| for me..... A 1993 Renault Clio, was a good car! managed to get 17 inch alloys on it and lower the front 40mm too! you heard it b4 u saw it! but its now goint to scrap yard as the gearbox died 12 hours b4 a show A 1969 Riley Elf, I have nver driven this thing, but owned since 2004! she is worth alot of money and is being restored by my dad! A1966 Austin 1100, again not yet driven but is to be on the road early next year as im taking a tour around the uk in it in summer of 2010! she will be repainted and look like new! just with a new radio and the front seas from my dead clio, more comfy for the long trip! What do the rest of you drive or have you owned? | |

| I didnt do anything to my clio!
the gear box oil cooler died!
after speaking to a renault engineer, its a design fault and they should be replaced every 2-3 years but at £147 plus VAT they never are!
oh well next year I'll have a 1966 austin 1100!
woohoo! | |

| hmm...dunno if u can get straight cut auto boxes hehe
that engine is a standard a series block and gearbox with a k1 bike cylinder head on it.. requires a stronger gearbox on it than standard tho to cope with the power | |
