It's fine anyway, only 2.5 years more to go

It's the mid-terms in November. If the Democrats take control of the Senate and the House, he'll be pretty much neutered - not to mention the incredible meltdown he'll have will be a joy to behold!

That body is fibreglass, right? So presumably they could have designed a new body that didn't look like it was designed by a 5 year old.

Helped eldest miket swap over the thermostat on his car on Sunday morning. Whilst ordering the replacement part, I allowed myself to drift back to the good old days when this was an absolute doddle of a job > two or three bolts, swappy swappy thermostat (and possibly a gasket) replace bolts, cup ...

In the continuing subwoofer saga, sent back the underseat one as it just didn't work and bought a more recommended one. Test wired it up and it works a treat, so that's progress. However it's too tall to fit under the passenger seat (928 seats are VERY low - about 70mm of clearance), however bouyed ...

Put some diesel in the Skoda yesterday - £1.79 per litre. It was £1.70 at the weekend. At this rate, it's going to be cheaper to daily the 928.

Sub update. Decided to buy an all in one underseat sub. Wired it up, turned everything on and nothing. No output from the sub whatsoever. Sub is turning on but no sound from the unit (regular speakers are fine). I then wondered if the Bremen's sub-out was not working so tried using the amp out ...

Strangely, the best and usually cheapest place to buy genuinely Porsche parts is your local OPC, especially if you ask for "club discount". Most stuff for the 928 is special order from Germany but it generally only takes 3-5 days. Rose Passion in France have most things too but their insistence on ...

So after a lot of fucking about, I've failed to get the sub working. The head unit is outputting a signal, but the amp doesn't seem to want to drive the sub. I suspect the amp might be duff. Fired an email off to the supplier to see what they have to say.

Noticed the fans were coming on as soon as ...

Yeah, I tried to convince myself of that too, but things like two week turnarounds on ECU repairs, older fuel injection systems, etc make me nervous.

That and now, a 944 might feel like a slower, less practical Z4C.

I'll probably still keep looking at them though :lol:


Mike at JDS Porsche ...

It wasn't hated, just the bottom of the pile, the Austin Montego Estate. It's ownership was sandwiched between Cortina/Granada estates and then some Carlton estates after that, but the Montego always felt like the lame duck amongst all of those. I think it was dark blue. Dad bought it at auction ...

My dad was famous for buying utterly shit cars in woeful condition that he'd work on, fix up (with my help) and when it was something like decent (or as decent as it could be) he'd sell it on and buy another woeful shitbox. Low lights include :

Moskvitch 1500
Austin Princess
Austin Ambassador (tbf ...

I have similar feelings about 944 S2s

There was one going in Scarborough for about two grand back when I had the Puma, needed the sills welding but otherwise looked OK. Should have just got a loan and bought the fucker.

They're not *mad* money now but they're not cheap - and they're definitely ...

I remember looking at both of these in the early 2000's. Almost bought the Skyline (in gun metal grey) for £5995 but rejected it as the boot was too small for a pushchair :roll: . The Honda was £12K and would have had to have been financed as it would ...

Spotted this in Tenerife while I was on holiday and totally forgot to post when I got back.

When was the last time you saw one of these?

Kinda putting that aside on what Starmer did or didn’t do and looking at the state of the UK Navy. What the actual fvck happened there. We’ve had 2 years of the cunts telling us to get battle ready and the government did nothing themselves. Apparently we spend 50% more on the armed forces than ...

If only there was a method to replace tyres, maybe get new ones....oh well, a man can dream though. A man can dream...

At least you can have a roadside party while waiting for recovery!

It's a space saver, unique to the 928 and very much NLA!

Wheel well subs are fairly common now, especially on the VAG side. The Up has a "Beats Audio" upgrade which includes it....problem is, you can now longer fit a spare wheel, and on our British roads, I know which I'd rather have....


The Bose sub will fit nicely inside the space saver spare wheel ...

I now need one!!

Dave!

They're pretty cheap on eBay. Just search for Nissan Murano Bose Subwoofer (My model number is Bose 28170 CA10A). There are some that have an amp built in - the letters and numbers at the end are different.
