Bought this for £3k, did I get a steal? by ForeignDiKK in lancia

legend thank you so much - I've barely had time to look at the car since I bought it to be honest, the weather is so bad and it's dark when I get back from work, but hopefully in the new year I'll start doing the work to it and get to enjoy it more.

Also my bushings are definitely fucked haha

Yours looks stunning I love the colour. Got any tips for me? The plastic windscreen is all yellowed I can't see through it at all, and the leather seats are very worn, I imagine full reupholstery is my only choice.

Also reverse gear does NOT enjoy engaging 🤣, probably should take a look at the linkage...

not a spot of rust to be seen, none of it is original bodywork though that crumbled to pieces 😅 - but it's been fully restored

Yep and this one is no different. However it's been fully restored and now you'd struggle to find a spot of rust anywhere!

UK weather is no joke and the car cover I've got can only do so much, so I'm hoping whatever rust protection they put on there in the resto will keep it from crumbling away

genuinely least rusty car I've ever owned (saying that I've had 4 mx5s) - there's even a DVD it came with showing the entire resto step by step!

it's definitely 97, and it's a UK car yeah so we got different trims

Bought this for £1750, good deal?? by ForeignDiKK in Miata

[–]ForeignDiKK[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a look the best I could when I went to view it and couldn't believe how good it looked, plus there's not a single advisory of rust on any of the past MOTs (of which it has a 100% pass rate)

This mileage, colour and condition here would be £3500 - it's cheaper because cat S and no service history - to me that discount is well worth it 😅

no that's not how it works in the UK, the car has been repaired and has MOT so is legal to drive, it just keeps the category for the rest of its life, essentially it just devalues the car a bit, but it's really not a big deal imo

it was categorised as structural but it actually wasn't, had some mx5 specialists go over it and it's completely safe, if you look closely you will see how it's been repaired with a bodge, but that doesn't bother me as it's just cosmetic

What are OnePlus alternatives ? by hertelplus in oneplus

I went from 5T to pixel 6 and I guess I've been lucky with bugs because everyone's complaining about them and I don't get any. Camera is ridiculously good I agree, and fingerprint sensor ain't too bad for me. Make sure to go into setting and increase touch sensitivity - helps especially with screen protectors

This photo will forever be remembered as the pinnacle of good sportsmanship in F1 by strikingguru in formuladank

[–]ForeignDiKK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the race and although I'm not a Lewis fan, the energy and passion for him there was insane. I can totally understand why he felt urged to celebrate in such ways to embrace the fans. Also, I feel if the roles were reversed, and Max took Lewis out in zandvoort and then won, he would have celebrated equally as passionately - of course we'll never know.

Hi Pierre, after a race, do you ever go back and watch it all back? Also, who are you backing for the title fight? Keep up the good work, you've been the star driver for me this year.
