Anyone 'willy'ing to rate the top 5 examples of Williams amongst our members?
If you want to post piccies to show your car off for us, go post em on the piccies section for us to gawk at and admire/criticise.
..sorry if this is a gay post...I'm bored. :roll:
Big-Hp's williams reigns the best in my books
must admit. you could eat your dinner out of scotts(big hp) engine bay!!!
Scotts everytime, wont even hold another williams close to it for fear of it dying of embaressment :P

I'd have to say that Scott's would have to be the best I've "seen". Went round his house lat sat to pick up at sticker, and was surprised at just how much minter his car is compared to mine! :shock: Ah well...at least I've got a target to go for... :lol: Watch this space! :P Willy3ams car is a very nice example too.
Its got to be Winstons Illiams surely!
What about Andy's? iver never actually seen it but theres always the banter about how its never driven and wrapped up in cotton wool! Could be sheer sarcasm though lol
hmmmmmmmmmm.........controversial. lol
hmmmmmmmmmm.........controversial. lol
Yea I know, had to be done :D

Depends on your definition of 'Best example'?
Best one i have seen was 2live's a few years ago at York.

what about Gaz's? seen that in the flesh and it looked like it was just out of the box! and no, im not referring to his 'nana' haha

03-03-2007, 11:50
Gaz's or Andys in my opinion, I've seeen HP's and its great, but these two take the piss
as matt says tho.....defenition of best??
best = all original
or
most recently painted
or
most polished
or
fastest
or
combination of above.
im being biased here...but i must admit mine is one of the cleanest untouched examples iv seen around for quite a few years now. most have had bodywork somewhere along the line.
now mine isnt the mintiest lookin one around...but id dare say its one of the most original bodywork wise.
best ones I have seen in the flesh in no particular order are 2 lives, Andy's, Gaz's and Scott's... you'd be hard pushed to say which is the cleanest example, dont think any one of them has any rust and all look showroom standard.
At a push I'd have to say 2 lives just because it's a Willy one and it's pretty much 100% original bar alloy refurb
and ph2 grill :wink:
Gaz or Andy's has got to be the best low mileage cars I've seen personally....of the driven cars 2live's and Scott's are very clean.
lol^^ it hasnt got a ph2 grille on any longer mate.;)
altho that was due to aesthetic reasons on my part....i think the ph2 one looks loads better than the ph1. the only bit of ph2 trim i prefer to ph1 tbh.
it even has the original gearbox back in it too now. lol.
engine mite be next on the scene. then susp ;)
Its got to be Winstons Illiams surely!
Knowist lol
My votes on big hp's .....gets driven and used and it's still silly clean and fast :P .....What mileage is it on Scott?
I don't see the thrill in low mileage TBH ...don't get me started :twisted:
2live ...Ph2 grille kills it for me :P
Good Shizzz Jon!!..... PH1 Rules
The thread tittle says best WILLIAMS ...non of this 2 and 3 Shizzzz :twisted:

Also being the only williams in north yorkshire i dont see many of u floating about... :lol:
well theres plenty in west yorks mate...and just over the border in lancs ;)
i think 0051 is the best example around at mo tho .............lmao

FCS here we come! I'm prepared to take scotts minter on :wink:
I know for one thing that 001 hasnt had the best respray ever.
Which is a bit shit.
Only ever seen Andy's at WSR last year, that seemed pretty spot on
There must be a minimum mileage to which members must drive their cars in order to qualify, as whats the point in owning a car which isnt driven?
^lol forgot about your Jamie was looking clean at the meet....
Needed a few dents and rust imo :P
It would be nice to see some flattering piccies with these cars being mentioned...hard for us newbies to know whos car is whos.

0051

For me its andys, and gaz's that are the best in the club imo.
Outside wc its 0001 ! STUNNING
Paint - my view is that i would of rather it of had paint that rust showing and going terminal.
Andys done a years mileage for him in a month since its now his everyday car and gaz's is very very impressive everytime i see it. Look after them lads.
I liked Craig100's aswell. That was a great example.
Jas - yours is looking mint!!!
to be fair tho mate...anyone can keep a dry stored example clean.
the real mission is to use one and keep it loookin minty fresh...now thats hard lol.
and as u know...........personally, i feel that originality is better than new paint, again.anyone can get a car resprayed/touched up to look mint, but keeping it original is where the hard work is. as u know urself too..
not dissin andys or gazs in this respect, as they are both very clean cars, but again...gazs isnt even straight, unless hes had the rear 1/4 sorted....
new paint doesnt make a minter.
I think we know where your vote goes 2live :wink:
my votes goin nowhere til iv seen all the entrants lol.
but if we are going off which one looks the mintest..i know where my vote lays.....and tbh.....its no1s off this site.

