Modena, Italy: The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire Pit- Crew Yesterday. The announcement was followed by Ferrari's Decision to take advantage of the English Government's "Work For the Dole" Scheme and hire unemployed youths from Liverpool. The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent .. documentary on how unemployed youths in Liverpool were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds. This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari Management, as most races are won & lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage o…

Subject: FW: The clever girl with the lighter shade of hair A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handy-woman, and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch," he said; "How much will you charge me?" The blonde, after looking about, responded, "How about $50?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and other materials that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize t…

I'm off over there on Sunday for this "run what you brung" thing.. anybody else going?

I was happily driving along in my TT 300 down the M4 to Reading and, with the road being empty I decided to release my stress and floor it. Around the 130mph mark, big grin on my face I saw the unmistakeable blue flashing lights of the old bill behind me in one of these 'rapid response' police scoobys they have. "Shitte!"..for a few seconds I thought of outrunning him, but Mr Sensible took over and I decided to slow done, pull over and take the fine. Having stopped, the police man walked over and started to look around car.."Its nice" he said "I've always admired these cars, and as I have had a good day, have a lovely house and kids, I'll let you off with a warning ONLY …

Can anyone help with a quick question about oil? I want to order some oil from Shell this morning but could do with some advice. I've got a '91 Jap TT Auto with about 70K on the clock and want to put the oil in that will be the 'best for the engine', and not necessarilly the 'best oil', if that makes sense. I've been recomended by the guy's at Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 fully synthetic, but from past experience know that fully synthetic oil can sometimes be too good and may be better off with 10w-40 Helix Plus semi synthetic, as the Helix Ultra maybe too thin. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Nij

Months ago you said you had pics of your car,and you would scan them into your rides.

I have recently acquired a UK 300 TT. Today I noticed the engine was lumpy at up to 1500 rpm when cold, B4 i thought there was a slight uneveness at tickover but not like today. When the engine heats up it sounds ok and the lumpy tickover isnt there. I pulled out all the sparkplugs tonight, they are all fine and have recently been changed. The only other thing i noticed was the plugs onto the coils are broken and maybee I thought not giving a good connection but no difference when i pushed them onto the coils. Any ideas anyone, I think a crypton tune to hopefully show up a weak coil or something like that as i dont think its terminal. Cheers John Crisp

Just remembered, when i was fitting bushes to my motorbike shocks i used hot water(not quite boiling) to soak the bushes in to soften them. this makes them much more plyable. with a touch of grese in the tension rod hole, a hos bush and a big vice they should slip in a treat! Hope this will help some one who is sweating there ass of trying to get them in! Kris ------------------
