Gareth, wait until the spring or summer. We often get really good turn outs of Cossies/RST's......Quite a few local RS (Weston S-M) owners as well as Bristol peeps and Yeovil possie, some even travel from as far as away as Exmouth/Exeter, especially on the last Sunday of each month..........

I might post up that pic of RobS and Rhys cars being filmed at Weston last summer

sorry to hear that mate.

im in a similar situation but through a schoolboy error, ive fitted a new engine to my 3door, went to fire it up today only to find out its got the wrong flywheel on it, doh!

cause my clutch bolted straight up to it i assume it was a standard cossie flywheel but clearly it isnt, doh!
Got to take it out now to swap the flywheel over from the old engine now, not good!

Not heard them called a galanza before, you learn something new everyday

Is that like the shogun/pajero where its the same car but a different name or are there some actual differences to them too?

Sorry, our fault (Chip, Creedy and Me)

We were in Pizza Hut and did notice a Series 1 with lights on parked up next to Chip's Alfa..........and then later saw you leave. Has your car got shiney/chrome type wheels now? (i.e. not the ones on your sig).
