    OcUK HQ Motors Meet Take 4 - Cars, Computers & More - Saturday 25th May 2024

    Only show cars are guaranteed a space. If a visitor then it’s advised to aim for around 10am arrival but as we will have general footfall on the day once visitor parking is full then I’m afraid parking will have to be found elsewhere. Closest alternative parking is Autobrite and then Morrisons...

    Caterham Time…!

    Truly awesome cars, easily the most fun car ever on a track or empty car park. :D Was a brief ownership but a free one, purchased on 1200 miles for £39,800 and sold back to original owner on 2500 miles and a few track days for £39,500, best £300 I ever spent. :D It was too nice to live...

    The 50k 10 Year Project / Show Car

    E30 325i Sport Manual Mtec II Either keep stock and fully restore it so perfect body/interior. Or get an E30 2DR body, drop in an S50B30/32 from an E36 M3 so 280-330HP, about 1100kg. Or if feeling rather crazy, drop in the V10 M5 engine, its not easy but it can do be done.

    Hi there Trying to decide which between these pair is a winner is not only a great dilemma to have but a real tough one: I even sit hearing contemplating what to type, I guess the first thing to do is just put down some quick model/spec info: 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena Manual 3.6l V8...

    Its a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a new yellow CryptoClaren!

    It is something that is missed on many cars and hence why smart top I guess sell a lot of the dongles. I believe newer McLarens models do have this coded from factory now. I did mine a couple of weeks back and continued the McLaren cable tidy fetish and added a few more cable ties for good...

    WBAC Values

    To be honest I've heard a similar across all price range estimates from Motorway in recent months that the true actual BIDs come in quite short of their estimate.

    2023 Track Day Thread

    Cup2 is a good tyre for Road/Track, but only road use in Summer months, they can really struggle to get heat into on cold wet Winter days, though less of an issue in a FWD car unless it has a real tendency for snap oversteer. If just light track work then PS4S is a good all rounder but will...

    WBAC Values

    When I sold my 458, I tried Motorway and they came back saying 117k. The best actual offer was 105k. Then a few days later a Ferrari dealer rang me directly offering 110k, so was obviously one bidding on Motorway, so I guess it can be worth putting a car on these platforms, just make sure you...

    V8 manual the slowest but probably the most fun, but also mainly purchased simply for its rarity of colour (velvet purple). I’ve just happened to really fall it, probably prefer it as a rounded package over my 360. If you want performance get the V10 S-Tronic bonkers fast but too fast to enjoy...

    Toyota Yaris GR4 4x4 Rally going into production.....

    Contrary to dreamers I only see the MK2 helping MK1 values but as with any car if you can get out of it for what you paid, you might as well do so, you got to enjoy those 2000 miles and it was pretty much free motoring. Once MK2 hits, the shortages set in and people start asking overs the...

    Is it time to ban LED Headlights

    When I borrowed a McLaren Artura and drove it at night it’s LED headlights were insanely bright great when your driving as they made night driving so easy. But around half of drivers were flashing me thinking I had full beams on I had to resort flashing back my actual full beams to vaporise...

    Took the Alpine for a 100 mile hoon around the Peaks, pretty quiet roads, the handling can only be described as pretty much perfection. I love how you can absolutely be so rough with it and just throw it into corner so aggressively, it’s not drift machine but it does make exactly what you...
