Gambit

Sapphire Cosworths One of my 1st dream cars along with the Escort Cossies. And very nice look Scoob nice to see some pictures up 1st too :) you must have looked at other posts , and welcome to S.O.C

As said above mate, with new turbo engine cars the days of sitting to let it cool isn't important as it used to be but I have a turbo timer and will use it after some spirited driving or track day. But like Stants said just staying off boost before your going to turn the car off is fine. Bov some cars can have them others will maybe get a running issue I have found it's more of a problem with classics than the new age but isn't uncommon for a car to run badly with one from time to time. Both car in the garage have one one is standard and the other one is tuned both run fine with them on. And I'd agree with stants on the Alternator will give the battery more power when it needs it or something like that. I think it was Johnnyb (not seen him for awhile) said you need lights on or a stereo to keep the battery charged when driving it or the alternator seems to not power it enough. I had a problem with the blobeye had to keep my side lights on to keep the battery charged otherwise it would only be putting out 11.5 when it should be 14 to put charge into the battery. If that makes sense lol

Yeah

I wanted the Black but missus bought me it and said she wasn't paying the money for the black so I ended up with the white :D

I wanted to capture the engine noises and stuff mainly :) I do have an open backed door thing that might be better will test that 1st :)

If it's been well looked after we have a couple of members with milage over 200k still going strong. But like my car is showing 120k on the clock but I've had a rebuild done so it's only really about 60k now since I had it done. Really it's more important to have lot's of reliable service history if going private I find. I'd be careful though seen two members on here buy cars that's had engine rebuilds done by a part time diy car mechanic for the engines to let go 3 weeks later because they didn't know what they was doing. And always check for the Head Gaskets or anything that looks like it's maybe gone with private sales too.

Looking at the chaps ebay feedback does look like he buys and sells cars. And not very good at it either, I'd not risk it myself.

Lol an eventful drive :) Well I've set my gopro up but get loads of other noise from the dash think I'll need to reset it somewhere else :(

Yeah I got it all ages ago mate meant to post it up before but kept forgetting and drinking and eating I even feel massive now :D But thanks had a pretty good new year and Christmas just want some snow to play in now ;) Hope you and your's have had an equally good one too :)
