Ben bought me my new one :p :lol:

I agree. It's always been my favourite Evo :cool:

My boss used to have a Works Cooper S. It was lovely. She had every optional extra money could buy but it went back to BMW every month for one problem or another. It was quick and very comfortable and a car I wouldn't have said 'no' to myself but seeing my bosses experience has put me off...

You do realise that unless you actually stand beside your car permanently people will just think you're one of those tw@ts who wants to drive a Type R but can only afford the jacket :lol: You get it a lot with Subaru 'owners' :roll: :lol:

How could you do this to me?! :smt005 If only I wasn't 2 weeks from giving birth and taking a year off work! I'd be prepared to sell everything to buy that! I wonder how much money is left in Ben's budget for my Christmas present......... :wink: :lol:

I've always wanted an R33 8) , except I wanted it in that purple colour. Seeing this has totally changed my mind. I wonder how many white ones there are left in this condition tho?! :lol: :lol:

That is a beautiful machine :smt118 . I'm SO jealous :x :lol: :lol:

I like it ALOT 8) :D :D

I'd go with what Scouse says. My CTR went in for a service in March. When I got it home it had a big scratch along the front bumper (they washed the car and I assume it happened then). I rang the dealer and the service manager asked me to bring the car back. He was very nice but also made me...

I like the black ones best... Btw, you've blanked your plate out on all the photos except the last ones... :idea: Just thought I'd mention it incase you're a bit security conscious :D

Wow :shock: , what a transformation! 8) 8) :D

I certainly do!!! Wow, what a small world 8) :D

This is a blast from the past! My username was KT106. At the time I was a member I drove a 106 Quicksilver. I found out about the site because I used to see a white Fiesta XR2i on the way to work - it was Jo (I think she was staff too?) I can't remember her username tho :smt017 I suppose I...

I used to be a member on Girlracer and attend their meets. This is awful :shock: They obviously thought she was more vulnerable, being a girl. Was the meet at South Mimms i.e. did these people probably plan this or do you think it was just chancers?

Is this denting your ego Dotty? Get over it! :P :lol:

As a named driver he doesn't get the benefit of no claims to reduce the premium :lol:

Ben was 17 when he picked up his CTR. Altho the rules on insurance has changed a bit in the last couple of years. I got a quote the other day for a Astra VXR. Fully comp it came out at £600. Add Ben... £3,500 :shock: :shock: :lol: It's kind of nice being an old bird :wink: :D

Wait til you drive one. It's so different to being the passenger 8) :D

Thank you :D You're right, a house over your head is more important than a car. I won't be driving a Renault forever... I hope :shock: :D

Ah bless aren't you considerate. My CTR was the first to go! :shock: Altho Ben did sell his a couple of month later, so I can't complain :lol: Sell them both, buy a house and share a new CTR when they come out? That's our plan 8) :D

Lucky bastid :x :wink: :lol:

I agree, for him to have admitted it is a good thing. On this basis I reckon the address is probably genuine. Good luck!

I might check that out :D

I like that a lot! :D Particularly the colour - I know, I know that's such a girly thing to say :lol: A set of those wheels would certainly brighten up the appearance of mine! What are they? :?:

And they insure under 21s :D

No, but I respect that he doesn't want me to use it. He's pretty easy going and doesn't stop me doing anything. Except this, so it's the least I can do :D

I think a chatroom's a good idea especially as my boss has said he'd prefer me not to use msn. I have nobody to talk to during the day now :( :lol:

What a good idea! Then I won't have to watch when mine shows 50,000 :shock: :lol: which it's going to do shortly!

As the title suggests :lol: :lol:

:shock: That's quite a list of mods!!! :shock:

So this scheme's a load of bollox then :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did that include labour tho? £85 in the happiness scheme thingy includes labour.

Some more info for those who have cars over 3 years old... ‘Honda Happiness’ is Honda’s new fixed price repairs programme for Hondas over three years old. The Honda Happiness scheme is the first of its kind in the market, and offers services like a basic vehicle check for just £65, or...

Has anyone heard of or joined this scheme? My car's going in for a service on Tuesday and I know that I'm going to be told that I need new brake discs. I just called for a quote on these and she said I'm looking at £400 fitted....however, if I join their Honda Happiness Scheme they'll do...

Ooops I thought facelift started at 03 :? Shows I know naff all :lol:

That's not from an 03 CTR, they look like this...

Oooh I didn't notice this thread before, I've had lots of tyres on my CTR!!: Bridgestone Potenzas Very slippery when wet - oooh er :wink: I didn't feel confident with these tyres on my car at all, althought they lasted to well over 20k miles. Falken ZE512 - £140 for the pair incl...

Me no like.

