A thread for the British denizens of Veeky Forums. Just like the British goverment, we also welcome refugees. We already have a Belgian and an Aussie.
----
Upcoming Brit/o/ Events:
Welsh Togue Run What: Driving around in Wales I guess. Glancing fearfully over our shoulders in case Devil Will shows up. When: June/July Where: To be decided
Ultimate Street Car (USC) What: A car show where loads of chavs show up and show off their Limited Edition Corsas and financed Golfs on airbags. Also drag-racing, live music, and poledancing. Where: Santa Pod Raceway (Northamptonshire) When: 4th-6th August 2017
----
Brit/o/ have just recently had another succesful visit to the venerable Shakespeare County Raceway in April, with 15 people (give or take a few) attending, getting pissed and putting their hopes and dreams into their cars as they lived their lives a quarter mile at a time.
----
Threads are a rarety as we mostly hang out in our own dedicated Slack chat, where we eternally shitpost, have 'bants', swap horrorstories about experiences with Devil Will late at night on mountain roads, and ponder on whether we'd pay £200 to have Holly Willoughby piss on us. If you want in, just post up your email (it can be a throwaway), and you'll be invited in. We do actually discuss things of an automotive nature, don't fear.

Shame, these k11s are the peak of the Micra line, how did Nissan go so downhill from here
Oliver Wilson
It probably wouldn't have gone had in been in better condition but it really was in bad condition. Great car though, would definitely get another to mod.
Benjamin James
>admitting you're this new
Charles Roberts
Daily reminder
Owen Edwards
Still grandma's choice, for that reason I think I would stick with a Starlet, Logo or Charade maybe
What killed it? Rust, suspension problems?
Anthony Sanchez

Good lads
Hunter Russell
brit containment threads are on every board for a reason.
Jonathan Rogers
Rust yeah, everything was on its way out apart from the engine which was absolutely bombproof all the way through.
Samuel Hill
Shouldn't you be not having meets or owning the bad Soarer? You're a bitch nigga

Jaxson Jackson
When we get an IMF loan to pay for our insurance
Lincoln Parker
But the Brits have all ready won. The EUs are still getting all of the paperwork in place to have performance stickers legally
Carter Ward
Pay debnts greez
Andrew Garcia
Who tha fug is Julian, are you slower than more than one Mini with a squeaky throwout bearing?
Xavier Watson
Sad times man, a friend sold his to a banger racer bc it was a 1300 manual 3 door so apparently that is the ideal spec, rip
Cooper Rogers
Mine was only a 1.0 so it wasn't a huge loss, and it was replaced by an AW11 so all is well.
Brody Gomez
I don't know, is it faster? You tell me.
Henry Price
>micra too rusty >buys an mr2

