I have a friend in Cardiff

Really? I have a crownwheel, driving pinion and planet gears in cardiff.

Yeah that was great, ace to see you all again. Me and Julie Ann stayed another night to make the most of that weather.. really good weekend so it was! Just ordering some new shock absorbers now as I killed the spax adjustables

Wouldn't the bushes be all fucked by this time though? And things seized?

I really really want that to happen too!

How come the Escort is pretty much unusable then? No petrol in it? :) The seller states that it is "purely an ornament to be showcased or the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle in a very high end collection". To a certain extent, I have to agree with that. I can't see somebody spending nearly £100K o...

I do like a nice subtly modded Capri

Hey all, just got the Capri out of hibernation - big thanks to Major Tom for the help driving me about to get a new battery, and doing an oil change. My pleasure. I forgot how nice condition your Capri is.. everything's so tight and true and shiny. And it has an interior that is in the car and not ...

See you there!

Me too exactly the same sequence of thoughts and actions.

See you there!

Cheers guys. Yes I guess she could have broken down in a worse place. She was also fortunate not to be travelling faster and hit something when she lost the steering. Don't think she felt lucky but on balance ..... Cool story. Odd how nobody got in her motor with her innit... perhaps you have uncov...

It sounds like you had a great day! Love that burger van. It was a good day, didn't get a chance to sample the burgers as we were running late, great truck though, very mad max :D Very Duel, you mean good sir! It is one of the three trucks used in filming.. Peterbuilt 251... if memory serves. The g...

I'm sure this has been asked loads but can anyone recommend some relatively easy/cheap upgrades i could do to my 1.6 pinto to give it a bit more oomph!

A bit more 00mph? Just keep it in neutral with the handbrake on.

I used to take great pleasure in telling my Daewoo owning, liberal vegetarian associates that the same company manufactures some great firearms.

Supporting the arms industry whilst claiming to be leading an ethical lifestyle? That'll be the Daewoo.

I just noticed this too Andy. And still it continues. There could be some loud thunder tonight. Strange you mention that. My best mate killed herself about 4 years ago. Her body was taken back to America and her family and get this... the night of the funeral.. there were two massive, massive unfor...

Do any of the above meets have camping available or are they one day wonders?

I'm intrigued how you 'clock' a car at 156 when the (very optimistic) speedo only goes up to 140. Maybe it went round twice. A human being in free-fall only reaches 128 mph due to the drag forces. So I don't reckon that particular car would reach 156mph if you pushed it out the back of a C130 Hercu...

So whilst some of us might be a little surprised at the question he has actually noticed a problem in the feel of the car, looked under the bonnet and asked for an opinion on what has been found so I'm not sure the insults are really necessary. Well said Peter. Be too hard on our younger members an...

Simply pull the hose off the fuel pump, lie it close to the floor and hey presto! A primed wick ready to light at a moments notice to keep you warm and toasty as you work on your beloved classic.

Aaah terrible puns in these troubled times.. just what is needed

It wouldn't be for me. After the Capri came to an end I've had a few coupe's, all RWD. I've test driven FWD ones like the Celica & Cougar but they never did it for me. To me, a sports coupe should be RWD like the Toyota GT 86, that's what it's all about. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong wi...
