yeah Cat d is only uneconomical repair or stolen/recovered when your insurance has paid out already.but like you say some people are scared off by this .....not me!

Looks nice that! New tailgate n bumper anything else? Doesn't look too expensive

I saved £4k buying this car and I'm over the moon with my purchase :D

Yeah I'm well pleased drove it back from Wales and was spot on!

New boot, bumper and the quarter has a slight crease which is being sorted

Just can't wait to start driving it, feels a world apart from my ibiza though strangely seems quite a bit slower!?

:lol: which one

You made me look lol

August 28th, it's a full day thing. I'm traveling down from Scotland so will likely look for a place to sleep the night before. Are you local to the area? Do you have any recommendations around?

If you are going for the 28th we could meet up earlier or something, I' going down with my wife

It's about a 45min drive for me so I don't know anywhere local. South Shields would be a good stop over for ya,plenty B&B's and loads of restaurants especially if your a curry fan. It's right on the coast to for a romantic walk [B)], it's only about 50 mile to croft so you could set off at 7am.

Iv done a few open Pitt lane TD's and I've just done a sessioned one, so i quite like the idea of the sprintday as its a bit more competitive and against the clock. But if I'm free I'll pop down n say hello

Nissan pulsar GTi-R 25th anniversary meet @ rockingham race circuit














Around 30 cars in total attend from gtir-Motorsport club forum, I found my way down there in my mates newly acquired 425bhp gtir, where as he opted for the 300bhp wide arch track car.
400+But in a car that doesn't weigh much more than a ton is quite something ,absolutely blew me away at its relentless pace .and as much fun as it was taking the the wide arch car out on track I'm kinda glad I sod mine a few years back as the handling is kinda crap compared to a modern car,good fun though! And another track under my belt

Struggling to find time to get the TTRS brakes fitted,hopefully they'll be on this week.

Iv carried out the boot pop mod,but I'm not sure yet if it's a keeper


Picked up some new subframe bolts as well. Fast approaching its 4th year on the road and due a service so I need to look into that .hopefully the next update will contain pictures of the brakes fitted
