Re: For Sells Lotus Elise S1

118bhp??? No way with cam and throttle body upgrades or just PH defaults?

Fibreglass osmosis or microblistering of the paint? Osmosis might be a bit full on extreme if it's microblistered and can be sanded. dried and painted.

Even with that at 13k it seems good value.

Re: Dogecoin etc

I was chatting to a friend at the weekend who has invested in something called Hyperfund which looks to trade these low value coins. He's already got back his original investment having pulled it out via a crypto exchange but what would concern me is that he has introduced others (some investing qu...

Re: Your fleet running reports

My first i3 I bought during COVID as I needed a runaround and fancied a try in an EV. I really enjoyed it so ordered the s which upped the fun stakes. They were bought to try something new and really worked for me so no regrets. My wife's Sportage will likely be replaced with an EV in the next 12 m...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I've taken this as a green light as long as I move on the i3s so I've ordered an M2 for September delivery. Its nice to have something to look forward too. CAF 8-) But electric to petrol?

Re: Oliver Reed (25 year anniversary)

A very early supporter of lawnmower racing. He used to arrive at the 12 hour race having entered a team (obviously he never drove) with a double decker bus kitted out as a support vehicle (the kind of support was a bar, seating and hangout area for him and his friends) and proceed to embark on a mar...

Re: Your fleet running reports

The 1 355 I’ve been in felt like a kit car compared to the 1 360 I’ve driven. Proof if needed that the 360’is a better bet if you want to drive it.

Re: Parking

I've seen this where the spaces are up against a wall which could be stained by an exhaust if you were an idiot and sat there with your engine running, and I've also heard about malls insisting on this as it means their security have a few more seconds to nab you if you do a runner (as it's slower ...

Re: MC Conrad

Not really my genre, but I did catch him a few times at Dreamscapes in the early 90's with Bukem when they hit the main stage, far too young to go and he certainly didn't look ill in photos.

Re: Parking

That's pretty self explanatory, look at the angle of the car parking spots, it's not easy to reverse in as the angle will be too sharp. Only if you are a bit special, I looked at it there at the time and thought I could do it in a oner even in my L200 (which I can get in a few surprising spots). Mi...

Picked up a set of rear disc's and pads for the TVR from GSF today. That and a couple of cans of brake cleaner was a whole £61, branded Delphi stuff too. Would have been about £180 from a TVR parts supplier, but as they are just xr4×4 stuff there's a lot to be saved. Now just need to shake this cold...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

First one of those, the taxi is legally stopped but with reversing lights on, and then opens his door into the cyclist's path. So the cyclist has reason to feel aggrieved. But nobody hurt anyone and the 'Dutch reach' nonsense is fucking idiotic; cyclists are told to cycle further from stopped traff...
