    Type R and VTEC owners

    I've had my DC5 for nearly 6 years - it is SORN at the moment (MOT lapsed last June), currently on 65,500ish miles and sits in my garage on charge. Gets turned over and moved around fairly frequently when I need to do stuff in the garage. Imported via Torque GT in 2018. It really needs a few...

    How are people affording cars?

    Don’t post here much but this I feel is the answer…. 3 for now. New kitchen, house modifications/maintenance and my two children are not cheap. I own my fun/enthusiast car outright and have a loan on my family car. Far from overstretched and cautious after being made redundant a few years...

    How did you find overclockers? website I mean

    I remember the company from what must have been the early 2000’s and by the mid-2000’s I was living nearby in Trentham. Now live 5 mins away from the current shop, so tend to buy bits and pieces from OCUK as I can click and collect. Overclockers and Autobrite seem to be two of the notable...

    What is your car(s) and how much did you pay for it/them.

    2001 DC5 Integra Type R, 63k miles, imported early 2018 for £11k. 2015 F10 530d Luxury OAP trim, 28k miles, bought September ‘21. £21k ( :eek:!!!) but ‘only’ cost 10k to change from an early 2013 Honda CR-V with 46k miles. I like them both.

    Standard of driving in the UK going downhill.

    Agreed! Normally I’ll shrug and get on with my day.

    Standard of driving in the UK going downhill.

    Had someone cut me up on the exit to a roundabout this morning by overtaking me and cutting in front on the exit. To be fair he put his hand up, it’s a weird roundabout and I just shook my head. Turns out it was another parent at my sons school after I followed him there :rolleyes: :o Told...

    DVLA provisional license clarification

    Try emailing them. I had a V5 and tax problem resolved pretty quickly back in March this year.

    For those who love their SUVs

    Had a Honda CRV for a few years. Two young children so easy to get them in and buckle them up. Swallowed everything for holidays, trips to the tip were easy etc etc I came to like it but the soft suspension eventually gave my daughter car sickness so I got rid. Didn’t love it, it just did...

    What annoys you about your current car?

    F10 530d - start stop is a bit too intrusive but I’ve only had the car a couple of weeks. Other than that nothing else, yet. DC5 Integra - rattles. As I’m getting older it’s a bit too ‘on top’ for me. Big wing and all that haha

    WBAC Values

    Having had a bad experience going to pick up a car 100 miles away in Feb this year, I’ll never put a deposit on, nor buy a car remotely and without a test drive ever again. I know good buys can be had but id just rather inspect the car myself now and make sure I’m happy.

    petrol stations price discussion (was ‘chaos’)

    I put half a tank of Vpower into my car last night at 160.1. Can’t remember the last time I put fuel in (second car plus I wfh) but it was probably 1.30 ish.

    Advise

    If it’s any use in the case of my two imports the digital odo switched from km to miles, but the old type with the turning numbers just started counting in miles. carvx can do a check online - auction history and so on. £25 and takes roughly a day.

    The Not NC500 Scotland Trip

    Brings back memories of a trip up that way that I took back in 2004(ish). Loved the roads up there even in a lowly 2001 Civic coupe. Did Fort William to Mallaig, Skye via the bridge with the ferry back to mallaig, FW to Dornoch and so on. Will no doubt be returning whilst towing a tourer so...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Washed, applied some BH Korrosol and clayed the F10 530d I’ve recently purchased and happy the paint is in good enough shape for 6 years old. Need to make time to remove a little bit of tar I’ve found low down and apply proper protection before winter arrives. Put some petrol in my Integra...