There's two in talks at the moment, one in the South, one in the North.
Mason Gonzalez
good to hear, get some waxoyl or whatever on it dude pls don't let it rust away
Aiden Morgan
Well the general idea is to meet at the top of the mountain and get down without anyone dying
John Morgan
It's coming off of the road soon for all that.
Jace Thompson
sweet, nice to hear about an mr2 that isn't getting shagged by some drift weeaboo or stancer
i would like a bog standard 80s corolla one day but thanks to rwd attracting fags and rust issues all of them will be dead or super expensive soon ;_;
Ayden Garcia
super expensive "soon"
I got news 5 u
Oliver Cruz
Super expensive soon? They're about 2.5x more expensive than they should be already. They're not really any more fun to drive than an AW11, they're just a bit more practical.
Liam Ward
I always liked these
Hunter Roberts
i don't want a ae86 or anything, saw a decent giffer owned 85 ke70 sedan in brown for sale at the side of the road about 3 years ago for £400, i know it's not representative but a man can dream, it was super clean too
Wyatt Hill
Nah, not really, I daily drove an XF-S for two weeks while my dad was on holiday, and it would've have the same V6TT but a smaller car. It was super comfy, don't get me wrong, but driving it was nothing special though. If there's one thing I love about new Jaguar Land Rover cars it's the interior lighting on the gauges and switchgear and around the car. None of that obnoxious orange or green, everything was in a cool light blue. Amazing car to be in a cruise to places in, especially for the money, but as a driving experience it's nothing to write home about. Enjoy it though!
Nathan Reed
Still 164hp. As soon as I get a job again I can start throwing some pennies at the car and get everything sorted to run 1bar boost, which should see me close to, if not over, 190hp.
Angel Collins
>As soon as I get a job again Are you a NEET?
Colton Baker
A NEET AND a TRIPFAG :) :)
Dominic Miller
im getting the xj. thats what i need though - a comfy car. the 3 liter diesel is plenty for dd. getting an e34 540i for them drive feels.
Easton Jackson
I would be down for the Welsh Togue Run providing you guys aren't like /k/...
Jayden Williams
>providing you guys aren't like /k/ This is a valid post. What does Brit/o/ look like?
Josiah Brooks
Yeah, that's what was in the XF. It'll be a great daily. Like, it's a great choice, but I won't be jealous of it because it's not what I personally want in a car. I can appreciate how good a car it is though.
Levi Johnson
I'm uggo so
Jaxson Thomas
Well I guess I have been playing vidya every day while I've been out of work :^)
Software department at my previous place got closed down, and it's surprisingly hard to find a software job in a rundown old mill town. It's looking up though, may have an interview soon. If I get it it'll mean a decent commute to Manchester though, putting miles on the Starlet :(
Adam Butler
Wait, you slept the night in a tent in a field? Did you share a tent with strangers from the Internet?
Joshua Parker
its still funny to get all the chavs with corsas and civics raging when they're beaten by a diesel. oh lord funny days with modern >2 liter diesels.
Gavin Young
I've spent 4 nights total in a field with these guys. I'd share a tent with any of them bar Julian. And even Julian's a good lad.
No one asked, but it seems to be assumed, we do actually have girls come to our meets. At USC there should be ladies from our group willing to pose with your shitbox, too.
Hudson Clark
>tent What's wrong with staying in a hotel or travel lodge?
>ladies from our group pics?
Lucas Carter
We slept a few nights in mostly separate tents all sharing a pitch. One night this year I slept in the Lexus we bought the day before.
Also whacking a trip on because I found my old one and I am filth.
Thomas Richardson
There's no hotel right next to Shakespeare County Raceway. They're not whores for you to pick out bro
Nicholas James
Want either an MR-2 or a Mk6 Fiesta ST for my second motor when the insurance on my current Fiesta runs out next year (will be 22 going on 23 with just over a year of driving xp) On a scale of Mother Theresa to Maddie, how hard will I get fucked by insurance?
Brody Sullivan
What sort of MR2
Brandon Turner
>MR2 or Fiesta ST
Yeah I want a Mazda MX5 or a Volvo XC60.
Luke Scott
The later gen one that doesn't eat itself, post 03 I think
Chase Russell
>The later gen one that doesn't eat itself
None of them eat themselves. The W30 had a few oil issues but that's about it.
Wyatt Hill
I cannot recommend enough of the 2002 Lexus IS200 Sportcross for all your camping and raceway needs.
James Young
>a few oil issues >like the oil turning into grinding paste when the ceramics come into the engine through the exhaust
Connor Gutierrez
I've fallen for the memes then Still looking at getting one about the same age as my current car (04) just for probably lower miles.
Jose Martinez
I'm basically 22, and I've been insuring a Clio RS from when I was 18 and never really got fucked after the first year. Don't have it now though, but last renewable quote (at 20/21) was £330
Carter Gutierrez
I love the Honda Beat and the Iveco Daily
Colton Wright
That's only if people left the original exhaust on which many have since had replaced by dealers.
Wyatt Edwards
>£330 Bollocks. 21-year-olds driving hot hatches are a huge liability. Unless you lied?
