Bit of a cack pic, you can see more of me than the seats.

You should have used http://tinyurl.com/6rc87r :lol: Maybe drop Tempest a line for a better one?

I doubt that Clarkson himself would turn up to buy it but instead send a researcher. Imagine you are selling your C, have put up a decent price for it, some Johnny turns up, pays you full whack. Excellent, you think, he must really want it, its gone into good hands. Then you see Jezza ragging the t!ts off it and destroying the engine in a matter of days. Sorry, but people have many reasons for selling...say you needed the money for a house deposit and had no choice and then you saw that, you'd be destroyed. That's what gets me. Yeah they might muller a knackered old Jag or two, but deliberately smashing rare old cars is just wrong. That's just scandalous. :eek: Budget my arse.

cool, thankyou sir.

New Oldsmobile's are out early this year..... :lol:

Best 2 out of 3? Has anyone else got a pic of W8 mod? It just looks a bit out of place against the JMC's black headliner is all.

Jim, don't you realise how this country works? Someone will come along and unplug your car and plug in theirs, stealing your juice if its left on the street overnight. Same principle will apply to wheelybins if they ever do the pay as you go scheme. What's to stop me dumping my rubbish late at night into my next door neighbour's bin if mine is already full? Not that I would do either of those btw, but I know how some people's brains will scam it.

I'm pretty sure there's a prototype out there that uses capacitors rather than batteries, giving it a very quick charge but not great range.

I like to think of Boris as someone who's so clever he's a complete idiot. :) He's certainly very amusing.

You forgot Lord Humungous and his mohawked sidekick with the butt cheeks cut out of his leather troosies. Filled up with V-power yesterday, 96.9! Cheap considering about a month ago it was 119 or so.

It shot off the line and zipped through the corners. I was really impressed....Caterham is only about 5 miles from me, I might go take one for a test drive. :) Yeah right, maybe if I get dressed up in slacks and a blazer....

I was thinking that too, must be getting old "Ooh, that'll leave a terrible mess" :lol: That Corvette looked super sick tho. I liked the beach assault, jez and the marine had me laughing out loud "are you cold" "yeah i am a bit" "put the heater on then" and the bullet casings flying around the inside of the car as he fired out the window. And what the hell was that German car all about? It looked like it came from some 70s sci-fi program. Weird.

Gorgeous...

They're a bit on the large side methinks. Good work on the bumper, sanding is a b!tch.

Festoon is a quality word. :clap:

Contisports ftw! My tyres are pretty much the same too, but they be getting a final thrashing this weekend.

oh god I thought my experience was bad....a smart car :shock: Well in my defence it was wet and slightly up a hill - the more power you have the harder it is to get a good launch, I pretty much spun my wheels all the way.

I've gone from 5th to 1st instead of 3rd before. Ouchy. Cooper S is quite a nippy little thing tho. Even worse - I got done off the line by a Smart the other day and I've got 300hp, he rocketed off and I was left behind trying to get the power down. Garrgh! I would have destroyed him if we'd had started at 20 mph too.

Sorry, did you just say he closed his business because it was doing too well?!? :scratch:

it was a surprisingly coherent sentence, i'm amazed i pulled it off! :)

Pure tripe

a hamster in a wheel would be more effective mate if they're the ones i'm thinking of. :)

it certainly won't have helped as the lambda monitors the air mixture in the exhaust gases to adjust the fuelling accordingly so if there is no signal it would have been on a default setting causing bad running due to incorrect stoichiometric values....i had mine replaced recently and it sorted a lot of problems.

Ditto, can't find any near me.
