Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

This isn't a Robin Reliant.

Wheel is about 10-15 degrees to the left when driving straight on. I can't stand driving cars that are out of alignment, especially ones that are designed for driving fun.

Re: What do you keep in your car "just in case "?

Coat. My dad always tells me to. Has been useful in a few cases. My manager laughed when I bought a coat in the summer when we went in his car for a business trip.

Re: What Classic ?

Kicking myself for missing out on the Practical Classics 3500 Auto auctioned at the NEC today. Guided at £5-7k and sounded OK. It was Lot 1 and proceeds to charity.
