  1. My sister had a mint '99 Subaru Impreza RB5 that she treated like crap too...brought a tear to my eye. I couldn't justify £18k for a car to start with let alone treat it like a shed afterwards *sob*
  2. I'm enjoying this thread almost as much as Celebrity Big Brother - and I enjoy that immensely. The only thing the thread lacks is Caprice! Seriously, it's very impressive that you're taking the time to share this information with others. I'll remember you in my will.
  3. I got destroyed by one about six months ago on the A1. I thought I was doing ok....then he realised we were racing and buggered off. * EDIT* I just remembered that Tiff Needel reates them very highly too, which is good enough for me.
  4. Is it only me that finds a pair of long nosed pliers does the job then? Guess so!
  5. That's good thinking! Nothing worse than a resprayed car with the engine bay in the original colour.
  6. I found removing the passenger side shelf and glove compartment (20 minutes max.) makes the cable routing much easier.
  7. Interesting colour choice for that engine bay
  8. Seems you're not the only one that thinks like that....
  9. I had P6000s all round on an 8v Mk.2 GTi and I found the exact opposite - the grip was poor but they lasted forever!
  10. I found the roads to be awesome in BC when I lived there for a year. However, that was compared to the shite we get in Norfolk.
  11. I guess I'll just leave it there for another few days!
  12. Nobody seems that interested in this so I'm gonna delete it.....any objection?!
  13. That fuel tank looks seriously odd. Apart from that it's a really nice looking car though - lovely colour.
  14. The Atom segment is currently available at this link for all those interested - it's 62MB and runs for 9m 21s. It'll probably be there for several days. ** Edit ** The resolution is 512 x 282 and the quality is very good in case you were wondering....
  15. Leave it to me.... That's handy actually because I haven't got enough webspace left to host the whole episode!
  16. jimsG60, did you ever get hold of the Ariel Atom segment you were after? I've got the whole episode in AVI format (approx. 342MB) if you want the whole thing, or I can just rip ot the bit you want.
  17. With the dark rear windows it looks like an Audi TT van.
  18. Cheers mate, I appreciate your kind words. In fact I appreciate everyone's kind words. To be honest the car's done me proud for the last 12 months and I should probably be nicer to it. The problem is it's hard to view it as anything other than a 14 year old banger that's next to worthless because basically that's what it is! However, I love it to bits and as bangers go it's got to be at the "classier" end of the scale!

    Like these?

    All the best show cars create controversy. I think there's potential there.
  20. All the Top Gear car vs. bike races are staged. Did anyone see the Yamaha R1 vs. Porsche Carrera race on one of Clarksons videos? What a load of old toss that was! How many here in the Atom camp actually have a full bike licence and have owned a modern sportsbike? NSR125s certainly don't count! :roll:
  21. Dont you mean remove heads? LMFAO
  22. Bikes pulling wheelies turn heads!
  23. Can the Atom lift its front wheels at 100mph? Doubt it! To be honest I'd love one for the track if money was no object but generally, if I'm going to get cold in/on a vehicle I'd like to be able to make progress in traffic. In a jam that Atom's as fast as the Morris Minor it's sitting behind. Anyway it's rice-powered FFS.
  24. What type of GTi is it exactly? Mk.1, 2, 3....8v, 16v....? I have an absolute shed load of Mk.2 8v spares - about three cars worth if you need anything...probably for free.
