Firstly (I have posted this in the correct area of the forum too but this is a little more active) -

Does anyone know a source for stick-on number plates (you know - the ones that so many kit cars have on the bonnet to prevent them hitting the ground when mounted at the bottom of the car)?

Example can be seen here -

Any help much appreciated.

Secondly, hello to Alez. Sorry to hear about the problems you have been having recently with my/your car. How is the transmission now?

On the clutch it looks like you have the answers you need but the friction plates and springs in your car were replaced and the steels had all blue-ing (which was light) removed with wet 'n dry about two months (and 200 miles) before you took her off my hands. So, depending on your mileage, it might be about time you replaced them again.

Please can you reduce the size of your avater, it's far to big

If you can't do it you can send the image to me and i'll reduce it for you.

Cheers

Now don't get me wrong, I have much love for Knightrider but that's a touch OTT!

I have a mate who works in a printers/graphics shop, can ask him for you. But arnt they illegal for road use. If not could start up a buisness here.

Cheers Tom

I'm VERY happy with the car, transmission was repaired by a specialist so it's a runner again, I'll be looking to fix the clutch next week (as I get slip only if I push hard and weather this weekend says I'll be taking her out all the time), thank you for the info on steel plates

BTW you wouldn't believe how exclusive is this car here, I could have never imagined. I could tell millions of silly stories, funny stories and all sorts of stories about how people react when they see the car. Last one I was in a 2 x 3 lane street in Madrid when I hear a loud speaker yelling "eeeeeh woooo that's cooool", guess what, a guy driving an ambulance. Yesterday a woman offered her brand new C4 in exchange, said to her OK but it didn't work

What about you? Where did you put the cash and how quick is it?

PS: it was about time you posted something!

Good to hear you are enjoying the car. Have you actually managed to approve/register the car for use in Spain or are you an outlaw?

I put the money towards two cars actually. I am going back to Uni to be a teacher so I need a commuter car that doesn't bore me to tears.

So, I now have a Peugeot 306 GTI6 and a Mk.1 (1986) Toyota MR2. I wasn't planning to get the Toyota but I saw a mint one in the Autotrader and couldn't resist!
It may look like a wedge of cheese but the handling and turn-in are superb so I am growing to love it.
19 years old and everything works, electric everything and it feels nicer in every respect than my 7 year old Peugeot!

We live and learn....and what we mainly learn is...never buy a French car unless it is a diesel and you are happy for every non-essential item on the car to break or malfunction!

> Have you actually managed to approve/register the car for use in Spain or are you an outlaw?

Not anymore! The car is now registered, MOTed and insured here in Spain

> 19 years old and everything works, electric everything

Same as my Golf mk2, my one has electric nothing but claims no attention other than gas, water and oil, those are cars. I wouldn't mind getting a MR2, I also like the Honda CRX, they are old but nice cars. That said, the MR2 is mid engined RWD while the CRX is neither, has the looks only..

Cheers,

Alex
