  1. It crashed like Matt Bowey trying to exit a round about.
  2. My only advice is to take the RE040 off.......fill it with petrol and then set fire to it
  3. Holy thread revival!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rather than start a new thread I'll revive and query..................may sound like a stupid question but why do you need petrol resistant lacquer? Appreciate that its in the engine bay but there shouldn't really be petrol flying round the place should there? From what I've ready the petrol based stuff is a beggar to use? The sanding flap drill bit is making short work of the paint on mine
  4. As expected funny as hell but not as good as the first. Well worth a watch though. Nice car that Chow drives too - is it one of those mental Lexus'ususess?
  5. HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Pay me £100 and I'll personally paint myself Blue, come round your house and act it out! You've no chance mate - ebays a pretty good barometer of how available things are.........in this case its telling you they're like rocking horse muck.
  6. +1 didn't see the link before my first post. That zorst is pi**ed up - doesn't look stock either? Neither are necessarily a big deal (just take it to you local friendly garage to sort it).......if it is aftermarket you will need to declare it to the insurance. Stock looks like this - note the length of the pipe compared to yours. This is longer and looks to be full stainless
  7. If its any consolation I reckon the worst noise would be the sound of your own testicle popping after being stamped on
  8. They probably can but only in instances where a fraud was involved. You should be ok mate.
  9. I loved the Probe when it first came out......but the time I could afford the insurance on one the Cougar was affordable so I opted for one of them. Should be a few linkies in and pics in this thread re the black rays. Loads of us have had it done. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=47928&hilit=minx+has+been Taddy has a similar look to what your talking about - black on black on black on black Looks Get some piccies up of your car when you get it
  10. I might even 'clean my lower plenum' .....errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr On a side note I found an amazing drill bit that looks like this Before it started raining it was performing an amazingly quick job of stripping my strut brace down to bare metal! Definitely a quicker job using this and it wasn't leaving nasty scratches either! Got this for the plenum and
  11. But nuclear power still requires Uranium doesn't it? Surely they're not carrying enough Uranium to cover 20 years of constant travelling! Thats beyond impressive if it does.
  12. Me too but it was about a squillion pounds more in CF and you live on the other side of the world so I can't steal yours
  13. Get an older house but get a specialist survey done to highlight any issues. Its a bit like getting a Zed; - you can get a well looked after older one with high miles that is super tight (but expect routine maintenance) - you can get a trashed newer one for the same price that before too long might need some of the bigger jobs doing. - you can get a trashed older one that will rape you wallet until the end of time - you can get a well looked after newer one but you'll be comprimising on spec or paying a premium. I live in a newish build FTB'er house. They're like egg boxes mate - luckily ours is only a 2 bed so the rooms are a decent size but there is still no storage space for anything. You start looking at 3 bed new builds and they're basically 2 bed size with smaller rooms. Do yourself a favour and get an older one thats been well looked after. Rooms will be bigger, they generally appear more 'well built' (so my grandad used to say anyways). An indepth survey is an absolute must though - otherwise you could be stuck with any number of hidden nasties. Don't forget NHBC/Zurich municipal won't cover you for every little thing that goes wrong - I'm pretty sure its only major stuff like building defects. So unless you have a 'disaster' in a new build they're not that much use. EDIT - http://www.nhbc.co.uk/NHBCPublications/ ... 421,en.pdf NHBC only covers building defects.
  14. You should of dragged it out for longer than that mate!
  15. It seems to be sitting flush in the flesh (ooo errr) but I see what you mean on the piccie. I think there is a little bit of black sealant that just needs trimming off.
  16. Decided to push the boat out and get a spoiler which was fitted last week. Big thanks to EPRacing for the merchandise! Fitted last week - I was a bit unsure about the CF look before it went on but I think it fits well with the Black wheels and badges. I'm sure its not to everyones taste but hey ho we can't all be the same!
  17. No one rocks the double denim like I do! I think I might burn that shirt or wrap the engine cover in it as a lasting testament. When is the grand unveiling then?
  18. only pulling your leg mate......you are Frodo to Husky's Samwise At least you didn't look like you'd just come off the set of Brokeback Mountain.
  19. Also you want to get on the day trip to Catalina and the 'Natural Swimming pool'..........they're a bit touristy but they're things you just have to see. Remember the people in the Dom are very poor so you might get a little bit of hounding for a dollar here and there (especially from kiddies) - they mean no harm so nothing to worry about. Same with the hotel (your undoubtedly all inclusive)the peeps there work really hard......tips are usually well appreciated. Also watch yourself with the cocktails........ alcohol tends to be the main ingredient!
  20. Looks lovely mate. Now go get some of this and go crazy on the tail pipes!
  21. Thats going to be one fast puppy. You'd only be able to drive it at night though.........otherwise people would throw rocks at it in the street.
