John, you noticed the amount of potholes? Reckon they're being all environmental and re-cycling the raods now? :lol:

Lewis alledgely didn't see the Ginger-haired fellow in a dirty Donkey jacket with a stop-go lolly-pop while they were "resurfacing" the end of the pit lane. Oh and apparently Kimi's car was towed away within 10 seconds of getting out as "scrap" by a nice gentleman with gelled hair in a Mitisi Shogun with a trailer and no plates! :lol: I'm making sweeping generalisations of course! :grin:

Pot kettle black, I'm not teh one who spends a whole Saturday sat in the garden rubbing... :gag: And no, it's to get the stockers back to looking good now I've "perved" the rear... soon to be followed by the rest tonight!

You mean: http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/product_i ... ucts_id=39 That ^^^

Any-one got tips for removing swirling on Stock rear lights? By hand if possible? :nuts:

Think Bernie doesn't like F1 being posted on Youtube! However this is amusing: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Pikey

AquaG60, thanks for that, it's the constructive answer I was looking for, as to the rest of your comments, thanks guys, I know where I stand when try to ask for some help for a mate! Re-read my original post and you'll see I'm not having a poke at the police and saying they have better things to do (JIM), all I was asking is have they enforced this correctly (I also have two ex-brother in-laws who are traffic Police and they have backed up Aqua's comments, of this being a bit harsh). What I do like is the fact that there are still some police divisions who are trying to look out for dodgy cars, one that might indicate the owner would also forget about insurance and not bother with tax. The ones who would not car if they drove into the back of your pride and joy and then drove off. This is not what Dan's car is like but I can understand why the police could get very confused as to what the Rat is meant to signify. We can't assume all police officers are tossers and then complain when they also don't do anything positive about a very crap situation that they have ended up in due to shit governance. DINKUS again re-read my post: Blowing exhaust, yes it was about the size of a 5p, not hanging off. Stupidly low suspension, no, wheels are all INSIDE the arches (I said no poke/stretch) and it's down 6-80mm which isn't excessive on a MK2. Iron Cross Brakelight, as in 3rd Brake-light! Yellow headlights, are they really illegal? As to "Ratty looking Grey paint" all subjective.. would you say a fresh coat of Grey Primer is rattier than a car with a multi-faded factory job? "Give the officer a mouthful" - Knowing my Friend, I doubt this very much, unlike some he's been brought up with manners.If not great Gammatical skills. So guys before you give me a slating please read the thread properly. All comments in red are from a friend who was pretty upset at the time.

True if it were a "sh!tter" But I know him and the car really well, it is a solid Mk2 and he's only just re-sprayed it in Primer grey (was satin black) and it's a solid but was really paint faded car underneath, so it's not like a rust-trap. There's no stretch/poke etc even has dealer plates! It's just a low tidy Mk2 (Ok french-spec yellow headlights and an Iron Cross brake light, but I'm sure these aren't illegal?) I'm just amazed that they can "prohibit" your car for such a minor thing and a blowing exhaust! I'm wondering if he has to go get a fresh MOT or just fix it take it to a MOT centre and get them to stamp the paperwork?

He works at a college too Dom! :lol: Noramlly makes a bit more sense but I think he was a mite angry when typing that! So anyone? Isn't/Wasn't there a representitive of "Her Majesty's Constabluary" on here? :confused4:

Good job most of our rados are too low for the pikey thieving gyppo scum to get to the Cats! Unless you have a stock height Late VR! and then they'd need a stepladder! :lol: Big business, reports of whole forcourts being done in one night! Now imagine the cost of replacing all those Cats even at "trade" :gag:

Mail from my Mate: yup the ratt got its 1st pull for mi yellow lights and iron cross light, and wen he stopped me he noticed exhaust blowing had to follow him down the station were my car was inspected by an expert MY ARRRSE! the guy has given me a "prohibition notice" because my exhaust is blowing in his opinion exhaust fumes "could " intoxicate me in the car!!!!!! i said to him that my fan intake in the other side of the fire wall which to me means that i am more likely too be gassed by my arse than my exhaust NOT happy! but stayed calm JUST! he went over the whole car tho found nothin , the bobby who took to calling me "son" said "personnally i highly recommend getting your suspension looked at there's only a finger beween the arch and tyre!!!" like i haddent noticed!! i said try and bounce the rear suspension (fat boy) couldnt move it, i also said "not being funny mate but this car may look like a shitter but underneath IT IS NOT " another quote from the same muppet " you cant just do what you like to cars you know theres a line and you have crossed it" i could go on ! anyway gotta producer for licence ,and docs the real pain is i have to get the car MOT'D to lift the prohibtion !! thats another 45 quid fixed it all this morn the ratt is back to crystal lights , and i plugged the hole in 2 mins A COMPLETE PIONTLESS WASTE OF TIME DESIGNED TO KEEP OLD CARS OFF THE ROAD SO HEMEL BOYS WATCH OUT BABYLON'S ABOUT and they dont like line crossers So anyone know what the law is on these Prohibition Notices? Can they really make you go through a full MOT just for a blowing exhaust? Or will it be one of these Got to a MOT station, get it stamped to say the work's done and off you go?

Slung onto my local forum for ya! Assume they'll work with mk2/3s??

Ah Si that's rubbish news! Let me know where you want to go next and I'll keep my ear to the ground for you! Junkie will be missed at ED this year!

Go with moty of the above! Whereabouts in DK are you? May have to do some exchange of Raddo bits for Saltlakrids :nuts:

Remember DON'T lost the two screw covers at the bottom corners of the dash as they're not available from VAG anymore, and a ROYAL PITA to find second-hand!

Come on Bill more plans for 2008?? Need to have a chat about those winter wheels too! :luvlove:

Yup Mine felt all on it's toes first time I went out on new rubber Resulted in a very disconcerting Wobble at *cough* NOT 120! However have a good look at rear top mounts and also check shock/springs aren't shagged..

7k on P/heads nets SX200/Scooby/Elise S1/some TT's/ a Skyline! And the usual rash of BMW/Merc stuff... Lots to chose from

:wave: any-one there?

Maybe we should have a poll? Something like: Yes Hands up I do it No I'm a law abiding angel Who cares as long as it doesn't hurt the price of Ham or Cheese? :shrug: :offtopic: why have't we got a Ham or Cheese smily yet?

So we all know undertaking is against the law. But in your eyes is it wrong? I spend a lot of time sat behind idiots on the M25/M11 who seem to have lost any comprehansion of lane discipline, and for whom the inside (and if it has a propellor or 3-point badge, the middle :censored: ) lane just doesn't exist apart from to dive over form/to a slip road! And yes I put my hand up :wave: to using "other" lanes to get past, if safe. Personally I like the US system of overtaking on all sides and also (in some states) turning right at a red light if traffic allows (Would be left over here). Just wondering your opinions?

Here's handy, Link to VOSA's Vehicle recall site... http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp Turns out there were 4 Corrado recalls... But can also searck on any make...

Offsets should be on the back of each wheel mate.. Get the seller to have a look... ;)

Nathan, Just a quick update, anything you'd recommend to clean off years of "hand-muck" from a leather steering wheel? Also a re-colour maybe in order if you can recommend anything too?
