The UK is pretty pathetic...

Bit of snow and report of snow drifts, and motorways closed..

Bit of rain, and we flood. Motorways close.

Bit of sun, and the tarmac peels off. Motorways close for resurfacing.

And we're ripped off majorly on car tax, fuel tax, congestion tax.... *sigh*

They all have a lot explained to them when taking their tests - doesn't mean they listen though.

Tail-gaters, excessive speeders, parking, you name it...

These people do it every day and can't remember. What's the chance of them remembering for the 3 days a year we get snow?

Reminds me of when I saw a van reversing up the hill around the corner from work. For about 1/2 a mile!

It was so low on fuel, he had to go up the hill backwards for the catchment in the tank, to get him to the top where the petrol station was :)

I still remember a couple of winters ago, taking about 30 mins to get up my road (normally a 30 second drive!) and at one point, getting out of the car, whilst it was still in 1st, and chatting to someone, holding onto the door, whilst the front wheels span on idle in 1st ;)

S'all fun! :D

Was loving the roof of the car park this morning.

Also offered to move my boss's MkV TDI.

Excellent sideways hand-brake action!

The MkV's ABS is very impressive in the snow. Puts the C to shame - which just does nothing!! (Disabled mine for winter!)

RWD's are a lot worse in the snow. Especially with viscous diffs. 3-point turns end up being 21-point turns, as the car goes sideways at slow speed!

Slimline V8 anyone?

That might be more interesting.

Yes, pants power from a 3.5litre, but the SOUND! :)

They only need doing if they actually are worn.

My C's on the original chains and is near 208k miles!

Hmm, think that was a little bug there... 10093 times! lol

New R32 3 seconds faster than the old R32... discuss! :)

Roll on R36, I say! ;)

...........thus proof that GT4 is pants, and so is the PS2.

Viva la Xbox!

This has been discussed many times before - also quite recently.

If you have after-market lights, both sides have reflectors, so you can have two rear fogs which look the same.

Please use the search!

Locking.

I agree with Christ, erm, I mean Chris (same birthday, I get confused) here.

I have the carbon plates, without the background, and its a nice subtle mod that takes people a few looks to notice, then when they do its always an 'Ooh'.

I have a closeup imae in my album. The electrical tape is hiding what was written on the plate (another optional extra) as it got half cut-off by the corrado-forum.net plate holder.

That wiper!!!

It's set to get worse than that, I'm afraid.

By the wonder of the Search:

cos sooner rather than later i'll start rattling

That'll be your old age, mate... ;)

They're the In Pro Angel Eyes... just like mine...

Ok, not sure I'd want to then - something will probably break! ;)

Haha, done that before!

Only, it was to get out of a space when I'd been hemmed in.

Not sure the C, even with Mk4 Alloy rear calipers, could do it though ;)

Jay, do you have a higher res. version of those pics?

If it's cool with you - would like to put the rear one in the banner rotation.

...so even more annoying! (And likely to sheer)

You don't need the fixing screw - it causes more problems than solves really. Just leave it off then you won't have the problem again.

Madjackal, please don't dupe threads. Use your other thread for your MoT problems.

Thread locked.

I have a crappy one in mine, so can't leave the car longer than 7 days, so yeah, what the hell...

The VR alts be ok with charging the red tops, then?

Don't think you actually need reverse lights for the MoT.

My g/f's Fiesta got through one a couple of months ago without 'em.

I thought you needed 'em too, but the guy was insistant it wasn't required.....

P.S. Most likely the switch on the gearbox. Discussed many times, try the search.
