  1. That's the puppies plums mate It'll look great at Valley next month, very professional looking in a racing driver/car type way, now I must resist fettling a wrap of some kind Can't wait to see it in the flesh

  3. Paid £1.42/ltr in Skye on Monday The road back home through Kintail and Glencoe was worth it though
  4. Unless the car is getting some limiter kissing it still might not clear it out. My other car is like that. He says he isn't using water. Isn't black fuel problems and blue oil problems. Also I've never heard of injectors needing re calibrated how do you mean? Does that mean cleaned and checked. Black deffo oil, blue fuel It's not that common on modern injection systems but these days it'll be done by computer/plug in to re-set injectors/remap fuel injection. Like any metal, injector nozzles are subject to wear, and with some people putting fuel additives and other detergents in their fuel systems can cause a minor defect over time, more common on diesels but can happen on petrol vehicles, but essentially yes, cleaned and flow rate checked. As you've said I don't think this guy has any problem and it's likely to be cold/condensation being "burned" off.
  5. No bulb in the ashtray in the 370 , no ashtray
  6. Ah, re-read op, 10-20seconds? What he said^^. I had it in ma heid 10-20mins
  7. You are a weird little man dude More than you can imagine
  8. Injectors may need re-calibrated, black smoke=bad, grey/white=fueling problem.
  9. Thanks for the info, so no mad rush then Any news on the next moon landing though?
  10. What? Four and a half months in advance? Is this more popular than the Monaco Grand Prix There is a list running, when does the tickets have to be paid for? Who do we send the money to? By what date do you wish a "definate" confirmation? How much is it? Is there a club discount? Will man go to the moon again?
  11. Cela est vrai, un peu de français va un long chemin à un séjour réussi en France. Telle est la vie
  12. Absolutely stunning mate, the Gorge is a must do before you die road If you time it right, around 7 in the evening, it'll be empty, no camper vans, fookin euro boxes, mopeds or milk carts We stayed at a village called Le Salles sur Verdun for a week last year, it was great, locals were really friendly. We managed to hit the Gorge road on the way back up from Monte Carlo at 7ish, fookin wow!!! On the south side, it is stunning, all the apex's are visible for long stretches and you can have some serious fun, even my mrs was egging me on!! On reflection I would ideally like to hire a Gite in Moustier San Marie, prettier than a prettier thing at a pretty thing convention At Castellane, you can hit the Route Napoleon and blitz south to Monaco if you wanted, or take the time to go to a little village called Gourdon, best lunch I've ever had was there That whole region was made for sports cars, and although I did it in a Rex last year, the Zed would be comparable for enjoyment When you heading down?
  13. Looking to go back to around The Gorge du Verdun area or closer to the coast possibly, in the first fortnight in August. Mrs wants to go on a cruise, but I've nearly convinced her that, like uncle Albert from Only Fools, our ship is liable to sink I would move there in a minute, if funds allowed I usually get my way
  14. Was up Stelvio last June, it was only just clear of snow!! There's a web cam on the net somewhere for Stelvio, might be worth checking it out first
  15. show off No se puede todo el mundo hablan español? Google es tu amigo!
  16. Beautiful conditions for a wash, claybar and wax today Did the same on my black beastie, no piccies though Also dressed the tyres, what a lot of sh1t came off her at the claybar stage Doing the inside tomorrow Then off to Skye on Saturday
  17. Hola, buen coche que su compañero, en paradero en España es usted? Yo estaba en Lekeitio. Ainsa y Barcelona el año pasado. El amor las carreteras españolas, mi lugar favorito era Santiago de Compestella. Espero volver pronto
  18. 1. Jay 2. Irfan 3. Craig 4. Neilp 5. The G Man Irfan, you can keep company with us mate, forget the marmalade blob I'll be there, unless I'm very drunk or in jail or both
  19. Gonna need two clear days to sort mine of winter grime (poet as well ), just a note on the two bucket thing, I read on here somewher and it's a good tip, just use your hose to rinse out the washmitt before re-dipping in the bucket I still use two buckets, but full of soapy stuff, give it a double wash
  20. My bad, missed that, twice!! It simply won't be made then much prefer the Toyota FT86 http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=Toyota ... 63&bih=538 If it ever gets made
  21. You tend to get fewer miles with mods, this is because you want to hear or feel the "better" performance more often and probably drive a bit harder. First opportunity I get, I'm having the Uprev done at Abbey, this should calm my consumption down a bit, but that Akrapovic is just too damned addictive
  22. Ha! My Mrs will be pleased at this. I've got a Patterdale Terrier, nearly three, she is a great little dog in many ways but the problem I've got is her powers of recall are bordering on insulence. She can be fine off the lead, away from roads, most of the time, but as soon as she gets a scent, pesky wabbit or similar, she's off!!! Need some sort of Indian Rope trick type thing to quell this. She also likes to attack the letter box if our living room door is not closed, when the postman delivers mail, she doesn't rip the mail up, just grabs it and pulls it through the box, luckily the postie knows her and is fine with it. It's fun when it's some sort of leaflet dropper, and I erm encourage her , to deter future leafleteers!! No human or dog or human with a dog is allowed to pass our front window without a response, this can range from a subtle growl, to a full on "this window will not stop me" type assault. Apart from all that, she's a very loving animal, anyone can approach her and anyone can take anything off her. Any tips or help would be greatly received
  23. Hundreds of these in Limassol, all used as taxis Had both a an Escort Mk1 1.1 pop plus or something like that (probably worth more than the 370now ) and a Manta GTE, now if we like retro, what about a Fiat SuperMirafiori?
