aye, but be careful, friday and saturday nights and the police have all kinds of traps on the A127 as u approch Southend now
First off they like to place a mobile gatso right under the 40 limit sign as u come in, most ppl slow to 40 mph once they are past that sign cos they know there is a fixed camera about 200 yds down but by law you are meant to be down to 40 mph at the sign
So the mobile gatso gets u for speeding
Then they also have a ANPS van sitting about 100 yds down from that, it checks for your tax and insurance, two patrol cars lay in wait 1/4 mile down from that to nick ya if u have no tax / insurance.
Then there is the mobile MOT unit that is available down the front, any car that looks or sounds as if it would not pass an MOT, they direct it to a side street where u get an instant MOT, if it fails your car gets a prohibition order slapped on it and you are not allowd to drive it home, it has to be trailered and MOTed within 14 days of the prohibition order or you get fined.
and then of course there is all the speed cameras, mobile and fixed in and around southend, the place really is like taking candy off of kids for the traffic police. |

Got any inside pics?
Looks very tidy, I'd be so tempted to stick some clear indicators on it but I think the totally standard look suits it!
Are you happy with it now or do you still have plans? |

thanks mate i'm going to keep the lights standard,the inside is standard but i take out the back seats to do the 1/4. but there are some more plans for the engine
tubular manifold
big bore turbo elbow and down pipe combined
paddle clutch(i've got a fast road but it close to the limit of it)
wind up the boost for some more power
then get a power run
have you got any plans for your car in the new year mate |

My 19 16v cost £200 off eBay so its just a rag around really. Need to service it when I get a dry day and change the belt.
Looking for something else, not sure what though! Probably another Valver, cabby maybe. |

Nice 2 c uv kept urs in mint con matey, there wernt any wer i cum from until recently wen 1 guy got a red one then mines got written off and another guy got a white one the exact same as urs but he seems 2 b letting it fall 2 fuck now, dont get me wrong it wasnt in mint con 2 start off with but now it looks like a heap of shite now, mines wasnt standard but wasnt in mint con either but at least i looked after mines wenever anything went wrong i always got it fixed (Chris H as my witness, as it was him that done most of the work.........cheers chris  ) i would buy that white one up here in a second if it wer going for the right price
