McDaddy is a member on there Bill so drop him a pm, Nice bloke too :)

With you on the seat adjustment mate :lol:

Think I will start bugging you for your own article James, a campaign restoration project split over a few issues would be a great idea ;)

Still the VR for now Mate as it's still work in progress on the VR too but the nugget may well attend a few events this year. Certainly a Manchester meet if another is planned and i'm free. was good that :)

Cheers Chris, thats good to know :) i'll keep an eye on the plugs though as David suggests but it certainly feels ok when idling and indeed when pressing the fun pedal :)

Funny that Karl because i did to start with, I fitted it so you could read it when in the boot, went inside the house and thought (have I done it right?) so I went to check Jude's 8v and that was the other way round so I had to quickly go back into the garage to pull it back off, was quite hard to do as the glue had coooled down again so had to warm it back up and fit it right. What a Palarva :lol:

No i think you are right mate as it does smell a bit not right once its fired up but then seems ok once fully warmed up. i'll get it tuned once the exhaust is sorted. :)

Jm, if the emissions are that low could it cause damage then? not very familiar with the KR after 15 years since my last one. :/

I was watching it today Rich, was around 95 to 102 every time i checked. i'll keep a constant eye on it for you though when i drive it. ---------- Post added at 8:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:19 PM ---------- Anne, thanks! the accident was in October 2010 though :) I got £3300. :) and the car repair came to £3850 :lol: I am happy with the results to say the least as the car is now better than it was before but it was a long hard slog to get it here.

Well i'm having a right bloody good day :) When the rear panel was replaced i was desperate to save the boot sticker to the extent that once the rear panel was taken off the car I asked them to cut round it so ast not to damage it trying to peel it off lol! Anyway now all is getting good with the car the problem came to try and find how to replicate the sticker, i tried scanning but it wan't brilliant and I tried scanning it onto adhesive sticker type paper too and again was ok but a little blurry due to still being stuck to the metal it doesn't fit in Judes scanner very well :lol: Was starting to get annoyed so thought i'd try putting some steam onto the other side of the metal ie not the paper sticker side (you following?) so after about 30 seconds the glue started to soften , you should have seen my face :lol: Anyway it came off easy then so I ran into the garage and put it back where it belongs :) I know it's not really interesting but to me it's quite important to keep the original sticker as it was when it left Karmann 20 odd years ago.

Yeah looks like the centre box has been missed, so just a cat and a rear box? cant really see from the pic. Haven't seen a rear box like that though, could be one of those made up systems like a powerflow or something.

Put my name down on the club site too Eric :) Thanks!

It does smell a bit David, could that be why? bearing in mind the lack of use it's had i'm guessing a few weeks driving wont go amiss now either. You mean water temp? been checking all the guages avidly worried sick all the time i'm driving it :/

Well after a frantic few days getting the Nugget road worthy at the end of last week before we had a house full for Elsecar Show I gave it a little wash just as Chris, Eric, Jim & Lucaz turned up and all was good but then when I revesed into the garage it had decided to test me by spitting a load of oil out from the pressure switch :lol: Swine. So picked up a switch from Euro C Parts and all was well again. Been a long time stood so wasn't sure how it'd go to be honest but I needn't have worried. The Emissions test showed rediculous lows too, CO Limits are 3.50 Nugget was 0.58. HC Limits are 1200 And that was 77 :lol: it's blowing fresh air man he said :) All this bollocks about old cars, Eh??? No advisories too so to say i'm pleased is an understatement. Kip :)

Whats the condition of the glass matey, ie any scratches? thinking about a new rear screen so if the glass is mint without marks i may be interested. Thanks. Kip

Yeah strange but storms seem to be more common than they should be, i'm sure they actually made 2'500 of each :lol: I like my Uber Rare Black Magic LC9Z :)

Ah could have done with the exhaust, nevermind.

Thanks Chris and you know you are always welcome at ours :) Oh and Jude won best Standard Car, so she's happy!

Indeed Eric, but that also allows us experience to be cynical :lol: Top weekend as ever and always good to spend time with you guys. Great to meet some new people too! You Know who you are :)

Where will you get the rad from? may need one for the Nugget too, :/ Thanks awfully for making the effort with the article, it's appreciated.

Ah Rich thats a bugger, you reckon it's down to the radiator then? was hoping you'd crack it with a sensor :(

Got it in one mate, Many shows you have to enter in advance but quite a few are relaxed like this one. :)

Steve, Just enter from the club Stand mate, they dont have a seperate section.

No it's not. If you have cover use it! thats what it's for. Just a different method for the company doing the fitting to get paid. Makes no difference to those guys, just a little paperwork involved.

If you can get the search to work that is :/
