With the arrival of the very sexy Teslar http://www.teslamotors.com What sort of electric motor powers this car, and could I fit one in a caterham - Locost type car? Anyone know anything about electric motors?

My uncle has just retired and is looking for a classic car to restore as a hobby to keep him busy. He wants RWD - convertable - manual - and nothing new - it has to be 50's, 60's or 70's latest.... (remember he is an old codger). With a budget of upto 5k All I can think of is a Triumph Stag, Fiat 124 or Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger. I dont think condition is all important - because he has pleanty of time to kill now. Can you think of anything else to suggest.

can anyone recomend a good fast HD . not sure i want to pay loads for a Ratpor drive, but looking for around 150gb what is the difference between SATA and SATA II

Ive just driven back from my ladies, on a 40mph road, doing exactly 40. As cameras about. The road im on is the main road, so cars coming form either side roads would need to stop and then turn onto the main road. Literally 20ft before the left road, a stupid little p***k on a 125 crosser with L plates, just blasted straight across the front of the zed over the main road and carried on the road to my right. I didnt even have a chance to break, how the hell i didnt whack him, i must have missed him by less than a foot!!!!! F***ing MADMAN. Im still shaking........... Its youngsters like this that will definately become a statistic.

anyone believe that these people can tell you things from beyond the grave, i believe, even more so now, went to see one last nite (well me and 7 other peeps) got told some things that rang true, also got told something that no one else knows about, how could he have known?????

For those that don't know Skype is a free to download program similar to MSN Messenger but allows you to make phone calls for free to other users of Skype. You can also call normal phones at reduced rates (Including internationally), for example I have just had an 8 minute phone call to courtesyparts and it cost me absolutely nothing. So can a mod possibly sticky this thread somewhere so that all willing members can post up there contact addresses?

Any general advice? My brother bought a T reg laguna 1.8 16v last week and drove it to wales and back. On the way back the power steering bacame intermittant and now doesnt work. I have looked at the setup and it appears to be bog standard pas with no electrics etc. Checked the fuses and the variable pas one doesnt have a fuse holder, like the heated seats ones that are extras the car doesnt have. The fluid level is bang on the high mark which is where is was when we bought it, speedo working all ok. The pump is spinning ok on the aux belt and isnt making any odd sounds etc? I'm thinking it might be the pump, or even a blockage? Do they have any valves…

damn it, just been sin binned :( anyone else had this happen to them and how long does it last for? :headvswal:rant::headvswal

When this happens I get something at the bottom of the screen saying (66 items remaining (the number is a random one)) Downloading picture etc etc. Does anyone know why this might happen?

Hi all, for those of you that know me you'll know that me and Andrea have decided to split up :cry:, we've been apart for 6 weeks now and we've started to do stuff on a weekend together as a family no strings attatched. Anyway my question is, do you think its too early to start looking for someone else? i mean like i say we're doing things together but nothing serious and she keeps saying she's gonna think about getting back together but only slowly, i'm still REALLY upset about it as is she. please give me your honest opinions (serious only please) opinions. Many thanks, Chris.

I know its a long shot but i'm after a specific number plate as the wife has nicked my private plate for her mini :smw: I'm after either K1 RBS which is on an Audi A3 TDI, dont have anymore details other than that The other is K11 RBS which is on an Volvo 940 SE again have no more details If anyone is driving round town and spots this car and can pass on my number as i will happily buy the plate off them and cover all the costs etc then theres a reward in it for the person :D Or if theres anyone who can point me in another direction so i can find out so i can write to the owners? Long shot i know but hey worth it ;) Thanks Mike

I don't eat out often but I enjoy reading the menus to see what concoctions are available for my delectation. Below are just a few 'starters' and perhaps you may be able to add to them. WILD MUSHROOMS. Where do they get them from? Are they a particular breed called wild? Do they grow wild? Do the chefs rush out early in the morning to collect them before everyone else gets up? DRIZZLED WITH. What's wrong with poured over? HAND CUT CHIPS. WTF? WILD ROCKET. As mushrooms or do they all rush out the day after bonfire night and collect up all the fallen rockets before the little kids get out. Am I wrong? Do you take notice of this flowery pr…
