Any free flowing exhaust can rob you of power, especially lower down the rev range as it can cause the engine to run rich or lean.

LOL I'll show you how to make one out of a beer can. Smokes real smooth too.

I'm with Nelson - it does all come down to biology. Richard Dawkins explained it all in The Selfish Gene. Neo-Darwinism holds the answers.

I work the benefits system. And the fruitys. And the scratchys.

Oohhhh.. he beat me to it - I was going to type that as well.

I've thought about stopping to take a photo of the people who operate those 'safety camera vans' or whatever they are called. They're happy to take pics of us doing 80mph and get us done but I bet they'd be less chuffed if we put their pics on a website or something.

I've looked and looked at NSXs - they are gorgeous. They hold their value too well though - although autos can be had cheap. The interior's a bit dull but I'd still love one.

The Zen Garage place is a little north of Skegness (roughly) so quite far north.

Wise, tolerant words there mate. :bow: And I'm so sorry to hear about your father too. That must have been terrible.

I think moderate Muslims should speak out and act against hard line terrorists who call themselves Muslim. Otherwise they risk (rightly or wrongly) all being tarred by the same brush. From what I've read of Islaam (the five pillars etc), it's a benevolent religion but (like so many religions) some people either get the wrong end of the stick or simply use it to justify doing wrong.

The 85 stone woman was pretty impressive too.

Looking good mate!

Shit mate, I hope it's ok. It's no fun waiting with a potential big bill over your head like that. Unfortunately they're all a gamble, these cars. If you want peace of mind you have to get a new Focus. But I guess we all know that.

I'd be interested. Very interested - all comes down to money though!

Very, very sorry to hear that T-pot. Remember the good times, be strong and make him proud.

I try and squeeze things that I pick up.

I had one on a motorbike a few years ago. You can get ones that have a butane cylinder and they produce a bigger flame and work without revving the engine.

I hope the photoshop experts are storing these away for future manipulation. ;)

All cars depreciate except accepted classics. No getting away from it really.

I went to one of these so-called 'meets' in a pub car park thinking it would be nice to meet some people but several high posting members tried to touch me up. I certainly won't be doing that again. Filthy heathens.

A West Mercia Police spokesman said it would be "inappropriate to comment" after the High Court referred the case back to a lower court. But he added: "In West Mercia, clear guidelines which ensure that all advanced drivers know what they can and cannot do when driving vehicles above the posted speed limit - in accordance with national training guidelines - have been circulated." The guidelines allow for officers to exceed limits, but never to drive at more than 120mph. So they'll back off past 120 then

I think that's right. But driver ability will come into it and we're all fairly equal but not experts. I wonder if the RX8 will suffer with all it's power at the top of the rev range - it's the area under the curve, not the highest point that matters for most people who are'nt expert drivers. Mine is the slowest Z - and it has 17" wheels with cheap tyres on which won't help.

I bought an Acer today from Tesco for just under £500 (reduced). It seems pretty good - wifi'ing from the couch right now! I'm no expert though.

One in an RX8 One in a (new shape) 2000 MR2 One in a (new shape 1.8 sport) 2003 MX5 One in a 300ZX (1999, NA, auto, lwb, targa) Who comes first, second, third and who is fourth? NB - don't my mates have gay cars?! edit - RX8 is high power (222bhp) model
