Not yet.

TBH, the one guy I could afford to do it (the welding) does a strong=20

job, but it tends to be messy MOT plate repairs which can`t be seen from=20

the top.

The guys that do the full on restos are usually (when I`ve had quotes=20

for other cars) cost about twice what he does. i know from the ammount=20

of welding, filling and shaping it will need, never mind screen=20

replacement, that we are looking about =A3100 for him to do a quick cheap=

=20

job.

I`m broke for repairs, and I`ve kind of lost heart with it.

Grind it off. Bog it up. Spray over the top. Flog it.

Title: I am not a fan of BMW month
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:40:06 +0000
Author: whoisfelix

I pretty much visit the Speedhunters website daily for my car fix. I actually need quite a few of those thoughout any given day. Every month lately, they’ve been sticking to a theme. I was fully on board for speed month, as they covered salt flat racing, wangan cars, and did some pretty awesome retrospective coverage of the old Avus and Autobahn circuits. This month, they are doing BMW month. I don’t hate BMW’s. In fact, I like them quite a lot. BMW’s don’t vary that much and I feel like I’ve seen it all. I guess I’m just waiting for the October theme to be announced so I can get back on board. Not hating, just waiting…

Here’s a couple of shots that I actually REALLY liked from last month. Some just look cool, others show another side of speed. I had no idea that Top Secret built a pikes peak car. I am late to the Pentroof party. At any rate, here are my favorites for Speed Month in August on Speedhunters;

Title: Volkswagen Golf R
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:36:24 +0000
Author: symo

Primo: bisogna trovare una vera erede mk6 della sempreverde R32. Secondo: non è possibile che la Ford Focus RS sia sempre cosi avanti anni luce da tutte le altre (o quasi), bisogna trovare un modo di avvicinarsi alla concorrenza. Probabilmente questa può essere la volta buona, in Volkswagen sembra abbiano pensato davvero a tutto nella creazione di questa Gof R.

Dal punto di vista meccanico la R è mossa dall’ormai famoso TSI 2.0 litri 4 cilindri che abbiamo già visto su Audi S3, TTS o Scirocco R. Questo motore permette di erogare la bellezza di 270 CV a 6 mila giri/min e una coppia massima di 350 Nm in un range di 2500 giri/min (da 2500 a 5000 per la precisione).
Le prestazioni sono di assoluto rilievo: la massima è limitata a 250 km/h e l’accelerazione 0-100 varia di 2 decimi di secondo in base all’adozione del cambio manuale (5,7 secondi) o automatico DSG (5,5 secondi).
