Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently! - Part 2

I'd really have to watch when dropping it if I did due to the fantastic road conditions we have(super-pot holes and such) and the fact I do alot of driving on single lane roads, or up in the mountains. Also the car will be a luggage loader. But I'll see. With the grill, can't get a JDM one as my cars not a Civic par-say, it's really a Domani, so hence why the rover change is appealing to me. And Like the idea of RS watanabe/Minilights on as I personally think it'd look well, some gunmetal gray/black one's would fit it to a tee. Although the minilights are cheaper & easyer to get over here in the UK. Going to see how things go though. :D

Just think, future editions of Forza Horizon will feature it, as well as being sold at Bonhams auctions. ;) Only huge mod i'd consider doing would be making it a Rover 45 'Tourer'. As the Rover 400/45 & Civic/Aerodeck(that style of civic) are the same body/interior! An actual 45 Tourer was never made due to Honda limiting the terms to just a saloon. People have done it, using both the pre-facelift and facelift Rover 45. Yes I'm nuts. :nuts:
-
It was't until after I got it and had a good look round it that I figured it was the same civic based on the Rover 400/45. Funny how things work out there. For the Clio. Were keeping her for now, my dad may swap his current car and use the Clio again(was originally his), or we'll rest he up in a friends barn and keep it for when we need it. Other option is we sell her, which we can make a profit on what we bought if for, but I'd much rather keep her.

:bump: I've got a new motor, what is it? Honda Civic Aerodeck 1.6 SE What to say? well Not much as it is as I haven't actually driven it yet, no Tax or Insurance as of yet. But bodywork it's spotless, and the cars original and sounds fine. Got it for £600 at auction(did a last second bid), will do a full report on it when ive picked it up. So plans? well doing a basic service in a few days, filters, oil, spark plugs, etc once i order the parts. Honda Civic Aerodeck by CarbonCoffee, on Flickr Will have more pictures up in the next few days.

Post One Random Automotive Picture Per Day
calster17 replied to iLLGT3's topic in Automotive Discussion
-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- Something from the other end of the spectrum from the last picture I posted here. Taken inside the old MG-Rover factory a year after they shut the doors, and there's much more depressing shots like this. As if it was "okay finish your shift and lock the door and throw the key away".- 2,500 replies

There's no Clucking way I'm going to let these happen.
-
100% it was't! Dyslexia kicked in. ;)
-
It's the 1.6 SE, so naturally it has the F20C in it. :lol: It's in original condition, and plan on keeping it like that if i'm honest. New rims top's maybe.(RS Watanabes/Minilights?). Giving it a wee servicing when I get it home(dealing with tax/insurance tomorrow) so back to price them on Wednesday, and I WONT be leaving with a toolbox again.
-
That's where your wrong, I have it on PSP, PC, 360 & now PS2. :lol: Thats the order I got them as well. I bet I'm the only guy on the forum to own it on all format's it was released. ;) Is Tomb Raider good? Was going to get that but herd you could go Goat hunting on FC3 so got that instead. (also It was cheaper) Also, VTEC is waiting to kick in for me...Yo! Honda Civic Aerodeck by CarbonCoffee, on Flickr

It's best to keep them all in a sort of neat order. Well spanners are all just shoved in a draw, likewise stuff like players, snips, etc but I keep the sockets in order of size's & what size it fits(Size of bolt/ size of ratchet or bar). :nods: Real pain otherwise at work. Also forgot, I bough Far Cry 3 as well.

I think my last post here was done while i was under the influence... :lol: Got these today... Toolbox & TDU for PS2 by CarbonCoffee, on Flickr Was meant to get a oil & air filter as well as oil for my mums car, left with the toolbox. And Yes, that's TDU for the PS2, got it for when I'm down in Edinburgh as place i', staying has a PS2.

I'll hopefully be borrowing a GoPro this week and get some filming done for Blown Turbos again. Heading up Deeside & Cainrgorm way for skiing, may as well get some of the epic roads on film to share with you guys. Thats if my rear tyres want to keep grip, running below minimum tread depth at the moment....

Now now girls don't go arguing, I've seen enough of that on Facebook today that it's no longer funny. But i kinda agree a bit, not knocking just when i think of " *put name here*Photography" I do tend to think of a person who do's it for a living(press shots, wedding photos, etc) and not someone doing it as a hobby.

Shameless self-promotion here. Me & a friend have started to do car reviews and general automotive stuff, here's the Facebook page for it, 'Blown Turbos'. Only got 1 video out now but got 3 that are in the process of getting released. Blown Turbos - Facebook :D Were awhere that the logo is very low rent and done on MS Paint. And so far photo's have been taken on my phone, but rest assured we will have some high quality photos taken by our officialy un-official photographer.

Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently! - Part 2
calster17 replied to The Queen's topic in Automotive Discussion
Back in the 60's/70's Europe it was something. The best thing to having a Muscle car engine here in the EU...well not including a Rover V8. Was used in top fords(Grandas & Carpis) as well as AC, TVR' & the Scimitar. As far as I know the engine stopped getting made for EU when fuel injection became the norm.- 3,087 replies

Really small and not really bad, but a car I was going to look at this weekend is't for sale anymore(taken off ebay, not sold). Annoyed as was 95% going to get it...and it's a great, rare little car.

Went into an exam for my college part of the apprenticeship, with all signs pointing to a fail(pre-test's getting me a score of 27% tops...) Walk out with a Merit grade(second best), which is a 75% - 90% pass. Great as have no exams to re-sit, and next one will be sometime in Second year(November or so). Why is it good? Because I fail an exam it means I get a bollocking from work, and means they can get rid of me if they want.(and at the pay I'm getting for an apprentice, do not want that). Also got a next week booked off for holiday, so great way to start it. 20th birthday celebrations on Saturday night(not mine), looking at a car which i'm 90% sure i'll be buying & the fresh dump of heavy snow in the north of Scotland(im in the south at the moment) means that I'll be able to go skiing during the week & not have ton's of people. Life if good.

forza horizon Forza Horizon 2 - Would you want it?
calster17 replied to Eudemon's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Horizon sold well? So will a second one be made? Yup....be much the same as the first? Most likely... different map that's very loosely based on a real place & chances are it'll be another US state, I'm guessing East coast so a southern state. And offer much the same in the way of freedom as the first. Car list will be mostly disappointing adding only a few all new cars to the Forza game's and the rest will be DLC...some just drop top editions of ones in the game & others just a special edition of cars in game, others just brought in from Forza 4/5. Sorry, sound dull but chances are it could be true.
