Well I'll be taking it easy in the wet, I'll need to drive it for a while til I'm used to the handling. My previous fwd car is very forgiving - It will not lose grip however hard u try (unless you were to induce some left foot breaking to loosen the back end up), although the body roll is excessive!...

Thanks James, don't think I've ever seen them before! I know of a set for sale including tyres for £75.. I'll have to see how my finances are though, even though it seems a bargain! Well I shall be at the meet as long as Sunday goes ok, I can't see there being any problems.. already transferred insu...

Good idea Duvel!

C'mon, we all knew them pics were in the first V3M meet topic anyway :wink: but they do look good, and probably the best style. Does anyone know what the "Antares" late 440 alloy looks like, I can't find a pic and I know of a set for sale - bet they're them bloody multispoke ones! James, where will ...

Couldn't them 440 GLT alloys magically find themselves on the 360 before Sunday Seen a few 360s with them, they would look good on the 360, and are really cheap and widely available

So I've heard about the twitchyness... If I like the car after driving it a few miles and decide to keep it for a while, I might buy a set of late 440 alloys and decent tyres as they can look quite nice!

Think I need to be learning oversteer in a deserted area or something!

Im in Yardley, just off the A45.. about 3 miles from the airport if that means anything to you!

Grrr these people with turbos!!

Can't wait to drive one for myself - sounds like good fun, never heard a B200 running before though, so dont know what they sound like atall! Even the 1.4s we had were pretty good from a standstill, with nowhere near as much wheel spin as the front wheel drive cars I've experienced (with similar pow...

Glad the B200E is better on shorter stints - I shouldn't really be buying a car like this as I do mainly town driving, with a bit of dual carriageway in between - oh well! Should be farily good on the motorway though. It'll be interesting driving the 360, as to me they will probably be very fast com...

haha fair enough!

I thought the old rads were different - but now I can be sure! I think theres still one in the shed from an '82 345!

Dare I ask what happened to the rad?

[about a car sold on Ebay] A reg would be '83/'84.. but still B19 then! I thought it couldn't run on unleaded, which it actually states in the ad! I had a 1986 Metro that needed LRP, that was a pain to get and that was about 2 years ago. But look at it.....

Steve

Hi James,

Do you still have any exhaust parts available? The 360 I should be getting next Sunday (woohoo) needs a middle section, and probably a backbox too - not seen how bad the backbox is yet though.

Steve

I know V3M is such a great resource! I'll definitely keep you all posted as to what happens.

Steve

Ok then :D Well if we said Oxford, Oxford train station (or near) would be best for me as I will be travelling by train. At the earliest I could do Thursday or Friday evening, but Sunday would be my preference. If you'd prefer to discuss this by email, my email address is drhbanger@hotmail.com Thank...
