seen this a few times red cinq with a big sticker in back window saying retro rebel and what looked like a bike can or a savage type backbox. on the a690 nere new branspeth

yo dude, that would be me that you have seen, yeah its a motor bike rear silencer thats fittted, i go past that way everyday (work at spennymoor), so which car do you own? the yellow cinq sporting i have seen, or the black cinq?

hi i drive the black sporting with rear tints and a fiatforum sticker on the back windows. the first time i saw you you were parked at the side of the road with the bonnet up was gonna stop but was late for work. so where are you from then. i live in brandon

yeah man thats when i blew the engine up had to leave it at the road side til later in the day! i live at sacriston, so not to far from you really!:slayer:

nah not far atall sacriston to spenny every days a canny treck tho isntit

yeah bout 30 min drive really by the time av gt through nevilles cross! so you get to any car meets or anything?

I have to travel about the same time to wolsingham every day gets abit boring after a while. I dont realy go to meets cant find any deacent ones close by and all the lads i used to cruise around with havnt got cars at the min. gilesgate is suposed to be good on a sunday. might have a look up there ive heard some ppl there drive round like loony tunes.

yeah gilesgate used to be busy as hell, the police have closed most of it dwn now, but me and me mates still go up and park outside pc world, jst for the crack really!, yeah there are some radgey drivers go around the meets which is slightly annoying!

might try and get up on sunday see what its like if ive got any money for petrol. just payed 60 quid to get my 1242 engine deliverd depending on when that turns up i might be out all weekend fitting the fooker haha bet it p155es down

the cinq engine and the likes really are a piece off **** to chnage, did mine (899 swap) in just over 4 hours frm start to finish at work one saturday when the boss was away!! this weekend i have the joys of fitting, a gearbox, 2 front struts, 2 bottom arms and a rear trailing arm to my cinq, god its all expense from the little bugger.....

yip mine is costing me a fortune 1 thing after another next is 2 tyres and tracking then try and fix the damage i caused by driving over a big hole nere stonebridge petrol station,

yeah man there an endless money pit, but not as much as my classic mini(6k and counting on a full rebuild) yeah i cant believe theyve gone to all that hassle just to put a bus lane in down at stone bridge! bloody bus's! yeah im running on steels at the fornt because they wanted 56 quid each for the correct size tyres for cinq sporting wheels! so ive managed to get some 175/50 13;s from a supplier at work!

mine has got 175/60 on were on when i got it must of been easier to get than the 165/55. i found som **** federal tyres on tinternet 33quid deliverd to ya door. might get them just for now keep mr plod happy.supose the bus lane will come in handy on second thaughts no it wont all it will do is get the bus to roundabout quicker just for no1 to let it past haha
