  1. All 41 sub-£400 'art cars' have left scorchio Brighton, bound for the 2750 mile @thedumball trip to Ukraine. First stop? Chunnel.
  2. @amorts A rare one. Great car with a lot of tartan inside, but gearstick too long!
  3. Decorated sub £400 cars so far on @thedumball : Merc W124 'Cole Trickle Days of Chunder', 'gift wrapped' Xsara Picasso ', 'Spitfire' Saab!
  4. @JasHalsey85 @tomwookieford @tiff_tv Pre-owned Golf R32/S3?
  5. @JasHalsey85 @tomwookieford @tiff_tv Evo X manual is good. Subaru decent if you can stand buying something so darn unattractive.
  6. ...except for Zoe Ball. I'm bored of hearing her constantly talk about living in Brighton on the radio. Yes, we know Zoe. Shut it.
  7. It all kicks off at 12 midday on Brighton's Madeira drive. I do believe @thedumball has some hearty contenders this year. Come on down...
  8. @fatmanlittleboy Engines often loosen up after 2,3,5, or 10k miles and thus return better performance and economy.
  9. In Brighton ready for tomorrow's @thedumball - it's going to be an epic roadtrip. Weather feels proper Miami Vice spec.
  10. My Evoque's done almost 1200 miles now and mpg so far averages 34 for shorter journeys (sub 10m trips) & 38.5 motorway. Hope latter improves
  11. Now that's one for @MrJamesMay ...... @Ploggles: @Carpervert having some work done and this just turned up #lagonda twitpic.com/9omriq
  12. @RoyalMail No tracking number unfortunately, as ebay seller just sent them normal parcel post. Frustrating that they have never arrived.
  13. @markriccioni Now they chunky. I'm digging those.
  14. @Touringthecars Do it
  15. @Shaggyfranklin No, because the Cube doesn't exactly torque steer through rubber. They still look new.
  16. @adamnewman Glad you enjoyed the FG Niva trip. Trouble is there's hardly any decent ones out there s'hand
  17. @GreenMotor Not a problem, so long as the website is credited and Adrian Flux Insurance credited for photos @adrianflux
