  1. doesnt look too bad here today, drove past sainsburys on the way to work and it looked about normal, no shortages and no queues... glad i didnt panic and sit in the massive line yesterday to get a full tank.
  2. for the purposes of this thread that doesnt matter ;)
  3. recreate the bulitt car chase with the dodge and mustang above dream>
  4. i think its the same as the one in TFATF, but i dunno if its the actual car they used. good choice rodders, old school porkers get my vote too
  5. chill out a bit mate, they're offering to help you at no cost and out of the goodness of their own hearts. I'm sure gibber wouldnt be coming over to plug in the ECU for you :? but maybe once he (or henny/whoever) looks into your problem they'll spot something you havent? no point blowing your stack when these guys are going out of their way to help, or at least trying to.
  6. just wondering what people would have as their ultimate money/running costs/practicality no-object car. I'm expecting alot of 'ferrari' and 'porsche' answers but hopfully there'll be a few interesting gems in there too. this would be mine... (i know they handle like donkey do-do but LOOK at it! and 1000+bhp too!) Evil Dodge
  7. aye jim, must admit they do look nice. good an wide too, they 8.5's?
  8. black centered BBS with a polished lip jim, they look the absolute danglies on black mk4's
  9. dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks, theres a reason why american corrado's are styled differently to UK ones, and why dubbers on the continent do it differently again. As jay quite rightly points out in the vortex thread, 'vettes arent that rare in the states so seeing a corrado with 'vette wheels isnt that big a deal where as over here i doubt many people have seen a corvette on the road let alone taken note of its wheels or thought about putting them on their car. As for the TVR interior, think back to what you thought the first time you saw one in a TVR, its such a massive departure from any other interior that they're bound to be a bit shocked/confused by it in a corrado if they've not seen one before. I dont think they're being short sighted in the comments they're making, i think they're just coming at the whole styling thing from a different angle to us so opinions are bound to differ.

  11. from what i hear on the news theres no plans to blockade any of the depots, so all this panic buying is pointless even IF the protests go ahead.
  12. MOT's are becoming a joke
  13. h8rra's is probably the best one i've seen for my tastes, it sits perfectly in the bumper cut-out, doesnt stick out too far and sounds nice too.
  14. i'd go for an a3 purely for the fact you could pimp it up beautifully.
  15. i might be the only one to think this, but as soon as i saw it i thought 'g60'. I suppose that just hilights the differences in modding style/taste of the owners of the different variants of corrado in the UK.
  16. like that alot, nice work mate
  17. http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/index.php 15,000 users enough for ya?
  18. i get mine with my milk, 2 pints of semi-skimmed and a barrel of super unleaded every other day thanks to my local milkman. its a bit of a bummer when the bluetits get at the tops though.
  19. i got a 'mitt' from halfords last time i was in buying car shampoo, its like fake sheepskin stuff and works an absolute treat so long as the cars dry. I tend to dry off excess water with an old towel (pink naturally) then buff it up with this mitt, works amazingly well! I'll have to try the newspaper/apple thing on the glass since thats the one thing i dont ever seem to get properly shiny.
  20. 'warm' was the advice i read, just to loosen up any oil/grease a bit
  21. well if its no good to me and no good to jay, its yours paul. Like i said i saw it cheap and thought it best to snap it up on the off chance!
