I hope you don't mind me showing off my Metro in here. Just a couple of photos of the old girl.

Looks very neat mate, is it standard underneath?

Yes, it is pretty much standard stuff, but I do have plans for an increase in power. It isn't going to happen this year though. I hope to strip down the engine and box over the winter, and get it all in tip top condition before upping the boost.

Sensible man

Thanks for the compliments.

That is one hell of a Metro you have there Tim. It looks as though you were in my area recently, as it sounds as though you were at Peter Baldwins rolling road in Wimpole. Give me a shout if you are down this way again so I can come out and see the beast.

You should post pictures of your car on Triple-M. Modified Metro Turbos are like rocking horse shit, so there will be a few people drooling over it.

Yep it was Peter Baldwin that i visited

I'll pop some photos on Triple-M :cool:

I'll be visiting Peter again next month, so I'll drop you an e-mail when i have an exact date and we can meet up for a chat if your free

Are you taking yours to any shows this year?

I should be at MG Saloon day on the 2nd July, and hopefully the BMC/BL Day at Peterborough in August. Are you going to any shows?

I'm planning to attend the Retro Cars Show on the first sunday of July...

They do 1/4 mile action, so I'm hoping to have a bash at the strip.
