  1. Saw one of these a few days back and i have to say, it didn't look so nice. Of course it's reliable and awesome to drive because it's a Honda but, man-o-man is it Marmite.
  2. Yes, i'm sure that raised his brow somewhat. Hopefully - and it probably will - it'll make him think twice in the future about doing ridiculous speeds on a country road like that. I've done some stupid things in my life while driving and whilst it was never quite in the caliber of the young man in the VT, it definitely made me think about what a c**k i was.
  3. Dear god, That's just so sad. Of course, there are no words that make it better. All i can do is offer a truly heartfelt sorry for the loss of a good friend/person/father/son or possibly brother to whoever it concerns.

    Leather seats in your four!! Quite rare. And bloody cold in this weather.
  5. The north starts where chippies sell chips with gravy instead of ketchup.
  6. This morning @ 8 ish. East road, Cambridge. Looked like it had an ARK system. 5 spoke black wheels with polished rims. Sounded nice.
  7. i think Lincoln is south of the North. I think it's the most southern point in the North where people sound like southerners until they say " grass, pass and glass etc.
  8. Lincoln is without question in the North. And only people in London pronounce "nuts" as "nats" or "house" as "ass"
  9. How about a 5th gen ford Thunderbird. I've always quite liked these. Suicide rear doors!!
  10. Personally (as i have been in a similar position to you in the past) i'd buy a bucket, run it into the ground as a daily, save the cash for when you really know what you want. In fact, i'm kind of doing that now. I sold my e90 M3 and bought a e46 330ci for £600 which works just fine , a little bubble of rust on the rear arch but i don't care. I've got cash in the bank and it's going to be thrown at the Pulsar to finish it off, as that's now my fun car. Or like Ekona said, get a kia on lease. I think it's a great idea. Cheap as chips and you can bide your time, stroke your tash like villain until the day comes to buy something that has caught your eye.
  11. Very, VERY nice!! Looks superb. Really love the shape of the 370GT. A bit overlooked but shouldn't be. Cracking cars., looks like a symphony of evil in black too
  12. impressive, very impressive. while some people have mentioned that the 4.4 - 100 mph is pretty pointless, surely so must be the 100 - 150 mph test. where are you going to do that? i doubt it's a car people want to drag down Santa Pod. Anywho, Very impressive though. I'd still take the porker over the Tamiya.
  13. God, so annoying, people's stupidity / inconsideration of other people's property.
  14. i watch this show a lot. i love it, i'd love to chat to Wayne about cars for a while.
  15. They can insist all they like and it is probably true that they can fix it, but that doesn't matter. You have made your decision and they have to honour it and they have to give you the list price. End of.

    A good friend of mine did exactly what you did not long ago on his ST205. Bought a HKS SSQV, didn't like the sound, so changed it. Sounds like waste gate chatter now. I'd've thought that the stories you hear about ring land failure are from those who don;t look after their cars as they should. In the ten years i had my Four and was part of the forum i came across this problem a handful of times. I wouldn't take it as gospel. Of course it happens, but like i said, it tended to be those who crank up the boost and rev the nads off it and never check the oil.
  17. What he said, take the money, run and re-group for something new. Put the zed to bed and look forward to exciting times ahead.
  18. Just a few hoses then!! Kudos for doing that, looks like a proper ball-ache. Grazed hands and cut fingers?
  19. Yeah, that's an ugly duckling that will grow to be....... and ugly duck.
  20. Core blimey governor! Your nips should be able to cut glass!!
  21. Yep, old Cortinas and Granadas too. God knows why.
  22. Early 90 Jap cars, they're going up in price all the time. The Gt-four, Scoobie, Evo, Supra (even the asthmatic NA) , GTO, Pulsar GTIR, Sunny GTI and yes the NSX. Generally i don't think most of them are too overly priced but DC2, EK9 Type Rs , AE86 and apparently the NSX, stupid money.
