Red mk1 t-bar at Marton Mere caravan park

We arrived at Marton Mere caravan park near Blackpool last Friday. We set up the caravan and walked up to the club for a pint (well maybe 2!). Parked outside the Spar was a red E reg t-bar. A lovely surprise. Was it you :?:

Peter Gidden Sbits

I have owned my mk1 mr2 for just over 12 months. During that time I've met Peter a couple of times and we've chatted about cars. I go past his garage during my daily commute. This morning I scraped the ice from my car and set off to work and noticed that the car felt very strange. After about a quar...

Re: south yorkshire meet

I'll be there tonight, with my noisy (not in a good way) exhaust. Got a Magnex arriving this week so I'll be after any tips you can give me on fitting it. I'll give Tommy (Coverco) a call later to see if he's coming. I might have to give him a lift if it's still raining tonight.

Re: DIDSM's Mint Mk1b - Ultimate Dilemma?

Cars are for driving I'd say. Don't really get the point of doing the whole GJOB thing and not using it to keep the miles down. If you can't ber to put the miles on it, sell it and get an example where you'd be less worried about it. :+: As a wise man in the Ferrari community said "Not putting...

Re: south yorkshire meet

Good to see everyone tonight, see you next month. Loved your reaction when we came out and you realised your precious car had been rained on! I ploughed on through the snow to get to work this morning and had you tutting at me in mind all the way! :D Was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. H...

Re: 1 hp

Don't listen listen to the neigh-sayers. If you're happy to pony up the (horse) brass required to do this then go for it. Don't let the negative 'whoah is me' people rein in your ambitions. Not that I'm trying to stirrup trouble!

Re: New (to me) car won't start! :(

I'm at work. Spent most of today moaning to my colleagues about my lovely car that doesn't work as I'm still waiting for the part to arrive. What I didn't know is that the part arrived this morning so my wife took it down the road to the garage and persuaded the mechanic to put my car at the front o...

Re: New (to me) car won't start! :(

Thanks Kris. It's got a red gear gaiter & knob now which looks a bit odd. I'll live with it for a couple of months before deciding on any changes though. What is the sunroof cover? Do you mean a bag to keep it in when it's not in use? I don't think I've seen one with the car. I'll have a look. Y...

Re: New (to me) car won't start! :(

So it seems that there are lots of people happy to admit to owning this car, but you're all denying knowledge of the Elvis tapes! I think you all protest too much! I see you're from Liverpool which is where I bought the car. I got it from Knotty Ash Cars (www.knottyashcarsales.co.uk/). The story I w...

Sorry Alex. I probably didn't phrase that very well as I was using my phone and the kids were demanding attention! :)
I'm hugely grateful to you all for your help and advice. I'll report back on the success or failure of the coil thingy when it's been fitted.
