Threads are a rarity as we mostly hang out in our own dedicated Slack chat. If you want in, just post up your email (it can be a throwaway), and you'll be invited in. We do actually discuss things of an automotive nature, don't fear. It's not all degeneracy.

Fuck off Julian

First for reversing sensors
How is everyone getting here lads?
>>17244212
DRIVING FAST AND ANGRY

Even seeing this pic gives me feels.
Man I wanna go again.
>>17244212

Alright lads tempted to come one day.

We're on the slack chat, feel free to join. Post and email and someone will send an invite.
>>17246893
Hello fellow MY03 V40 diesel owner
I only have one car, and that's why I'm not coming to any meets
But it's still quite a nice shitbox
>>17246893
Neither car fits, but you're still welcome son
>>17247082
Great cruiser isn't it?
I had it remapped and it's made a nice difference.
>>17247097
Too girly?
>>17247181
2fast ;^)
>>17247181
Looks nice. Bet it's lovely in the summers and warm weather
>>17247175
It's comfy as hell on long drives, and has enough torque to have fun on Yorkshire back roads
Bit floaty at anything over 90 but that's edge of envelope work
>remap
My young male insuance says that's not on the cards just yet. Touch jealous mind.
>>17247255
do most people even declare a remap on their insurance?
>>17247266
I mean
At what point do you start declaring things
Are high spec pads and rotors a required item? Seems like consumables to me
>>17247266
>>17247296
Its not as if people come around at night and search your car for mods
Only problem would be if you need to make a claim or something
>>17247296
if you wanted to be really anal about it you would say anything that wasn't an OEM spec part but in reality most people probably don't even declare an aftermarket stereo which really you should declare because if it's stolen may not be covered
>>17247318
This
Got a parts list of stuff I'm picking up once I'm back to work which I am going to declare, because if it gets nicked I want it covered
>>17246893
Buy a Volvo 850 and you'll turn the most heads
>>17247552
Did volvo ever make a proper-way-round fast estate?
850 T5 was FWD
And the V70R P2 was Haldex so that doesn't exactly count
I want to be a welsh toogay kid as well but heavy fronts and understeer crush my dreams
>>17247628
850 AWD? FWD based but idk if its any good. could always get a rwd estate and put a turbo on it
>>17247552
But i don't want to turn heads. I got it as a shitbox for my 130mile/day commute. Expected nothing but its actually ok as >>17247255
says.
I like the volvo because it knows what it is. Not pretending to be anything.
>>17247266
i err....haven't. 115bph -> 165 which isn't bad for the old girl.
I went to Stratford over the weekend. Where were all of you? I couldn't even see a thread here.
>>17248420
The meet that brit/o/ as a whole will be attending is this weekend. 26/27/28/29 bank holiday weekend.
Its going to be lit senpai
What day is the Welsh togue since I need to book holiday well in advance
>>17248642
No date organised, it's just whenever someone fancies one. Feel free to plan one
>>17248925
where abouts do they hold welsh togue?
>>17248941
So far we've had two in south Wales, there's a few boys up north in Manchester and higher so North Wales wouldn't be off the table
>>17248950
I'd be down for coming to one, what do you fucks get up to?
>>17248953
meet fight fuck
>>17248956
sounds great sign me up
>>17248953
We set off at about midnight, drive over mountains and nice roads. Not gunning it but spirited as there's barely any barriers and if you come off you're a dead man. Normally get home for about 7am.
We do not travel quietly through a town until one of us drops a gear and floors it to wake everyone up at 4am, that's just rude.
>>17248956
Pretty much
>>17248963
Post a burner email to join discord, we do a lot of planning through that. Or keep an eye out for the threads
>>17248972
>>17248963
>discord
SLACK
FUCK
>>17248965
>spirited driving
lmao I do fuck all spirited driving
>>17248979
you mean for not even one fleeting moment you decide to rev above 3k when pulling away from a traffic light? you buring cunt
>>17248979
We'll wait for ya, the last thing we want is to be informing someone has gone off a cliff
>>17248988
well yeah I've done that but only to actually get moving with my shitboxes. I'm just not a speed demon I guess, I've never wanted to throw my cars around and prefer trying to be smooth
>>17249004
Post a burner email cunt, come join the lads
>>17249010
I need to make a burner so I'll do it tomorrow
>>17249025

Filthy kuffar
First attempt at my driving test tomorrow lads wish me luck

My examiner failed me in three minors in the same category (which counts as a major and thus a fail) because when turning mini roundabouts I used lane-change indicators (where the light blinks three times if you lightly tap the stalk) instead of using it "properly"
>>17249251
Stay calm! Good luck!
>>17249854
They can't give a minor for that surely?
That's just silly
>>17249854
Tester clearly a fag. Grounds for a do over.
>>17248992
>that filler cap
>>17250415
They really can. Repeated misuse of indicators is a guaranteed fail.
Should I get a reliant rialto brit/o?
My neighbours Integra Type R is on the back of a trailer being delivered to his house after being fixed and it won't start even with a brand new battery kek
>>17251871
What wrong with kar
>>17251915
No idea. They managed to bump start it but only after it made a nasty scrape as it came off the trailer. Fucker shouldn't lower it so much.
>>17252004
What did they need to fix?
>>17252340
I don't know. I remember seeing it carted off a week ago on the back of a truck and it came back today.
>>17252340
>>17252533

>un-ironically wanting to own a VW
JAAAYYY DEEEHHH EEHMMMM BRO
>>17253315
It's pretty boring once you get over how fast it is. It doesn't even feel fast - the chassis cancels out most of the feedback. You get an initial shunt of speed when the turbo spoils up but that's it. Suddenly you're doing 80 and it's like "Oh ok better lift off the throttle now"
Bumping with the VIP guest list

If you are able to insure it ect, I could get you red manual 2 y/o w/18500m for the cost of fifty quid for every weekend day in a month. Week days its free.
>>17254160
I've driven it. It's a 2.0 petrol in the streets. Turbo bigger than yours in the sheets.
Damn. Only feels like it was last week when we went to Shakespeare last year
>>17254629
We've already been once this year too
Why no Midlands touge meet
>>17257193
Shut up muhammad
>>17257193
We did the Midlands tick last year m8.
>>17254555
Mine doesn't need to compensate with a massive turbo because it's a much bigger engine :^)
>>17244149
That K11 4 from the left is the kawaii-est
>>17257854
AW11 a cute
>>17257634
In'shallah
>>17244149
I wonder what the general public thought when all you homos lined up your shitboxes in Aldi car park.
>>17260371
We had a couple of looks but it was late afternoon Sunday so pretty quiet about
>>17260371
Aldi's shut on a Sunday afternoon senpai
In b4 someone brings Shaun a royal pardon
>>17249251
Did you pass yo?
>>17260371
Have you ever left your house to meet other humans intentionally and of your own free will
>>17263161
>As he posts this on a 4chan board

>>17244149
>That poster stare on the far left
gets me every time
>>17249251
Still no news on driving test
Can only assume it went wrong, but keep your head up and try again.
