The_Dude

:lol: nice choice of words

No shower at work. Plus there's the big hill to contend with after a full days work. Plus I'm inherently lazy. :D

There's still quite a few Corrados about is the thing... most of the old Cav's and Assy's will have been run into the ground, rusted to beggary or written off by now, leaving only the really well looked after examples. That's what I think anyway, plus, 5-10 years ago those cars were worth feck all (well maybe not the RS).

And look who's last, for all his mouth before the start of the season. :lol:

first post updated with scores. i dunno about you other guys, but I just click on the Corrado Forum where it appears near my team and that gets me to the results. critical_mass you can rejoin with new teams under a different email if you want, you will start with the lowest player's points and i can delete your old teams too.

You should check out Pierced_Winky 's gallery thread, he has posted up some gorgeous smoothed bays. :luvlove:

yeah maybe, not decided if i'm going yet or not, will wait on the weather forcast saturday night.

Thanks, I prefer it when you don't use long words. :lol: Was just really confused is all and having a bad day at work doesn't help either! Right, lets see what I can sort out before the 5th! (you heard from the parks dudes yet?)

OK, so do you mean if the bolts are 18 mm wide they will need to be at least 18mm long? And hubcentric means what? Balanced?

As above really, where from and will I need longer bolts with the 4mm spacers? Ta.

Don't forget my repair too! :wink: :grin:

Abdul, chargecooling is exactly what it says it is - making the air cooler after it has passed through the super/turbo charger. When most people say charge cooling they refer to air to liquid cooling (the opposite of what happens in your radiator - water is used to cool the charge as cold air is more dense, therefore bigger bang) but it can include intercoolers (air to air cooling) too. I've been having a look at chargecoolers recently, a good sort of design seem to be along the PWR lines, where the charge goes in one end and comes out the other, as opposed to the box type where the inlet and outlet are usually next to eachother. hth, Jim.

And there's no adverts this season! :grin: You gonna join the fantasy league Phil? :wink:

Was thinking of something along these lines Honda CLR 125

Not my cars but better than nothing! Colour coded bottles Full on bling with colour coded airbox, cam cover and charger. :epicfail: Chromed everything with gold plated screws etc...

You're right John, I had planned on driving on CBT, but may do the full test now anyway, at least that way I have the option of going to a larger bike if I find a 125 too crummy. (un)Luckily I work in Croydon so there's no central shenanigans to contend with. Mic, you make a good point about something a bit more powerful, I am concerned about getting up the hill, its pretty darn steep. But one of the main reasons I don't want a larger bike is that I just don't trust myself not to do something silly. I love going fast but obviously in a car I am restricted by what's in front of me, whereas bikers get to drive on the right in this country, no holds barred. :wink: :D Seriously, the smaller the bike the less likely I'll be going fast when I do get into trouble. My journey is about 5 miles and would be a 15-20 mins pootle along main roads. I've ridden a sit and beg in Nepal (where I first learned to ride on the mean streets of Khatmandu) and found it fine enough. It was 10 years ago mind and on completely different road conditions (better!) and traffic (mental) so I could be mistaken when I get on one over here. I dunno, I guess I'll just have to ride a few different types and see if they're up to the job. I've know too many people who've had their peds nicked, they seem pretty easy to half inch plus I would have to keep it on the street as there's no access to the rear of my house unless you want to climb a 3 ft wall and walk over the next door neighbours lawn. Sooo I would need something not easily taken, even though I plan on locking it to a lamppost. Its making my scalp itch from all the scratching. :scratch: :lol: One more thing, am I right in thinking that you need a new helmet every 2 years or something? Or is that just motorsports? Actually two, why in the TG Vietnam special, did they not call Hammonds bike the 'Talibike'? Seems the obvious joke to me that they missed :D :D

:lol: :lol: And I forgot to add I live at the top of Crystal Palace hill, its absolutely massive, the highest place around for miles. So a 50cc heap won't get me home :grin:

Wow! Didn't expect such a detailed response, thanks Stuart! :salute: Its all certainly food for thought and has given me a better idea of what I want and should avoid. Top work me old son. :salute: Any one else wanna pitch in with any more tips? (it was actually a slightly larger scooter with a basket I fell off now i think back, but it was on a dirt trail when I hit a large rut caused by monsoon rain. i rode peds out there too and found them to be unnerving and not enjoyable at all, i certainly wouldn't trust one in the rain!) As for my build, I'm just under 6 foot and rake thin. :D Kip - well I won't be buying a Vespa!

I think they're wheels, but I could be wrong.... :lol:

Got a rough price of that little lot Jon? Been meaning to go down the stealers and see how much this would cost. Just too lazy. :tongue:

811ft/lbs@2100rpm! :shock: Didn't 5th Gear test this? still its only got 115 bhp per litre - an Evo has more than that. :lol:

You're all putting bad ideas in my head...anyone got a engineless Corrado lying about? :lol:

I'm sick of getting the bus and have decided to get a small bike to avoid being crushed standing up going to and from work. Problem is I know diddly squat about bikes, so could someone recommend me a small bike under 125cc? I'm not really a fan of peds, most sound like hairdryers and the wheels seem too small for our weather, plus I've already crashed one in Thailand (with scar to prove), so if there's anything else out there I will consider that first. Not bothered about gears or twist and go either. Basically I just want to know if there's any type or make I should avoid, all comments welcome and appreciated.
