Hello all you oldies. Great to see 3 new posts on the forum . I'm now 48! Im in a love hate relationship. Hate the rallye then love it again, i hate it just now as i have to fork out 1000's more on a paint job. Currently looking for bits to complete, simple thing like a radiator is non existent so i hate that as well. I moved house in November to the country so got a huge shed with the house, perfect for my cars. Have my oaky 16v and an 8v daily hack, found a bbm for 500 notes which i don't need but cant resist at that price, just needs front jacking points and TLC so a long term thing. Just sold the 32 last night, I'm not paying 570 a year road tax, lovely car but fk that. Not too keen on the shows either anymore, only do Elsecar as its a good crowd and like to see what my rallye can or could be. One decent show up in Scotland is clean fest but that's getting to the credit card cars now also. My girls are 14 & 17 now so plenty time to waste more coin on the cars.

Anyone have a tatty set of 15" standard RM laying about? Not fussed what they look like as long as they have caps and hold air. Not willing to pay over a grand for a fancy wide polished set. Thanks

I really cant decide what im doing with this. But the idots who slate the car on the sale posts have forced me into finishing it (again) Its up the road at home, was stopped off at jabba for mapping and made 212hp. Booked for paint in april.

I had the same issue I bought a pump from halfords that has a screw on hose/pipe, worked a treat.

Here's the car as it stands now. All the metal work is complete, running gear all installed with new bushes, engine is in and running but has electrical issues which are currently getting looked at. Car requires mapped and painted then assembled after paint. I've blown my budget so will probably bring it home to store it or will sell it for 19000 now with collection from Exeter.

Will the edition 1 be for sale or are you keeping it? For me it would be a UR Quattro, such an icon of a car.

All on FB rallye page

A proper job been done, metal work complete. Quality workmanship, looks like a Rallye again

Got fed up posting all over the globe with zip replies so sold the wheels.

Simeon, decent rant but I need to correct you that when your in your 30's your not an old man. I'm closer to 50 than 40 and still class myself as yoof! I can relate to what you say and unfortunately I'm on FB but only for the car parts and such, but i find myself getting wound up most of the time. Cnts cant help themselves. An example, a guy had a lovely set of RM for sale at a decent price. First 2 comments - FFS budget tyres, blah blah. Next one - poverty spec wheels. I really dislike it but that's where 99% of cars and parts are for sale these days. Yes, shame Dubforce is quiet now, was a great forum years ago. I still like a post or 2 to let folk know what a state of a car I bought and how it's coming back to life, not sure who reads it but none the less i still like to contribute to the forum. Can't you find more storage, you know that if you sell up, it's only a matter of time before your looking again!

no longer looking, sold the wheels

Surely someone knows of a set?

SOLD
