Re: How local?

I'm in Leeds with occasional visits to Teesside and Lincolnshire.

I know most of you probably know this, but I still live in hope of meeting somebody other than Cat (who I converted to Minors* so I wasn't alone)

Re: 2011 classic car show NEC auto jumble

Any member attending the show could have visited the club stand where free tea / coffee / orange juice was provided, along with biscuits and a good natter. We were told that we were the friendliest stand in the show. There were biscuits?! My diet would've flown out the window had I known (probably ...

Disabled Minor

Hello all! I've been meaning to post for ages, but I believe I am the owner of a disabled minor? She is trafalgar blue, 1969 (YPE 449G) with the folding/sliding seats and plain door cards. The gear stick seems to be slightly higher than normal also. I bought her from CW in 2009 and I was genuinely u...

Re: 2011 classic car show NEC auto jumble

XRC 314H

We've just bought this lovely little gem for the housemate from somebody who has only had it 4 weeks but has to sell due to circumstances.

Does anyone know anything about it?

Ta! x

Oh dear - Charles Ware - and lots of problems. Where have I heard that before! ? Oh really :( I understand that you aren't allowed to say negative things, but I think my general consensus would be "some warranties aren't what they should be" I'm just lucky I've just fallen on my feet and ...

I'm just 21, with no claims, and I've been driving less than a year, and I pay 700 fully comp/uk and eu breakdown cover/key cover/windscreen cover with Aviva (they do it through Adrian Flux)

Try them. x

I'm Steph, 21 and living in Leeds as a student!

I've got a Trafalgar Blue 1969 2 door called Peggy that I bought from Charles Wares MM Centre in Bristol in July.

Absolutely love her, even though she is driving me up the wall at the moment with all her problems!

Car won't stop overheating!

Hi, sorry for my lack of technical knowledge before I start writing this, but I'm at my wits end as to what to do! 3 weeks ago I was driving home from Sheff to Leeds, and the car started to lose power (as though you are driving in too high a gear) and then there was a sweet smell/steam coming from u...
