Was offered this ST150 last year and to say it was in a sorry state is an understatement, car had been lying for almost a year with clutch slave cyclinder failure. Wee car has full history, all keys, full miltek etc so couldn't say no. Car the day it arrived with me, covered in moss inside and out, it had 3 broken springs from sitting up also. I bit the bullet and bought new shocks, bump stops, mounts, eibach spring kit, clutch kit with slave cylinder... Read more

Ok…have a query re doing your own Ceramic Coating at home in a garage. I’m 20 hours into polishing my M3 now (2step with Menzerna 400 and Sonax Perfect Finish), and now that the paint is as good as I’m going to get it myself (without going to a pro) I’m wondering what to use for a coating… My go-to has been the combo Powerlock and Collinite 845 but wondering if I should try my hand at a ceramic coating - the car is only going to be used in the dry and around 6 months of the year so I know...

Hi all I'm looking at getting solar panels and a home battery installed, and would be very grateful for any thoughts or experiences from anyone who has a system installed. Any obvious pros or cons to having the system. Is it effective with our weather? Has it actually cut electricity bills? What capacity of battery/panel array do any of you have? And the obvious, what's the likely installation cost? Cheers. Niall

2 seated tickets for the Rory’s Stories show at the Iontas theatre in Castleblayney 8pm this Friday. Have been twice before and was looking forward to it again but scheduling conflict is making it tricky so we would prefer to rebook for another date £20 each (face value €29 each)

Collecting the wagon in 3 weeks. I need storage in the rear, for drones, cameras, and. tV potentially. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello, I have a set of unused silver 16" 3-stud Compomotive MOs going. I bought them 25 years ago but by the time they arrived I sold the AX shortly after and never got them fitted. They've been sitting in my parents garage ever since. There are also tyres which are too old to use, but would work to get them fitted. They're for collection in the north west, if anyone wants to suggest an offer for them. Thanks, Ben

My westfield is sold and going to Norway so I needed a replacement toy - I have well and truly had enough of the 7s…..I’ve had 7 of them (ironically) and I wanted a change. I wanted a car that’s practically as fast on track but can be driven to and from track, because trailering was just starting to get on my wick! Also a roof for wet days etc is a big bonus. I’d love to think I can drive it over to the Ring and back but I’ll not get ahead of myself at least until I know it’s reliable! I... Read more

There's a car thread so why not? I rode mine for 40miles ish, washed it then dropped it off the paddock stand. Couldn't hold it so let it go against the front porch (gently) no damage done worth caring about.

Set of 17inch alloys from Bmw X3 8j 17 with one good 235 55 17 Pirelli tyre,the others are old and cracked. Look like they were refurbished and never put on. £80

As title - what have you spotted recently in daily use that you thought to yourself "haven't seen one of those in a while!" Few recent spots for me were MK1 Laguna, Renault 5, campus, Datsun Cherry, Audi 100 estate and this... A standard SRI Cavalier on the original hubcaps. Tremendous. Apologies for the crap pictures! So... Let's see those pics

I can see it now....the NI version...diesel, straight pipe, cruising up and down the Port
