The mk5

Just a quick note to say that I've had a call from the body shop and the good news is that she`ll be in primer by next week!! This may be the year the old girl finally gets on the road.

Re: Pat's MK5

Iain, It's good to hear fron you again. I totally agree with you. That's why I posted "Activity". This site is a really good way for Davrian owners and enthusiasts to discuss the mark. Personally, My friends and family are getting bored to tears with me going on about this-as yet-ficticiou...

Re: Activity

Mapped Mini engine? Sounds like you getting real technical with it. Good to hear the MOT was a success and the tyres you got should give ample grip in the dry. I contacted the body shop today and they told me it will be done in two months. Then all I have to do is wire up engine and all other electr...

Re: Activity

Damn! I don't think I've seen either of your cars before but I must say they are probably the best examples of both models I've ever seen. I've plenty of phtos and many in the flesh, even at Longleat and none of them were up to the standard of yours. Seeing your MK5 makes me even more determined to ...

Re: Activity

Just checked out the MK8. Very nice. You must have spent a lot of time and effort on it. Puts my MK5 to shame. It's still in the body where it's been for almost a year now! As usual with my car all other (easier) jobs get priority. Same with the engine. And exhaust. And driveshafts etc, etc, etc. Yo...

Re: Activity

Yeh I have had the same problem with the site. I'm based down in Ashford, Kent. Whereabouts are you and do you have a Davrian? If so what you got and what is the spec/status?

Activity

I know I'm only a new member of this forum but I am surprised that there is so little activity on here. I go to check out what people are up to on a regular basis but very little seems to be said. I for one am passionate about the mark and have been for most of my life since going to race meetings w...

Re: Pat's MK5

Iain, Great to be in touch with someone from the 'old days'. Even if you did stray for a while with the Darrian. Where abouts are you living now? From memory you were in Scotland last time we met. If your not and within striking distance of Kent then give me a shout and I'll show you the old girl. L...
