double-6s

well as your so profficient perhaps you could come over and drop mine out then fella? :) lovely

the thing that worries me is that i decided to try and swerve round him rather than slam the anchors on - because of the kids. might be hard to explain?

thats it for me. gonna get a 500 squid polo and put the C on a classic insurance policy.

me too :) how the fek do they repair a gouged wheel arch anyway??

its always a case of having to prove it though mate. and i can't. i swerved round him and oulled back in to avoid an on-coming car (!) so my left rear caught his front right.

i was driving with my two young kids in the car mate. he pulled straight out in front of me when i was doing 40 so i had to try to go round him, but he went into my back rear. i was not even vaguely impressed as the kids were in there. i let him know ;) insurance will undoubtedly be 50/50 payout so there goes my no-claims. :(

Anyone know how repairable a badly dented, ripped and scraped rear wheel arch is? Some dumb ass taxi driver has just hit my C and it looks minor but serious if you know what i mean. Nasty gouges to the arch, back bumper off its mounting and damaged, and one mint speedline fekked :( It's the arch that worries me...... (pics in morning) edit: sh*t pics but as you can see its right across the crease of the wheel arch. anyone know if that can be repaired or is it a cut out job???

i clearly have a far heavier right foot than you then mate. but what do you mean you've managed 42mpg while taking it easy in 5th across town? thats not a journey. do you mean you reset your maf after you've started the journey?? i would have to drive like the pope to get those sort of figures. and thats just not me i'm afraid. i bought my vr to rag. plain and simple. thats why i went for a 2.9 :) edit: a typical journey (to the office): 4 miles in town/40 mph limit. 60 miles on the motorway. 28 mpg.

suede 300mm sparco steering wheel. (haven't done much yet) ;)

was it black mate? gotta get spotted soon! :(

MAFs might lie mate but empty petrol tanks don't! I know for sure mine averaged about 24 exactly as the MAF said - if not it was leaking onto the road somewhere. Not sure why golf vr6s are worse than rados, but i've heard a few people say the same :)

my golf vr is much thirstier than the rado vr. the goluf returned about 24 averge. maybe 23. and thats with loads of long journeys too!

excellent. he definately aint shy! the roads round here are a bit like that at rush hour ;)

ouch. sounded good before it went though

sounds like chewy and han should be driving

take the company car rallying :) my sister's old boyfriend got sacked in the 80s for taking his mk4 cortina co. car rallying! quality bloke :)

woah........ hang on...... a tool forum??? (can you not bung google a few quid and arrange to have your site pop up regardless of what the search was, ie, any mention of tool or shack and they're directed to you??) ;)

stop ya moaning and start celebrating mate. surely thats gonna free-up funds for making the rado even nicer? all good :)

5.5 litre V12 diesel though mate!

sweet as a nut. half what the other cars will be running at :)

i reckon it's ok. reminds me of radio-shack - american tandy

NjA666, sounds sweet mate. that's gotta be a K&N on there? like the name - i was thinking of getting a 666 reg plate.

excellent. sounds like a space ship. i heard thats it's useable power band is something like 4000 to 5000 revs! in a race car! how chilled is that.

looks cool mate. snappy name too. good luck fella

other end of the country mate unfortunately. and i want to learn myself for two reasons: 1. i've seen monkeys who know more about mechanics than me 2. don't want to pay anyone! gaz the geezer - thanks fella. on both counts! mind you, at your age (113?) i think the journey may be a bit much for you ;) (you may just get a desperate pleading pm at some point in the future!)
