  1. Sorry for the late update. Roof bars, front grille and bushes gone. OEM clutch and pressure plate added
  2. The tracking was only turned on at Portsmouth, but you can see the route one of us took :)
  3. Well, after the success of Monte Carlo or Bust, we did a little more this year - went to Gibraltar! Some of our group were particularly brave coming from Aberdeen and clocked up nearly 4,000 miles in a couple of weeks. A few photos Charging at Montserrat monastery before ANOTHER hailstorm scared the hell out of me again. Arriving at Gibraltar Sunborn luxury yacht-hotel was stunning
  4. I might be going to Basingstoke later this week, so happy to drop off / meet up / take you out for a spin 😛
  5. I'll take some when back home later today. I'm in Reading.
  6. err, pass. I think I bought it from generic motor factors so it's a "generic" part, but it does work on mk1 vrs Fabia rear brakes as I have used it on my old Fabia.
  7. Continuing the clearout of old Fabia vRS parts Front vRS grille for Mk1 Fabia vRS. In black. Complete with chrome black surround. Good condition. £10 ono - SOLD Pair of front A-pillar trims in light grey. Bought ages ago from Jason for an ICE rebuild, never got round to it. £free / donation of your choice. Pair of official Skoda roof bars. Complete with locks, torquing allen key, etc. £15 ono- SOLD Rear brake caliper wind back tool. I realise I need to find the back plate for this. £5 ono Powerflex poly bushes for rear axle on Fabia Mk1. Brand new. Never got round to installing them. They're a pair of PFR85-206. £30- SOLD OEM PD130 clutch and pressure plate. Came off my Fabia vRS when I upgraded to the Sachs motorsport stuff. No idea how much it's worth. Still fine and will suit any standard PD engine which isn't remapped with a load of torque. £30 I guess is fair?
  8. As we all know, the 312mm setup is quite an improvement on the standard 288mm. But I distinctly remember the further improvement the larger 323 discs provided. Not only more stopping power, but less brake fade when doing track days. :)
  9. Right, last bump as I forgot I had these. £200 is really a decent price I think. Open to offers as well
  10. Not ordered a replacement. I think I'll hang on to mine. It's taken the worst of the depreciation and is running beautifully. I'd probably be more interested in the Model Y than the 3. Maybe wait a couple of years to see how it really materialises then think about the options
  11. Backtracked or rather clarified the store closing stuff. For pricing, we'll see on Monday where there's talk of hen going back up again, but no idea how much. Oh and the Model Y was also revealed yesterday :-D
  12. Well, I knew Tesla opted for disruption, but the latest announcement has sent the Tesla Facebook groups into meltdown! In other news, I'm now over 60k miles, still loving it. However, the massively dropped cost of the ludicrous Model S is becoming tempting, not because of the extra performance (small lie, possibly!), but also the overall updated package and especially the extra comfort and range offered by the larger pack. And Model 3 soon being available at the lower price. LHD Model 3 vehicles now available to order and collection within a few weeks! It's all becoming rather exciting again!
  13. I'll be arriving around 11. Just stopped for a quick top-up at the Portsmouth supercharger which is just 5 minutes away. Anyone wanting a demo?
  14. Oh and whilst on the subject technicalities such as crop / not crop / what is a crop, I also only ever shoot in RAW format. It just allows you to recover so much information which is otherwise lost in JPEG. Not just over/under-exposed photos, but also far finer control on white balance, etc. Yes, with large pixel count, you end up with large files - around 50MB is frequent from my D800. But I can always bin the stuff I don't want to keep and even once I'm happy, output to a high quality JPEG and ditch the NEF file as I know I won't want to retouch it again. Storage nowadays is cheap
