I'm with Steve.
The article is all speculation

There's positives and negatives to that look isn't there

Obviously Henry JNR has been misquoted as we all know the Pinto engine couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and that's even with a cam that ain't rattling like a bag of bolts in a cement mixer!

Burton:
"A great engine with loads of potential"

For that price I would want it hand delivered and put on the car

If I had a car worth a £9k number plate I wouldn't want anyone going near it

There was a nice Remembrance Day poppy drop over the memorial at Capel Le Ferne this morning. Here's a couple of snaps I took

You're certainly making B112 into your dream
Andrew.

Now if he could get it water proofed as well ...

It's like that Wine from the Devils Cellar

Blimey Nick, think I prefer my 'flood' waters

So Nick, the owner of the first Capri with 45s that doesn't go over 60. Could be unique :poke: :lol: Sounding like some great upgrades there mate. Smoke 'Em would be proud :D :applaud: Shame about the holiday but I happen to know of a good camping weekend in July next year that would be a cheap alte...

Do you have a vice that you can squeeze it in to try and push the pin back the other way?

Nick, if you are going to look at this please sit down first with some aspirin to hand :o So this week was down as the last week of using the 2.8 before hibernation. I took it to go to a lecture on Tuesday and caught a shower and it caught a couple of spots again yesterday. This morning we needed tw...

I hope you get juices creating a lovely topping to be poured over prick holes allowing the sauce to melt itself

Sorry Nick, not with you mate
It was just a light rain shower, dried off on the blast up the motorway on the way home

Well done on the pass, great news
Got my 2.8 out today (Nick ignore the next bit), bit of light drizzle on the way to Maidstone just waiting to see what happens on the way home!

Can we rewind a bit....Why are you putting decals on the Beastie Tom?

Probably reverting to original spec

S'pose I better put it in my diary then

I can see Nick up on the stage now, leather jacket, fender strapped on, head down, hair blowing in the wind (OK, maybe not that one :lol:), really going for it. Can't wait :guitar: Jase, I was out for lunch earlier as it was the other half's birthday and, lol and behold, a Spitfire flew over. Wasn't...

... And as for your t-shirt...

Blimey Nick, I was obviously more tired than I realised at that point as I never even noticed that on my shirt. Amazing oversight. Perhaps the glare off the Pacific brought it out

For the slightly more 'squeaky' amongst us (ok, tight then..), and I include myself in this. Rather than go buying graphite lubricant, simply scrub a lead pencil over sandpaper and use the resulting powder, it's the same stuff, but FREE

Where do you nick your pencils from then

Given the wear to the seats, the lack of side stripes and the apparent absence of any sort of scuff marks around the door locks and handles I would be surprised if the car hasn't had more paintwork than is mentioned. Could still be really solid of course but the outside is too clean compared to the ...

Morning all! Over the weekend my plan was to spend some time and take apart the door handles/locks I recently purchased and obviously was planning to use this amazing guide to help me on my way. Unfortunately, I got stuck quite literally at the first step :lol: I can't get the rolled pin out for th...
