I can't remember his name, but doesn't he have something to do with the Mexico World Cup?

I like a slightly louder and nicer engine and exhaust sound but can appreciate why a lot of people wouldn't. This is what my daily driver sounds like but I have extra silencers for when I go to work early or go on longer journeys as it is very loud. Around 104dB I think. I'm personally not a massive V8 fan, but V6, V10, V12 and especially straight 6s are glorious. I also admit to being impressed with the sound of the Renault Zoe that I had for a few days

Nope, it was designed to run on diesel

I only use V Power in my daily as it runs remarkably better with improved economy. It doesn't have any fuel sensors or maps either, just a carb and a dizzy. All the moderns get whatever's cheapest as I simply don't care

Damn autocorrect... Thank muchly

Would someone be able to make the centre of the side (between the two sewage lines) of this red to give it a two tone look? I'd also like to see the centre of the bonnet red but this photo wouldn't be good for that Ta muchly

Cheers guys, it's tricky keeping it clean when it's used every day of the year and it gets some abuse too Sounds good too

No, you don't need to bother with claying as they'll flatting the paint before spraying. They just want the panels clean so it doesn't clog the sanding pads

I use 6mm bitumen sheet followed by 10mm closed cell foam. Makes a big difference over the standard insulation in British 60s/70s cars. I'd imagine standard Audi insulation is better but I reckon it's be on par with that.

Scimitar SS1/SST/Sabre The styling of the SS1s are debatable but the Sabres look great. They come with a range of engines from 1300, 1400 and 1600 CVHs, through the 1400 K series to the 1.8 Nissan turbo. They handle absolutely brilliantly (more than rival MX5s) and Nissan powered ones are properly quick with scope to make them much quicker for under £100 They're cheap too. Between £1200 for a roadworthy CVH to £4000 for a really good one -
I competed in a sprint at Anglesey last weekend. Both the national and international are great layouts, international in mega. The weather changes every 5 minutes but the Tarmac is brilliantly grippy in the wet so it's not such a bad thing when it rains.