Same here. I've been saying that for the past 10 Sundays!! :shock: :lol:

I've managed to shave £1 off that! :wink: :D £85 incl VAT, fitting, balancing etc at R M Tyres 8)

Greenlight have beaten all my renewal quotes and protected my no claims so I'm well chuffed. In case anybody cares... I'm 24 with 7 years no claims (protected), got tinted windows (which can cause major problems nowdays) and an SP30. £787 :D :D

Registered - March 2002 Current mileage - 44,000 Pretty average :D

It's seriously up for sale for 19k?? :shock: But why?! Apart from the yellow it's not different from a standard one right?

Bit off subject! How much did it cost? All four of my wheels need completely refurbishing! It's something I must get done as I think the state of them would put people off when I come to selling it.

How's everyone got on with A-Plan? Did they reduce your premium? I'm having a bad day today!! I can't seem to get quoted less than about £950 :shock: Last year I insured it for less than £900 :evil: PLUS I'm 25 in a few months!!! I think I'll give A-Plan a call...

KPro? :idea:

That's disgusting, how on earth could they have given that back thinking it was running right!! :shock:

I didn't have to re-teach my windows? :? And it went dead regularly!!!

My battery suddenly went flat just after last Christmas turns out I actually needed a new battery but I made it last until a couple of months ago! I took it out and charged it but it never properly held it's charge. It couldn't hack the cold weather again :lol: I didn't have to re-set...

That's awful :shock: He must of been absolutely terrified :(

I got an invite aswell. Ben tore it up :shock: :lol: :lol: So my answer will be no, I won't be going to the launch :lol:

I didn't need an airfilter coz of my kit so that may have reduced it a bit? :?

Second service. My dealer are really quite cheap! My third was only £193 and that included new wipers all round.

Didn't supply oil. IIRC service was around the £120 mark.

The lengths men go to just to see a bit of breastage eh?! :roll: :lol: :lol:

In the bin? :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the advice :D I'm quite thick when it comes to engine oil. I keep it topped up but never really understand why I use the oil I do! I just use what my dealer told me to! This helps :D

Somebody needs a little more practice reversing onto his drive :wink: :wink: :lol: Looks very, very clean :shock: :D 8)

Me too. 15 minutes of driving and I'm at work!!! :lol:

Ben got his off ebay :D

That is a very good pic. You lucky things, you :wink: :lol:

Will the alarm still work with the lack of fuse?!

:? :? :? The '02 alarm deadlocks on one click.

I've got a silver disklok too. Anything like this is a deterent nowdays. The way I see it if my car was parked next to one without a disklok thieves are gonna go for that one rather than mine. However I'd say that without keys the CTR is pretty hard to nick anyway.

Same here. Mine has always deadlocked on one click. Ben's doesn't. He has to push the button twice - something he's only recently found out :wink: :lol: :lol:

Got my Pug 106 tinted by a company in Bexley village and the CTR tinted by a company in Wilmington (all in Kent if you're not familiar). Can't remember the names of either! But do have telephone numbers if you're interested. Both companies charged me £150 for the whole car (front windows...

Don't I know it. No matter how many spaces there are people always park next to me! :evil:

The turning circle of the car is one of the most annoying things about it. I'm sure the people at work think I can't drive properly. To turn out of work I have to do a virtual 360 degree turn and I end up driving round the whole car park to do it!! It's highly embarrassing! :oops: :lol: :lol:

Or the fact there's no front number plate. It looks sleeker for it 8)

I have to say my Honda dealer are great. Altho I may have to take that back now the CTR has no warranty. They'll probably take me for everything I own when I drop it in for it's next service! You're millions of miles away Cat but for anyone down South G & M Motors in Gravesend are...

Maybe your wheels need balancing? TBH I've never had this problem. KT x

I did about 20k in my first year. It's slowed this year tho due to lack of funds for petrol. I used to go Pod alot and took it to a few more shows in the first year. Mine's an '02 and is now on 39k. KT x

It's one of those Premier's isn't it? I've only seen 1 other one of these :oops: Very nice! KT x

Fkin hell!! You mean business don't you?! :shock: I'll take about an hour, maybe 2 if I do the inside aswell. KT x

I've had my BMC induction kit on my car about 18 months/20,000 miles now. I'm wondering if it's about time I changed the filter/cleaned it. You can buy washes for these can't you? :? Sorry, typical girly question. And you'll probably tell me I should have changed the filter a long time...

I know exactly where you mean. There's a bump in the road on the roundabout at J4 that throws the car no matter how fast you're going!! It didn't happen there tho, it was on the way back from Maidstone. His car landed facing me, in my lane! :shock: KT x

Ben had a little accident in his car at the weekend :roll: He lost the backend on a roundabout and went into the barriers. Very luckily he wasn't hurt. It happened in the middle of Saturday night (so nobody was around) on one of those big roundabouts over the motorway and at the time all I...

My engine is disgusting it looks like the car has done 100k miles. I might have to get some of this Gunk. KT x
