damn my baboon hands to slow, but he didnt get the piston info :)

The difference in the power, where it exists, comes from smaller turbos and different cam profiles, not from the block design. The auto block and manual block are identical apart from the flywheel. Piston sizes are here

to be fair. We are all sitting here, hopefully, fairly good drivers in fairly well maintained cars but, and its a biggie, you have some doddery muppet in a clapped out old banger on the same road. Now whilst I am happy doing well in excess of, I dont want mr dodder in his 19frozentodeath banger behind me doing it. or some batty boy in his tricked up nova (who has spent so much on his "bling" he cant afford to get the brakes sorted). I agree that the limit is out of date, and that it should be raised, but on condition that if you use the higher speed limit, you have to take a more stringent test (cos lets face it, we did a 45 minute test nearly 20 yrs ago, that didnt involve motorways and that was the last time our driving was assessed, generally) and your car should have to undergo a proper inspection rather than just an mot and six monthly , not yearly. That way at least the people doing those speeds are reasonable drivers in reasonable cars. Unless of course its me on me bike, in which case (due the far superior brakes on a bike,less mass to bring to a halt and the fact that bikers (generally) are better drivers) I should be allowed to update my personal best of a a fireblade "off the clock" :)

That be VERY pink bud :) you might want to block the number plate out on the pics tho ;)

in the face of no competition, I would like to be the first to welcome our new secretary. I am sure you will do a sterling job :)

Another accident! Sorry to hear this mate. RIP

Always bad to hear of someone suffering this fate. RIP

I dont want to be all picky and stuff bud, and I do appreciate your situation and have thought of offering my services, but feel it might be better recieved if you considered subscribing to the club. Just an idea :)

or a knackered viscous fan :)

gt ormond st is an excellent idea, kiddies and christmas. Mentioned in the mods forum of a couple of guys going up in the zeds to make the presentation, get some press interest

The hicas light wil come on if your power steering fluid is low, try topping both up. Also check for leaks

Nah Mate, thats James300, mine has got sideskirts :)

Welcome aboard, and dont listen to the muppets, the NA is a blinding car

Think that's an excellent idea bud

congrats on the birth of your kid :)

Only if I can drive, cos you drive like a girl.lol

I would answer, but didnt know we had affiliates :(

Can only do this if I can bring my mitsi, also cant do 19th as I am in egypt :)

much like a company policy I would imagine, you set parameters (in this case based on the forms) and as long as you stay within the parameters and registerd with the club, you qualify

mine is what everyone has called me since I moved down here nearly 20 yrs ago, my longest standing friend sent the invite to her wedding to "jock", I have known her 17 yrs, am round her house all the time and she didnt know my real name

Mine, loved it to bits, but 100 sovs to fill both tanks and foot down drag stripping returned 3miles to the gallon.lol

Ahem , talking of mirrors:)

Same reason I wear arai, when youve done 90 mph on your head, it gives you faith in things :)

If you drop a lead from the battery + down the wheel arch and insulate it (halfords do some a decent length) then you should be able to connect the - to any bare metal underneath and start the car that way, saves running two leads

never been pulled for it in a car, but many many times on my bikes. Could have been the "you'll never take me alive filthy copper" on the bottom of it tho :) Got pulled in wimbledon one evening and the cop pulled a "Starwars" ruler to measure the plate, I wemnt into a rant about using a calibrated measuring instrument if he was going to do me, when my buddy who had stoped with me, reminded me that there was no rent on the bike, shut me mouth, took it on the chin:)
