After 16 months i'm now BACK into Vickstars old Coupe! Its either been a long time or the previous only has really worked hard but ooh my... the power of that thing! For a 20v N/A (VIS) It really flies! I was shocked by the difference to that and the Alfa.

Glad to be back though Truly lovely car!


On another note... anyone know how i can peel stickers off without damaging the paint work?

congratulations!

Just warm then up with a hair dryer, then peel them off.

Any sticky residue try using a tar remover, failing that, meths.

Then wax polish as the meths will have removed all previous polish.

Lighter fuel is excellent for glue residue removal too - followed by Pete's tip re a good polishing.

Welcome back!

Re stickers, I'd just paint over them, the whole car red, best colour don't you know!

Ahha, your back!

I new you were going to buy it back!

Photos needed!

Congratulations

WD40 removes sticky residue without harming the paint, and the smell, Mmmmmm, love the smell of the stuff.

Stickers have all come off! and with no damage to paint work!

Well done and welcome back!!

Even AG Resin Polish will bring sticky stuff off with the Petroleum distillate in it

I wondered who owned that atrocious coloured vehicle in the car park ! I spotted you opening the taps this morning.

I am looking out of my window at work and its pretty obvious you wanted it "spotted".

Now take it away as its making me jealous*


* of buying a turbo of course, not a N/A

I wouldnt say i was really "opening the taps" just giving it a bit of a blip between speed bumps and i have to park it on the other side of the car park as i cant get over that big speed bump going out, only in!

Although I am glad it's been spotted now as it's been parked under trees in the far flung cover of the car park...


P.S Did you see me driving from the window or outside? As i want to know how loud it is? Because i cant remember it being that loud!

I clocked it Monday I heard it from the other side of the car park, sounded alright to me.

Then thats good! Actually louder then i thought! Although i would like the speed bumps in front of the building removed so i can boot it under the canopy for an in tunnel almost effect but i reckon security would tell me off!

Ahwell, i've enjoyed booting it now and i'm back in drive slowly/eco/cant be bothered mode!

Plus getting 36 mpg compared to the Alfa's 28 mpg!

I agree.
