So I did. It was a 'G' plate import, going for the princely sum of £3795 Anyway, I got there, and well, was dissapointed. The rear hatch had been resprayed, poorly, could see run underneath some cracks. The spoiler had been painted, and was cracked to bits. Still, all trivial. We got to mileage, he says it only has 55k km's on it. Great I thought, till I looked inside, the leather was in real bad condition, I mean real bad. My probe has done 115k miles and the leather is only worn in one place and it is by no means bad. The leather was ripped in many places, and really crumpled. I ask if the miles are genuine, he says "yeah I see your p…

Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for NorthWest Gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house." (The Daily Telegraph) Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole salami in her knickers. When asked why, she said it was because she was missing her Italian boyfriend.

Wondered if you'd like to share your greatest error of judgement. Here's mine. It's a sad tale. Traded in my 1.1 Fiesta for it. Drove it. Broke it at 142 MPH on a private test track in Scotland. New engine, turbo and huge bill. Broke it for good finally in Norfolk. Drove it into some holidaymakers Rover along a country lane, luckily they didn't get hurt. A good 6 years ago now. Not proud. Very painful. Any more? :mac1:

Did anyone see the program about speed cameras the other night. I missed it but I've been told that they said at the end that if anyone knew of any Cameras not meeting the governments critiria they would remove them. 1) does anyone Know the critiria? 2) If we are aware of synically placed revenue collecting machines ( speed camaras placed to collect money not save lives) Then why don't we name them and get other clubs to do the same and send them to the BEEB I'm no eco terrorist but, I have got to the point where I don't know anyone who has not been done by these things. Including my mother and she's a pensioner FFS. Oh ye and wh…

As my driving is abominable, I have been thinking of going on one of those track day/ race driving type courses (where you get to drive someone elses nice car, instead of pranging your own). Has anyone tried one? or are you all track-day heroes and need no tuition. Are they any good? and do I want to steer clear of the Red letter Day kind - 'drive a ferarri for the day'? My driving really is appalling and I do need to be told how to drive the thing properly.

Got my HICAS eliminator bar from courtesy now, so hopefully going to get it fitted soon. Thing is I want to remove all the crap from under the bonnet that goes with it. Anyone know if I can block the high pressure outlet from the pump, or does that dead head it? I'm thinking if the same HP supply feeds the front steering rack then it'd be OK to block it. Either that or fit an NA steering pump I suppose - anyone got one lying around?

OMG!! The biggest woman in the world is from Holland. She is 7'4" tall & weighs in at 320 lbs. (23 stone) Now BEFORE you look at her pictures (attached), get a good mental picture of what you think a 23 stone woman looks like. And see how it compares with the attached piccies: :D

Went down the tattooists on Friday afternoon with my girl to both get some work done and.....I'm well pleased with the results! Went for the Eye of Horus in black, approx 11x8cm between my shoulderblades (see Avatar!). Been wanting this done since I was 18 and I'm sooo chuffed! Mind you my girls design looks pretty damn fine as well...;) (and before you ask, no we didn't get matching ones!)...Just thought I'd share. Leigh.

My car isn't the nicest one around, its pretty stock, I have however spent a lot of money getting the bodywork pretty much mint in time for a new spoiler and a few other mods, Park up today and to my horror see a massive dent in the front wing, no idea how it got there and noone has owned up to it, will probably need the wing replacing. Not happy at all, I'm in the process of stepping up the property ladder and this is making me consider repairing and selling, Why can't people own up to this? its their fault not mine, now I have to pay for their damn mistake :(

Anyone want to post up their results from Thor, I'll make an excel spread sheet like Ryan did for the SE RR. I think the only thing that will be different between auto's and manuals is the ft/lb torque as I think the auto's were tested in 2nd and the manuals in 4th. Here's mine 368.9 ft/lb Torque @ 72mph @ 3910rpm 355.2 HP @ 124mph @ 6692rpm Mods Apexi induction Pipecraft straight though 2.5" zorst (no cats) Blitz SBC-iD running 16.61 psi
