Well if you want people to know who you are then why not post a mugshot here, this is me, Alec, one of the 4 Directors, fat, balding cockney with a Silver (now Red) Rat car who keeps offering you Doughnuts or Biscuits and this is my car ( No. 19 this year in the TSS, No. 42 last year) at one of its favourite places as it looked (Dirty!) at JapFest After I crashed it I replaced it with a red one

OK, i decided that I'd start a thread dedicated to Initial D.

Decided to replace my can of goo with something a bit more useful, it had been reported that an Imprezza 16" space saver would fit (originally it was thought a Prius one would as well but apparently it fouled the calipers on the front) so I went for a tour of some scrappies and got this (be careful there are some that touch the caliper and late Imprezza's had a bigger diameter for the studs 114mm rather than 100mm) Tried it on the front to make sure it cleared It's a 135/70 16 Fits in the hole OK when you remove the polystyrene liner, apparently the screw for the Aygo is just right for securing it

Well after a false start with some initial doubts about the fittings I have just fitted the bonnet struts that Fat Rab brought down with him that we got from Chris at Tarmac Sportz Note to get mine to fit like in the pictures on the other forum I had to mix the fittings, so Drivers side I used the one labelled L on the bonnet and R on the wing (see photos), checked operation and clearance when closing and everything seems good. Only tool you really need a 12mm ring spanner, though a ratcheting one helps to get to the bolts in the wings Did do the double spanner trick with a standard spanner though to crack it loose All done. look Ma no hands Nice easy fit, only the 4 bolts to undo

Thought I'd introduce myself, just paid the deposit on this, hope to pick it up soon, anyone on here seen it about (apart from Rich as it passed through RRG Macc's hands at one point)

Spent the day not working watching the Euros, football being another passion of mine Alec

Should be along in the Red Alec

Here's the old one http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/24108626 Will be interested to see how much it goes for

Well having been through the hell of finding out whether I was going to get banned or not yesterday and having to give the courtesy car back tomorrow, thought I'd do something to cheer myself up. Guess I'll have to order a Red Hoodie next time you do an order ! Alec

For recording those 86's that suffered at the hands of their owners so their memory will live on (I loved my Silver)

Where's the photo evidence Joe ?

Starter for 10, a rear end into Kit on the A43 going to Japfest 2016, looks like she's going to be written off (she was now on Copart auction site here, http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/24108626 as of 19/5/16 @ £2100 with 5 days to go)
