Yeah , I was thinkin what a waste of spanners ( her name was Jackie ) , probly all the same size

I dunno that the wiring has been butchered , just because the two parralell outputs are joined . Sometimes this is done because one push on spade connector ( what are inside the plug ) is not capable of handling 40 plus amps reliably so they double up the out put terminals. I think the excitation wi...

It`s referred to as a `set square` (at least in UK) presumably as it enables one to check the corners of a square, or squared piece, are actually 90`: by having a triangle increases it`s versatility as you can also check 45` (or even 60` & 90`). But primarily it`s to check `squareness`, That was a ...

I thought a square was actually just an equilateral rectangle?

Yeah thats the sort of stuff she come up with ......

I asked her to pass me the square (generic pic) .....I shoulda known better and just called it a fucking triangle . So "why is it called a square when its obviously a triangle? " .

Hey ! Im not the one who kicked this off track by polishin his nuts at the mot and then tellin everyone ( what! No pix ?)

Ha , reminds me of a girl I once (well , more than once ) knew from ice skating days , we used to call her Spanner , one look would tighten your nuts . She used to sneak in my bedroom window whenever she was bitchin with her mother and "get even" . Wouldn't have minded givin Mummy one too.

I'd be worried just exactly what one would be polishing if one prefers to hide under the car to do it......

I have 15" performance wheels IMG_20200124_125556.jpg And I have a Willwood 285mm / 4 pot midlite calipers kit from Burtons. The kit came with plain vented discs and then I found Rally Design does drilled and slotted discs ( look way cooler ). You might also consider ally hubs as they go some way to...

Ha ha ,me too , no wine tho so thats even worse I spose

What feckin book? ,I searched for it last time you mentioned it

In my opinion they are a good fit yes. And as Paul G says very comfortable too. You can just use a blanket for the rears, proper old school, like when you used to lie down and go to sleep on the way home from holiday. Blanket must be tartan and draped over the seat backs so as to be visible thru th...

And yep , she's on the bloody phone again :roll: I think we can hear her Hamish: "yes, he's on the bloody computer again. It's that strange English web site. Full of blokes he's never met talking about a car he never drives. I just don't understand him …" Ok , so where did you hide the camera ? She...

None of us would expect anything less Nick. Bet you got some favourable coments from the tester too! :beer: Hi Paul. Thanks very much mate. Was funny as the tester called over a few others to pop down the pit and have a peek underneath :lol: Ha ha , probly all discussing the obsessive compulsive gu...

You can zoom into the image here: https://i.postimg.cc/hGJVKKQR/09-AF7978-E4-DC-4550-89-CF-4-D6949897458.jpg Looks like a MK1.. maybe. Is it even a Capri? Bonnet bulge looks too long.. Ah , thanks for that Tom , I was seeing only the white car and thinkin I had missed the joke , but now I see the t...

I reckon we should get the bastard :xd: how bout we swap his gear lever for a big dildo (yeah, we'll have to bring Jason in on it..... he's bound to have a spare we could borrow ) and seeing as how you live closer than me I think you should do the deed( just dont spend to much time fucking about cle...

Well spotted ,mine is fooked ,went all rusty inside .

If you have a basic understanding of aerodynamics and fluid flow, then maybe you'd consider the other option. Instead of trying to force more air into the engine bay, which will need to displace what is already there, you could consider raising the rear edge of the bonnet instead. The airflow over ...
