  1. Take a photo of the brakes before you take them apart. I can never remember how they go.
  2. It is the duty on cider that has gone up 10%, not cider. Amounts to a rise of just under 3p/pint I think
  3. If you can keep the paint on your manifold you are't driving it properly. B&Q BBQ paint is the best I've ever used. Still doesn't last forever though.
  4. I hit the kerb when turning into my lane once. Talk about deep throat!! Ruined my steering rack and bruised her tonsils.

    How would you tell?
  6. Well can you turn them off for me Gordy. Me and the lad are off fishing up the Brenig tomorrow. We won't melt or anything, but nicer when it's dry.
  7. So when you said go fix some King potholes you didn't mean the ones outside your house?
  8. I got pulled for "looking like a gypsy". Obviously didn't really look like a gypsy or they wouldn't have bothered
  9. Yep, most dumbest petition yet. They will probably pass this one.
  10. Rally design are usually cheaper, and i think Burtons get the springs off them anyway. Part numbers would suggest they do.
  11. Saw an old XJS today, looked proper nice and in damned good nick.
  12. My last tin of syrup lasted 5 years, so not really bothered about the warranty. The tins rust way before the syrup breaks.
  13. Has this ever actually happened to anyone?I don't mean a friend of a friend you once heard about, but proper did actually happen?
  14. Well I have decided not to fly anymore, but the other bit is still ongoing
  15. If it is at the end of April I should imagine there will be quite a few knocking about It's the CF tour
  16. When you get as old as me you rarely give a flying f*** what people think of you.
  17. How would you feel if some innocent person was tortured and killed due to people spreading these lies? Is it any different to what happened to Jamie Bulger? Don't get me wrong, what happened to that poor little lad disturbs me even now, but torturing and killing (because that is what will happen) someone that had nothing to do with it is no better in my book. It is bad enough that 10 year olds could do such a thing, but for adults to go out and do these things deliberately and in a premeditated way to what could easily be an innocent person is nothing short of sick.
  18. Made up according to this http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/black ... 6138383.jp
  19. Don't know for sure about Capri sizes but M8 usually does the trick. I always use bolts these days, no issues with them.
  20. Here's a question then. My new pinto is a 2.1 and a bit. Overbored with offset ground crank and xflow rods. Ported efi head with bigger inlet valves fitted. FR32 cam and all the new bits involved with that. lightened flywheel. Modified 32/36 sat on a modified inlet manifold. All put together by someone very clever with these things. It will be put into a Mk1 Capri. The Rover 200 I mentioned is in fact a Rover BRM and does set off pretty rapid when I try. Question is, will the pinto accelerate faster in the Capri than it did in the Rover?
  21. Well I didn't crash, and it has caused more injuries since then while sat on my didning room floor. People keep walking into it. Anyway, how do you know it wasn't wearing a seatbelt while in the car?
  22. Picked my new pinto up in a Rover 200. Wouldn't know it was in there mate.
  23. Yes I did, but it is not likely to cause it twice and they wouldn't arrest a 15 year old for charging batteries. Looks like it was malicious. What is this world coming to?
