BTTT. How many venues have already disappeared due to local opposition from people who move in next door to a track and then complain. Sign up on line. It only takes 2 minutes.

Ordered a selection of bits which arrived in less than 24 hours. One carton of oil incorrect, but rectified, without hassle, immediately. Great service and good prices.

It's a Lynx 'crossover' manifold for single DCOE carb. Often used on road rally cars where they are only allowed 2 chokes. There is some information on these in David Vizards book on tuning Pinto's

Haven't seen this posted yet, but found on another forum. "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to introduce a green paper proposing ways, that, where complaints have been instigated by resident(s) against a long standing activity (for example, church bells, sports facility, local airfield and similar), and where residence has been taken up since the start of that activity (providing there has been no significant increase in activity), a presumption should be made to protect the continuation of that activity and reject such complaint." The airfield bit is particularly relevnt to those of us involved in rallying and racing doesn't escape either with the problems at Castle Combe, Brands and Rockingham, where NIMBY's moved in and then complained about the noise. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/livewithit/ Taken from the Britishrally.co.uk site but relevant to anyone who enjoys track days or motorsport in general. Please log on and support the petition.

Is this definitely on for Saturday 3 May ?

That great. Thanks. Will save a lot of hassle.

Not quite Old Skool, but does anyone know if Ford Ka wheels will fit a Fiesta? Have chance of a set of 13'' Ka wheels with mint tyres and my sons Fiesta is desperately in need of new rubber. A straight swap would make life much easier. Thanks

Even if he took you to the Small Claims Court (he'd lose), it is no big deal. It's not a court like you see on TV, usually just a judge and a clerk. You don't even need to attend in person if your defence is tight. As for costs, a court will dismiss any unreasonable claims for solicitors costs as the syastem was designed to be reasonably cost effective (but not hassle free, unfortunately). If he does supply the information you have asked for, you have everything you need to provide a defence if the muppet tries to carry on. AA recovery sheet will have the mileage at the point of recovery. Keep us posted if there are any new developments.

Mine not arrived yet either.

Just found this, man I hope the cappa is handy, this guy is awesome! http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2006 ... ing-p1.php How the hell does he remember where to go ? I'd need a co-driver and then I'd be dizzy DaveH
