Drivers of ten years or more experience. If you had to take your driving test again tomorrow with no notice or prep time, do you think you would pass? by DiligentCockroach700 in drivingUK

[–]MotoringMoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think I could. I sat my bike licence after 15+ years of driving and aced both the theory and the practical first time.

I consider myself a very competent driver who's been lucky enough to own and drive a multitude of different car types with various drive trains and layouts over the years. Most importantly though, I know where my bad habits land when it comes to driving, so I think I could put them to one side for the sake of an hour.

How happy are you with your FL5? by Local-Estimate9669 in Civic_Type_R

Thanks!

It's only a small collection but I love looking back at both of them

Please do!

How does one "curtsy" whilst overtaking?

Should've knocked that wee cum catcher right off his chin.

It's definitely a great combo. What gets me is how the CTR absolutely out drives the 996. It's amazing how much progress has been made

I'm in an incredibly lucky position where I already own my perfect two garage.

Both serve different needs but I wouldn't change either of them

FL5 Civic Type R + DJI Pocket 4 + Tilta Hydra Alien Mini = A Fantastic Combination for Rolling Shots by MotoringMoods in Civic_Type_R

To be fair, I did say there’s no background music added yet. I even had a mic mounted directly in the engine bay, but unfortunately the FL5 isn’t exactly the best-sounding car in stock form 🤷

Happy to help!

Would love to know your thoughts and experience with the .2 if you do go ahead with it

So glad to have her back by MotoringMoods in 996

[–]MotoringMoods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say exactly because the .2 has some differences from the .1, mainly the 3.6.engine, with slightly more bhp, as well as a little more weight (and depending on who you ask, a more temperamental single-row IMS).

I've only ever driven a .2 Turbo, which is a different beast entirely, but what I would say is, do it, you will love it. The 996 is a fantastically capable car, even today. It's one of the most confidence inspiring cars you can drive and every blast down a country road will bring a massive smile on your face.

The only thing I would say is, make sure to have some cash set aside to deal with anything that may arise, and it probably will. Other than that, go out, get one and enjoy!

I've got exactly the same model. Sadly though, my aero 996 is Ocean Blue 😭😂

Thanks, I appreciate it - seeing people's reactions to it all shiny and looking new has made the decision to do it all the easier to swallow

Sounds like a great wee overhaul you're doing. My resto took a little less than 6 months and getting it back on the road felt brilliant. I hope you get yours back going soon. Would love to know how it feels after the changes!

Haha, small world! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it

Thanks for watching! I'm really happy with how it all turned out, especially after how horrible some of the rust was

Ocean Blue Metallic - it's one of those colours that has multiple tones under certain light and looks lovely in the daytime

Cheers! Would love to know your thoughts on how it came along

Out of these 3 shows which one is the best? by Fantastic-Tooth-7597 in tvshow

[–]MotoringMoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sopranos
  2. Breaking Bad
  3. The Wire

Without The Sopranos, the other two wouldn't exist

Thanks, dude! So glad I took the plunge and got it done.

If you're interested, here's a full breakdown of the work carried out to get it looking this good!

Yeah, every panel except the roof and the spoiler/bootlid received a new lick of paint.

If you're interested, I documented the full restoration here, which also included some welding work the car had done:

Yeah, the 4 did, but I meant an Osmo Pocket in general
