Woweee been some time... again... Had a mad rush as we exited 2021. 2022 has quite the foundation. Garage is usable! Classic case; "Friend of friend's uncle's dad's mate's nephew twice removed" tipped us off of a two post ramp that was going to scrap from the local college (they'd...

Recently got a new job which although it takes up more of my free time, actually made me respect what free time I have more making me spend it wiser... So been cracking on with the garage and other shenanigans. Car wise; I treated the GX to a big ol' clean, minor detail and seal. Feat...

I'm glad you enjoyed the read! Nice to know there are sympathisers with my cause haha. Rocket-ship armchairs just don't have that "edge" you get from driving a tin can. I still have no idea why I'm so drawn to Micras specifically; sometimes wish I felt as much for older Fords or Minis, could...

F in the chat boys Nah just kidding... Although my findings are grim. Viewer discretion advised... Warm you up with a first serving of filler and paint... Okay, okay, this isn't so bad yet-.. -... Oh okay hey there. Saw you coming but never mind. Do you want to see me do a magic...

Likewise! When meets are back on we'll have to gang up and annoy everyone aha. Unsure exactly what yet, I'd like to try take a mould of it at least. So we'll see. For now yes, as I think they'd look quite dashing on the Blue one. Although maybe a lighter shade if they go onto the white one.

With the extended daylight hours and eeeeever so slightly warmer weather, also comes the jobs around the house I'd been putting off over winter. As much as I enjoy keeping my other half happy, it's been hard to see the weekends roll by with little progress for the Micra cause ? I've been loving...

Well, been a while. Short while after my last post; living the dream in the green turd, I bought a pair of Fiesta RS Turbo Recaros on Micra rails. Fitted them up and although I'll likely redo the rails when I get round to finally putting them in the white one, they're a huge upgrade from the...

Eeeexcellent.

Well well well... Been a while. Hope you're all keeping safe. Naturally with the current climate things have been quiet and stressful. The Short Story: I didn't have access nor the money to properly tackle either Super S over the last year. But I had a bit of a mad moment with a complete...

Good news. Yesterday I drove out to pick up some original Super S alloys from Ed. 5 of them to be exact. As per British weather standards; it was tipping it down all the way there, all the way back, and for the 5 minutes we were loading the wheels in, it felt the rain and wind both turned up...

Another thing I've been thinking about: I love pressed plates, and both my micras came with a pair on... But for the black one I really want it to look 100% stock and "pure". It's subtle, but I really want to get a plain, 90's period plate, and I found a website that offers just such a font...

I was thinking that... 185/60's were cheaper and we're like X% over original (or w/e it was according to tyre size comparer) and my first though was: "Oh maybe my speedo will read right" I'll bare those wheels in mind for the white one possibly, really want to stay period correct, but I'm dead...

From the one's I've seen over the 2-3 years I've been looking, this one is the best I've seen yet, hence why I jumped on it! Same time as I bought the black one, there was another black one for sale, but he wanted £500 for it looked... a tad swiss cheesy, and that was body shots so I dread to...

Last week, where I live we, had a small monsoon, which not only flooded my work, but also Yin. I looked outside after the rain stopped to see all the windows steamed up. Sh*t! Quickly ran out, checked inside and- yup, cold dank passenger foot spa. Not the optional extra I really wanted. After...

Hi guys, finally thought I should show my face here. I've been lurking around loads over the last 2 years or so, trying to learn as much as I can about Micras, and also have a gander at what y'all up to. Safe to say, I'm pretty excited to be here at last. This might be quite an essay, but I'm...
