Holds hand up, was down the pub yesterday lunch. Its real difficult when its sunny not to! And besides, theres a pub right by the main gate for work and at the top end of site is the works club, so we have two places to walk to. Am being good today and surfin tinterweb instead!! Nick :cool:

Youre sat at a road junction waiting to turn out of work and a little 10 year old lad stops at the side of the road and says Wow! Then he walks across in front of you and says "Nice car Mate!". Poor little fella even stood there and waited for me to turn right and boot it off so he could hear it go!!! Its good to know there are some appreciative youngsters out there!!! Future Z owner???? Nick :cool:

So at least they can be detected with something! Nick :cool:

Class!!!! Top thread you started Pete!! Nick :cool:

They require training. Mines already used to spanners and can fetch keys and bits for me. Id get him to fetch the beer outta the fridge but he aint tall enough to reach yet. The time will come!!!! Nick :cool:

Oh I remember those kinda nights!!!! Next time Pete, keep em on the breast (not yours obviously before some smart ass quips!) and then it'll always be the missus getting up not you!!!! Nick :cool:

What with this and insurance companies looking at putting trackers in your car to see where youre going (to help keep your premiums down allegedly!) then big brother certainly is watching! Nick :cool:

Pete, Like Iain says, now seems hard but its the easy bit. At least they cant move yet. Thats when the fun starts as everything has to be moved out of kids reach. My lad (nearly 2 years old now, did his first Billing when less than 1!!!!) has taken to dragging chairs and boxes and stuff to whatever he wants and climbing up on them. We caught him (just in time thank god) on the work surface opening an upper cupboard this week!!! The sleeping doesnt get much easier though, despite going to bed at 8 our lad thinks its great to get up at 5.30am!!! Still its all worth it and I wouldnt be without him at all. Nick :cool:

Mike, I fitted a pair of FIAM twin air horns last year. Made a bracket up to hide the horns so you cant see them when you look at the front of the car, but still so they expell the noise nicely. Then mounted the compressor under the headlamp panel so I can get to it if theres a problem. They are loud as hell and for 15 sheets are very befitting of the car. Nick :cool:

Be aware, be very aware!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae_news_story.php?id=49696 Nick :cool:

Seeing as no ones said it yet, I'll raise a hand for Proxes. Love em to bits. Am even gonna replace the bridgestones on my everyday motor with some when they get to that point!!! Nick :cool:

You soppy sod duffers! Well done though mate! Nick :cool:

Have you had a gearbox swop or work on it?? Check the exhaust mount for the centre section is fitted. It attaches on a little bracket to the back of the gearbox. Mine was missing and made a clunk everytime I accelerated hard. Couple of quid for a bracket from AndyZ and all is quiet again. Hope that helps. Nick :cool:

Guess this is the latest enhancement for the lovely MR2!!!! Whada think Adam??? Nick :cool:

I am hoping to get there for the 30th, other commitments allowing. Practised and raced there many times when I was into all that stuff and it is a top circuit fro both racing and spectating. Nick :cool:

Well done to both of you mate! Now the good times start, kids are just a laugh to have!! Nick :cool:

Close but Ferruccio inherited the Lambo tractor business from his family. He was a kind of playboy before there were playboys. He wanted a certain model Ferrari (cant remember which), but Enzo said there was a waiting list which he would have to join. They had a big falling out so Feruc, being the bloke he was, thought *****s to you. Using the company money he set up his own sports car compnay to make a car, faster and more powerful than the Smiths red offering and thus the great Italian battle was born!! And they do still make Lambo tractors as theres a guy near us with one and its awesome. In fact he even ran in the stock class at the tractor pull over the weekend. Lovely silver machine. Nick :cool:

I'm sure that Spykers been around before. Interior was terrible, but the idea was good. Front quarter shot showed there was a massive difference between front and rear track width though. 130k is a lot of Z mods just ask Iain!!! :D Nick :cool:

Have been offered some nearly new Khans, with boots, off a 156, at handy money, to go on my everyday rover 827 but had a feeling they were 5 stud and my rover is 4. Oh well. Cheers for that. Nick :cool:

Chris, Can you confirm that the alfa wheels are 5 stud for me please. Ta Nick :cool:

:eek: :eek: Nick :cool:

You can get some top up freezer tins from Maplins and you'll need an adaptor to mate up it, totals about 18 quid, cheap and easy way to top it up! Loads of lads done it over on the rover forum. Nick :cool:

Cheers Iain. Been a strange old few weeks for all the family. Was a tad ironic that you posted this after such an event so top marks for giving em up and I hope you stay off em mate. Nick

:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: Duffffeeeerrrrsssssss, thats terrible!

Stick at it Iain. Just cremated my father in law last week, he smoked 40 a day til they gave him lung cancer then a brain tumour. Diagnosed in March, dead in June. He died having just had his 59th birthday. It wasnt nice for him, and it wasnt nice for the rest of us. So keep off em mate, you know it makes sense. ;) Nick
