these are really realistic textures but i wouldn't download these without realistic snow physics

knobbly tyres with full pressure?

looks nice, but i see dirt!

Quote from 5tag :

Eww... not only does it look weird, that silicone stuff will never completely soak in but happily collect every bit of dust it will make contact with. :thumb3d:

it's Autoglym tyre dressing, says it can be used as an engine dressing too, so gave it a try, shiny

done a few bits for it's MOT; o/s/f coil spring, both anti-roll bar links, brake pads and a n/s/f c.v boot. Oh yeah, middle & rear exhaust and also a washer pump.
Only both rear wheel bearings to do and it'll pass an mot. 2 months until i can actually drive it though..



cleaned up the engine bay abit more

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Brazilian 2001 Corsa, no fog lights, no stereo controls, no alloy wheels, 1 litre 8v (4 cilinders), 75k miles: £3067.24

Based on the current average price of one-way economy tickets for Sao Paulo-London flights, I could travel there, buy 5 of those cars and still have enough money to buy a few drinks at the closest pub.

bloody hell! i paid almost 30x less than that for mine. So im sure any guesses will be close now


i spent 4 and a half hours cleaning it today inside and out + engine bay.

Quote from R34GTR :

Please not HID's

nah, the headlight bulbs i have in just shine a nice white colour. Yellow is ugly

put led sidelights and better headlight bulbs in, y0

Quote from Eclipsed :

So you got paid to take it?

heh, no, i'm an apprentice in a garage so you could probably guess how much it was considering she was going to scrap it

i'll give another clue; it failed mot...

Quote from Bose321 :

Are those things considered as extra/luxuriously?

alloys, fogs and steering wheel controls, yes

It's a 2001, has fog lights, stereo controls on the steering wheel, alloys and it's a 1l 12valve. 77k miles and loads of history. Keep guessing

Quote from Bose321 :

Lol, seems totally legit.

Should I post all the spam e-mail I get daily in my mailbox to warn people?

i know that one doesnt look that legit cause of the font, but that's the picture Royal Mail published. Font was the proper Royal Mail font on the one i got

Just warning and letting everyone know, that if they have received an email from Royal Mail (probably in spam folder) called 'ATTN: Lost / Missing package‏'. It is a virus, so do not open it! It's a legit looking email for those who may be unaware but it is not them. Royal mail have confirmed this

looks like this:

Nice iPhone. I can see why you guys buy them.

i hope they're not that skinny

This happened


i've tried everything to get it out, but no luck

so i've disconnected everything from the engine and taking it out tomorrow, so i can get better access to the snapped bolt. If i can't get it out i'm going to get a 70cc kit