clearly your talking about my old Willy 2 then, original paint and no rust and 50k in 3 years ;) lol

Of course, 0002.
Mat.
even that is questionable though, it's not perfect just like 0001 isn't either.
read the post mate...if its for mintiest lookin...not the most original. ;)

When Rob was living in Norwich, I have to admit he really did look after his cars. Replacing old parts for new at no expense. Every single bolt was purchsed from reno. The cars he was working on looked immaculate. Never saw 0002 but i would say outside of WC (besides no 0001) this would be the best. FCS will be interesting this year. Can't wait to see everyone there. :D

yeah he does certainly look after them to be fair, he has the time now he's not making 8000 posts a month on here :lol:
where's he moved to? please say the earths core or the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? :lol:
What's the best way to go about cleaning the engine bay on these cars fellas, seen some good pics on here, mine could do with tidying up a bit...

8000 posts? I thought it was more like 12,000 and that's when he's not talking about gold paint and the benifits of 185's over the rest of the world :D
He lives in Staffordshire these days. Can only presume he's back at his parents since the Uni-reasearch lab ended his contract. Don't speak to him anymore, afraid to say he argues too much with me. I will be putting his car to shame come FCS. So Rob if you're watching game on! :D
sounds like they have run out of drugs to test on him... maybe his mental state will find some form of acceptable normality now :lol:
Actually, I've just cleaned my Clio and I think it's a pretty damn good one :)
Few little details to see to though...
average :wink:
tbh mate...majority of them are now.
average :wink:
tbh mate...majority of them are now.
By the definition of the word, there's no doubting most of them will be average :wink:
most are ****ed actually looking at the general state of them, it's only the owners club ones that get looked after. There's three local to me, Willy 1 that's a shed and 2 Willy 2's both having seen better days. General condition of them on here are very good imo
as jesus says.a lot of them are in a poor state.
average williams to me...is one that has had arches done, or they seriously need doing, or sills, with a respray on the cards or just done. but generally still quite tidy. if u know wot i mean.
Yeah, I know what you mean. To me it's everything - the condition of the interior (no scuffed plastics or grubby carpets), state of the wheels, apearance of the bodywork (deep finish to the paintwork, black plastics and clear lights and no rust, stone chips or scatches) and the cleanliness and lack of errosion in the engine bay and underneath.
I know we disagree here, but I don't see a problem with a respray unless the rest of the car (underneath, in the engine bay, on the tailgate and doors) is still rusty n ropey. So you should be able to spot a shed that's had a resprayed a mile off because it still won't be a mint example :)
no rust??
lol
thats way above average imo...a clio with no rust has been dry stored in a heated garage n never moved since new, with waxoil used evry 6 months.
i dare say that evry williams will have a spot of rust somewhere. tailgate, arches, floor, hidden by sound deadening/underseal, bulkhead, behind lights.
unless its been masked of course ;)
Sorry, I meant that's what I think the best should be like, not an average one!
0001 was a eye opener - totally mindblowing to see a asnew williams (bar a stone chip on the bonnet)

that and the ill fitting body panels, but if it wasn't for that it would be as you say, 'new'. Paint work was stunning, I just expect it to be 100% perfect, the rear quarter gaps to the tailgate and bumper were different at each side for some reason though.... which was a massive shame :(
Perhaps the manufacturing process was still being refined whilst the first few cars rolled out. :?:
How long did renault own 0001 before they started taking it to FCS etc? Over the winter these problems with it may have been fixed? Sure we'll find out this coming show season! (note to Northy, get in before cliosport this time to get it on stand for FCS :wink: )

that's a possibility, it was about half an inch difference though, I noticed it straight away, so did 2 live and his missus... in fact did you get pics Jon?

It's only a Renault.
Mat.
no excuse, it should be spot on imo... oh well, doesn't bother me either way, if I had it the ****er would get tracked :lol:

I agree, It's only an enthusiast who will keep on top of a Williams to keep it mint, some people aren't willing to invest time and money to keep on top of things , even small things like stone chips and parking dents, that's why there are some right sheds around.
Anyway this one gets my vote....

Thats a peach, is it for sale?
It was last year....cheap aswell from memory.
Poor car.
Well, I'm hopefully in the market for a Williams again soon once I get this court action out of the way...

some parking dents.....and all stonechips need paint....some ppl prefer to have the au naturale look rather than false loveliness ;)
its like the stunning lookin model, with all her make up on...see her without, shes just another ordinary girl, a stunning lookin girl without make up however.........is a true beauty.
Actually, I've just cleaned my Clio and I think it's a pretty damn good one :)

Yep, yours is a good'un Zollo. You fixed that passenger seat belt clasp bit yet?
