When it came back the clutch was slipping so the production company paid out for it to be transported south to have a green box valeo fitted and shipped it back north.
cool beans boss well least the clutch was done and its yours and not big steves raider for a change, cant wait to watch tonight love the golf mk1 but a bonus yours being on it too, how did they approach to borrow it:agree:Quote:

also saw a phase 1 when they were in the track, no wonder they dobe the clutch and that many miles:laugh:
You could tell ant loved that R5..bet they gave it some beans.. When they pulled off from viewing that golf..saw a big puff off clutch smoke..not used the springy clutch pedal I bet lol...lovely looking standard 5Quote:

To be honest, last week's on the police car show was pretty much boring. I found my self logging on doing work whilst it was the TV. :coffee:

Oh right, so I'm not the only one left feeling a tad deflated from last Sunday's
show :( I would have loved to see the VW restored to a proper standard car,
because I feel it would have made much more at auction. It would have given
us a better indicator of the market. They did mention in passing that a tidy
R5GTT can make £10K. Well, that's its minimum resto costs, if you're serious.
The problem is that no-one wants to spend the kind of money that's paid out
for very dodgy, and metal that's definitely not original, Fords of the same era.
Last Sunday's result was a bit skewed, bearing in mind who the eventual buyer
was. I too am hoping it gets a bit more interesting from here on.
Regards,
Steve
Whilst it was awesome seeing a 5GTT on a telly, I am rapidly going off this show. The first series wasnt bad, it did seem to cover a bit of the resto & history etc, but im not overly impressed so far with the current series. Philip just seems such a miserable person and doesnt seem to know much about cars. Ant on the other hand does seem to know his beans.
I suspect that show was a set up from the off.
They seemed to not show much of the restoration process, painted it a horrible colour that was of the guys choosing. let him rag the nuts off it, then put it into auction with dirt up the side of it. - why would you do that unless you wanted to limit the market down to your already chosen buyer?
so who brought it ross??:coffee:
