The G Man

If I said to you and the countless other selfish citizens, pay the £5k taxes you're obligated to and can afford to, rather than £500 to a tax spiv to avoid them and you will have a governance system that works and be proud of, you would rather do the later? Probably sums up some sectors of society quite well, allows us all to moan though eh?

Agree with all this , Morgan driver clearly a muppet and didnt see him or more likely misjudged the speed of the 206 but those Peugeot brakes do seem poor , even after the impact it takes a lot to stop it The pug driver didn't run into the Morgan due to the perceived shortcomings of brakes/tyres on that car, he ran into it because the bellend that was driving the Morgan was, well, a bellend who tried to pull off a dangerous manoeuvre. If the Morgan had waited, or pulled out sensibly, there would have been no impact, 'poor' brakes or not.

i REALLY need to get a dash cam fitted! Yup, me too, I think that these are a necessity these days.

This reminds me of when I was on my way to a dealers to do a trade in deal for a new car. On approaching a Motorway exit that formed a junction with the A road I was driving down, an old bellend in a Merc pulled out from the jct right in front of me, I tried to steer round him while hammering the brakes ( so much in fact I broke the brake pedal sensor under the brake pedal), nope, to no avail, he just kept coming out. After getting out and being somewhat bewildered at his stupidity, I stayed calm and asked if he was ok, his exact words were 'sorry son, I just didn't see you', I felt a bit sorry for him then but fair play he was admitting, to a point, liability. So after all the usual phone calls etc, my car was still driveable, his was dead. He then came up to me and said, again exact words,'I think you were going a bit too fast' I replied, 'So what you're saying is, you thought I was going a bit too fast and then decided to pull out in front of me?, I might have to get the police now as you've just tried to kill me!' 'I suggest you have a think of what you are saying and just inform your insurance of the facts' My car was taken away to be repaired that day, with his insurance admitting full liability:)

On the face of it, not being able to see or know what is to the left. Morgan driver seems to be a bit of a bellend. The road ahead closes down from 2 carriageways, so Pug may have been going at 'excessive' speed to overtake something? Guy in the Morgan was showboating, that was not a normal drawing out of a junction. I like the pug dog BTW, the guy with it looks a bit creepy

Happy Ford Mustang Day! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/ford-mustang-day/

Apologies to all, these, as it turns out aren't suitable for the 350/370, could an admin/mod please delete the thread

More like 25k, just Spec' done up, 35k, for a runaround, which it seems to be for, why pay nearly 60k? Audi, VW and Porsche will rape you on options, your money though

:cry: :cry: Just under £3k more than what I paid for the Mk1 in 2013, £2.5k more than I paid for my Mustang, it's your money Edit: just spec'd up if I was buying the same car today, £40,485, looks like I got a bargain I'd still buy it

Will, this was a random suggestion from my Mrs, it came as a complete surprise , had a play later in that holiday with a Maserati Quatra Porte, we both loved that, two very lovely V8's on some of the best Tyrolean roads Italy has to offer. South of France this year for us, but I'll be back to Italy next year

I've been to Italy a few times on road trips, Garda and Como, Como for easier access to Stelvio, Garda, especially the northern 2/3rds is an epic piece of scenery. We've come in from France, Switzerland and Austria, the entry in from Austria through the Timmelsjoch pass is without doubt one of the most stunning passes I've ever motored over, takes you from the Austrian Tyrol to the Italian Tyrol. On my IPad so posting lots of pics in one go is challenging for my limited skills on this post, I'll edit as I upload some photos of what to expect. This is the old Austrian/Italian frontier and comes straight out the blue. Italy and the Italians are genuinely charming, not got a bad word to say about the place or people. I'd get on YouTube if I were you and search for motoring trips in northern Italy to give you a better idea. You'll need to translate this http://www.alpenpaesse.co/ITALIEN-Timmelsjoch_p325 You can expect to wander places like this: Bologna is a beautiful little city, very close to Modena and the Ferrari and Ducati factories, good base for Monza as well, hope you have a great time

No silly, that only protects you from having your thoughts stolen by satellites. Durrr. Oh sh1t!

Just put your tinfoil hat on, guaranteed survival.........

Yup agreed! Ford...... GT

I'm surprised you find time for work

Pirelli's are fine for dry grip, very good in fact, in the damp/wet, downright dangerous, I'm running 19's on Pirelli's, survived the winter Just my experience, I'll be changing to MPSS or MPS4S soonish.

I would have just sent a 'Please confirm total shipping' message, before purchase.

Replied

Best yet tonight, made all the better by virtually zero input by the Rory fella

Forgot to add this will be fitted with a flat blade:

For sale as the title says, 4 x 20mm Spacers, brand new, never been used. I bought these from America, American Muscle or RPI, I can't recall now. They will fit the 350/370, I needed a slightly bigger set for my Mustang (23 & 25mm), for a more suited stance. Top quality, unmarked and many folks are running them. Picture only shows 2 but trust me there are 4 £120 + P&P for all 4. Edit: Sorry for the second edit internal dial is 66.1, OD is 70.5, so all good I think

Willis Jeep, defined what the land rover became, does that make it definitive? My head hurts reading the last 8 pages, however I am on the loo having a pooh, so it passed away the time

Going here, we'll close by, driven and canoed this though

This arrived yesterday

Warwickshire, see loads of AM's being tested around Gaydon, then there's the motor museum?, Shakespear country for a bit of culture? Just as an aside, Wales is got to be closer than the Lake District from Essex? If you're still needing a 'gearbox' clearout, taking a Lambo on a cross channel ferry should sort you out
