Gregorio was the ultimate F1 fan. He had all the videos and went to all the races. Unfortunately, he passed away and went up to heaven. When he arrived at the gates of heaven he came across St Peter. "Greetings Gregorio, we have been expecting you" St Peter said. Gregorio asked St Peter... "What is heaven like then?" St Peter replied "All the greats are here, Fangio, Gilles Villeneuve, Jimmy Clark, Ayrton Senna and they all race here on the replicas of the great tracks." "Senna racing with Villeneuve and Clark? This is my idea of heaven!" Gregorio exclaimed. "Exactly!" St Peter replied. …

okay you lot, the new server is almost ready to go. but, first of all, i want to run some ideas by you, and get a bit of feedback 1) All of the new forums will be empty to start with. I will import GENERAL, TECHNICAL and EVENTS into an archived section of the new board, which will be read only, when i have got some support feedback on the next part.... 2) The only user accounts that will be created on the new board will be subscribed members. All others will have to register themselves again. The reason for this is because it is the quickest/easiest way to remove all of the old users, aliases, mistakes. 3) Have a think about the User Titles that you wa…

Stupid me has damaged the ecu chip when removing it (I was intending to socket it). It was an original Nissan chip for a Japanese auto TT, the code number on the chip is M105ADA5. Does anyone have a copy of the program code which they can e-mail me.

When I remove the petrol cap there is a rush of air into the tank. Do I need a new petrol cap as there appears to be a one way valve in the cap that may be sticking. Alternatively does the tank have a breather pipe, and if so where does it terminate? ------------------

Picked my car up from C&S Woods garage in Astley a couple of days ago. Its just been fitted with a Stillen front end and headlight panel, Veilside side skirts and 18" split rim alloys. I was amazed at how great the car looked, both inside and out. Absolute top job was done by Phil. Whatever i asked him to do (and there was a lot!) got done, NO HASSLES! Good garages are hard to come by and even though i live 250 miles south of manchester i will always use them. Keep up the good work guys. Will post piccies soon.

There are more Vids here: http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/default.asp?l=eng&Sub=3&SubSub=2 , but they are all of various Porsche models - but hey, we all like fast cars right?
