My late brother had a N/A one and that was a good car, nearly as good as my Mk2 GTi.

Re: Looking at a car, insurance history question... Cat C

there are lots of polished turds Have you not seen what I buy?! Tbh I'd much rather buy a scabby one for this exact reason. If it looks a turd then it should be priced as such.

Re: EBay Finds

And you say I bid on some right shit 🤣

Loads of ex-concorde (and TSR2) engineers around Bristol. They're getting on a bit now though. I used to chat to them at the local RC model flying club when I was big into it. All of them had some interesting stories to tell.

Have you seen how much of a bastard location the turbo is at the back there? If you're not doing it, it'll be a fair amount of labour and risks of studs snapping. So imo I'd make sure whatever turbo you buy that it's good out the box. Probably why they go cheap as apart from plentiful, most scrap th...
