Re: Your fleet running reports
BMW rocker cover leaks seem to be as consistent as full moons. Yeah, it's either that or the oil filter housing gasket, they seem to be evergreen pain points on BMW six pot lumps. The cam cover gasket can be cheaper at BMW dealers - my old BMW indie replaced one (or possibly two) for me and I ended...

Re: In a galaxy, far, far away... (Wick, early 80s)
What it's worth? A bloody fortune probably! I had a Luke Skywalker from the original film but it's long gone. I'm not sure it would have been worth the full whack with a chewed lightsabre anyway

Re: Your fleet running reports
My Audi did a full automatic emergency stop while I was away in Anglesey at the weekend. It was at a traffic light controlled crossroads where there was a car coming towards me slowly, indicating to turn, so I started to edge forward as I was turning right across him. My car must have thought there ...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
Do you spend your time there peering over the wall at accidents? I doubt Fail Army pay £250 a video though and I haven't seen You've Been Framed for years.

Re: Today’s want
It's not full jobbo (never go full jobbo, at least not with your own money), but how do we feel about the reddish brown dash top & carpet ? I imagine you will dismiss any input from me anyway, but I don't think there are any bad colour combos in a Range Rover. Even the slightly more extravagant...

Re: Your fleet running reports
You f course it is, it’s a fun project and I was all for doing a cheap 996 till prices went up 50% and the same poorly looked after cars were for sale. It’s a 300pkus hp Boxster with turbo whoosh noises. If anything I’d want some lag and a bit of drama. I wouldn’t be for it if he wasn’t the person ...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
Driver definitely at fault but the cyclist kept to the inside of the curve and didn’t help themselves. How should the Mini driver have avoided this accident? - they're making a, presumably, legal left turn, they don't seem to be driving with any significant speed. The amount of time between when th...

Re: Petrol Honda mowers
The sale of our old house should complete in about 2 weeks so I can then stop looking after the garden. It was more pleasurable when we got the benefit of it 😄 I have spent many hours today mowing and gardening - twice as long at the old place. I nearly brought my favourite mower back from it but th...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I fancy a fun project and I’m really impressed by how well it fits in the engine bay of a Boxster. This is the thread…. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=2015662 Looks like a lot of fun and would be the wife’s convertible. Dave! Normally I’d be sniffy about the idea of droppin...

Re: Today’s want
It's definitely a lot of car. It's also a lot of money. However ! For a Range Rover with more LWB, for less money, this is being auctioned next week. Check out what the state of the art was for in-car entertainment at the time. https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2024-05-11/cars/ref-91-1994...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Excellent choice of fun car. While I’m still waiting for sensible respray prices to happen (very unlikely 😂) I fancy either an E46 M3, evo 5/6, Porsche Boxster to put the Audi engine in or Aston Martin Rapide. RS6 removed from the list due to pain in the arse parts. The list of forum cars people ha...

Re: Oliver Reed (25 year anniversary)
I went to The Pub in Valetta in 2015 and they had some newspaper cuttings and details of his order prominently displayed. I’m sure they still do. He was a legend and it’s a nice pub, well worth a visit.

Re: 12Cilindri
It does look a million times better in silver than red, but that rear end is just bizarre. I thought it looked pretty meh at first, flicked through to the silver one and started to like it. The rear end is less odd to me than the hairline but the whole thing is more interesting than an 812/Superfast.
Re: Woman
I felt the same about the smoky outhouse. The next morning I always wondered if the food had been smoked or me. Did it not have a chimney or something?
