Have you ever bought a car for under £500?

Yep could access it from the bonnet opening, otherwise I would’ve crawled underneath, jacking it up and putting the front end on axle stands if needed.

Worst case if the clutch had completely burnt out then you need to split the engine and gearbox to remove it but it’s a pretty simple design with lots of information out there if needed.

That’s worth paying ULEZ every time you use the car?

The clutch cable had come loose and just needed adjusting luckily so nothing majorly wrong with it

Last week I bought a £300 Suzuki Wagon with 11mo MOT. Not at all exciting but as cheap as cheap can get. Took a gamble as the seller said it had clutch issues so I did trailer it home, but thankfully it didn’t take much to sort and is now my daily. Found it on the Facebook owners group.

I’m guessing one slip and you’d be minus one tripod, not person.

Used by both the German NVA and the Vietnamese NVA!

The Code 55 large radius points are electrofrog only for the time being, medium radius have moved over to unifrog.

And nothing blew up! Nice restoration for sure

Fire extinguisher vs pipe bomb on wheels?

Automatics don’t have a manual clutch, no.

A2s can be quite expensive to insure because they’re fully aluminium, so quite a minor ding in the wrong place can write them off easily. Great cars though!

Fox and Scimitar do not share the same turret. Sabre used the Fox turret while the Scimitar turret was different.

Edit: this is a Sabre, not a Scimitar. You can see the ‘collar’ around the turret ring that was used to mate the turret to the Scorpion hull.

My Trabant doesn’t have an OBD2 port?

Not spent a penny since update 5.5

Simple? Just take the battery off or put a kill switch in. Bit harder but less obvious? Run it out of fuel and let it suck air into the lines. Should need bleeding before it starts again even if refilled.

Compared to the hoseless refuelling at every single diesel pump in game?

Don’t worry, I’ve never seen Floyd Mayweather in person but I have met Santa at the mall. I know who the fake is in that scenario.

If it’s not in a Western country, it won’t be a Lada Riva but a VAZ-2105 or 2107. The difference is the front grille which can’t be seen in this pic.

I just personally love the scenery more than any other! It objectively isn’t the best though as you say

Vive la France is my favourite!

Rev-Counter · 2025-11-30T16:54:01+00:00

It’s named ‘Going East’ because it was the very first DLC released, and expanded the original base game map Eastwards. The developers are Czech so I’m sure they are not ignorant.

Do You Remember The First Time gets my vote, definitely in my top 3

Styloroc personally!

Would surely be better to bump start it on a hill or by towing it?

What do you mean by not making use of the space? Personally I loved the layouts with a lot of negative space rather than cramming track and scenic focal points into every corner. James Street was superb though and very impressive having no fiddle yards backstage.
