumps, but bang for yr bucks?? It's like having a mini again -hooligans car around town and deligthful handling leaves most other cars standing around corners and roundabouts, if u can get a run up!!!!

1.1 litre? 1.3i engines only.....

PS I WON'T be bringing it on the first, but my wife may bring her red Italian car...

On seeing the thread title, I was about to nominate my VX220 with 'only' 143bhp, but seeing what the rest of you have entered, maybe it's not so boring after all

I would love to turn up in my 'E' Reg Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Merit Saloon but as I am having trouble convincing Mr Big that we should go anyway - the thought of me taking the Nova would finish him off.

Hope you get it going in time - I am hoping to get mine sorted (cam chain/tensioner/belts etc) too!
Just waiting for an estimate from Swindon OPC... £££

Hmmm... I could bring along the Ford Clitoris ('cos every **** has one)... a delightful Escort... that's filthy.

Perhaps I should wash it? Naah... did that 6 weeks ago!

Flashers sulking and refusing to come as he'd have to bring his Ford Fetus.

Fcuk off Mel!

Still undecided, but I would have be in the Focus as no TVR for the next four or five weeks..

Anyone going from the Northampton area? If so any chance of a ride? and a promise of a return ride in the T350C to the next meeting??

As there will no doubt be more TVRs there than anything, I'll nominate my Griff as most boringThey'll be as common as muck in that part of Surrey that day - you mark my words.

A nice Ford Ka, a Fiat, perhaps even a Nissan Micra - they'll be more unique on the day

Flasher - I'd offer you a lift in me Nova mate but I don't think you would enjoy the ride with your knees in your armpits.

Any serious offers then? As promised before a ride to the next meeting in the T350C will be the reward for a lift to VW......

M1 jnc 18 is where I reside...either that or it's the dreaded focus....

I may well be in the Primula

I feel I may never surpass the Proton our friends brought along to VW a couple of months back..



I would dearly love to bring the S though, so if anyone knows who in the Hants/Berks/Surrey can patch or replace my exhaust I'll do my damndest ...

Flasher - I'd offer (going from Daventry) but not sure you could handle the pace. Alternator's buggered on the Tiv so I'll be taking the Toyota. Fair swap though I'd say - ride in a 1.8 Avensis for a ride in the T350C.....

Or maybe not
