Can't make 13th May, we are darn Sarf that week Baz Ickletash and Burns may be Ok though...

I used to come up with 'heat bumps' as a reaction to eating strawberries, but luckily I've grown out of that...

Where you taking it?

Looks like a Renault to me

Superb! Kids thought I was mad when I knew all the words almost 20 years ago!!

Kirk, bonked his way round the universe so if it works for him maybe I'll get a bit more tail? Didn't the Firm make a song about it? Star shagging across the universe Always going forwards under Captain Kirk! This one Scott?

I have 4 Anglias and a Mk1 Fiesta with FJ, no limited mileage, agreed value on 2 of them, fully comp, £115 a year

its hardly w**k material isit lol Did you see my kebab? !

Savvi is your man

The Anglia wouldnt take much sorting, new wheels and some other bits and pieces... Is that at Powderham?

When I was a lad (16) we used to drink breaker from the local offy, cheap, and they let us buy it! If i remember correctly, it was shit! Either that or a Party 4.

Or M23, A23 to Brighton then A27 along to Worthing, its only 12 miles from Brighton...

Quite a few years ago we had the same thought when we arranged a L2B for the Anglia Owners' Club. We contacted Brighton Borough Council (as it was then) and they said it was policy to keep vehicles out of Preston Park (the big park), and declined to give permission to use it. Might be worth a try again though, tell them that the Marina isn't available, money into the local economy etc etc...

and who put and 'S' in the word lisp?

Sellers can't leave negative these days Mr Sumo

John, Im not registered with TS, any chance of pasting the text? Is it near us? Smudger

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090325/ten-david-jason-apologises-for-joke-5f8abb3.html I don't think this is racist myself, it is not having a dig at someone's race or religion, its more a play on words, although I could be persuaded otherwise maybe? I beleive that this political correctness has gone to the extreme. discuss

I seem to remember that some members on here wanted 'idiots guides'. I have copied the pic and marked up the parts, and added a brief description. I hope it may be of some use. And I'm sure people will comment if I get it wrong!! 1. Cross member - bolts between the chassis rails, and some of the steering and suspension components attach to it. The engine normally mounts to brackets on the cross member (X-member) in the engine bay. 2. Track control arm - this bolts between the bottom of the strut and the cross member, and keeps the front wheels the correct distance apart (thereby controlling the track), while allowing up and down movement of the wheels, as well as rotation of the bottom of the strut to allow steering. These can be made adjustable. The camber of the wheels (how upright they are) can also be altered by lengthening them (negative camber) or shortening (positive camber). If these are of a different length to design, it may induce bump steer. This is where the pivot for the track control arm and the steering rack are in different places, and as the wheel is forced up on a bump particularly when cornering, the steering linkage/rack turns the wheel with no driver input. 3. Track rod - is part of the steering rack, or on a car with a steering box is a rod with a joint at each end. These push the front wheels round to steer the car. The steering rack or linkage will ensure that the inside wheel takes a tighter turn than the outside wheel on a corner. 4. Antiroll bar - does just what it says on the tin, by twisting when the car is cornering. It is designed to try to stop some body roll, and therefore keeping both front wheels on the road. The ARB also keeps the front wheels in the correct position front to back, or they would move back particularly badly under braking, and the tyres would hit the rear of the wheel arch/A pillar area!! Hope this is of help to some, and I'm sure others will have bit to add or take away!!

How to win friends and influence peope, Antz stylee

I don't think anyone wished Jade dead, but my paper today has eleven pages about her in it. People were just saying enough is enough. She was no saint, no more then anyone else. She was not very well educated (does Saddam Hussein play cricket?), and was involved in racist rows on her second BB excursion. I did not wish her dead, and sympathise with those close to her, it is always difficult when someone so young dies. But maybe we can get back to our own lives, and let her and her family be. Jack Tweedy seems to be a rather nasty piece of work too, been done twice for beating people up, once with a golf club! Jade should have given him the heave-ho if she was so angelic. Is he even the kids' father?

Classic and Capri owners are quite often touchy about their cars being correctly named. The coupe, 2 door car is a Consul Capri, and the 4 door 'Anglia' style rear window is a Consul Classic. No such thing as a Classic Capri

The estate is the only car we have with a tow bar at the moment, so if we take the trailer, it will be the Estate.
