It was getting close to £20,000 one year for my dad to service his vehicles. Then Covid happened so we starting doing them all ourselves. Collecting Cars also helped convince us to do it ourselves as we’d see all sorts of cars with massive service gaps but buyers seemingly didn’t mind. Although a ...

My dad said a few weeks ago he noticed someone staring intently as he was parking in the supermarket. He gets out the car and the person tells him there may be something wrong with his car as the rear wheels are pointing the wrong way

I use the TP link outdoor ones but can’t answer your question as I used them to fill deadzones.

I’ve watched some of the Reckless Ben video from 5 days ago. Putting the Lego theft aside it’s mental how corrupt the US cops are. Not even sure what’s in it for them and why they seem adamant to protect the Lego store owners. Really is an ass backwards place.

Edit - also thought this was some ...

It looks like an Audi prototype for the Murcielago. The grill looks like it's paying homage to Hitler.

You'd be happy with 270kw output in a car

What's a normal bath? Somewhere around 100 litres I assume?

The bath is filled with something other than water, the client is Baron Harkonnen AICMFP


On the basis that a small water butt is 150+ litres I’d assume it’s still much more if you want more than just your legs covered ...

No, at least not the factory one. Generally a more convenient solution is the half hood and you then remove the factory one which gives you much more boot space

My mate got a 70’s Beetle for his first car. Being a passenger in that at ...

They are currently discussing the fill time on a 1100 litre bath in the guest bedroom that will probably be used twice a year!

Have you fully furnished your room? Got a rug?

The gear knob

How much downforce do we need? All of it. Wings on wings on wings

Is it time to buy the dip?

I may be completely missing some detail, but why retrim it when you can just pinch the badge off the white wheel and glue it (presumably) to the black one?

These M5s are like busses.

Just Ian letting the side down now or is three a crowd?

It’s the Eletre round here. I don’t know if Lotus caved and suddenly sold them all for a super deal but I went from seeing one a month to 10 a day.

You’d need a lobotomy at that price. Mind you I think the E46 M3 Touring is worse. At least with the MX5 you get an upgrade and not just a bigger boot that you can’t realistically utilise because of the cost of the thing

£29k includes suspension and so on I think. The basic stage 1 engine is under £7k+VAT, so there's labour obviously in it too. I'd like to know a bit more about what you get for £29k; if you go for the £75k+ restomod you get a bare metal respray, so buying a car which doesn't need a respray must ...

I like it but at £29k it’s not very appealing. I prefer the Rotrex route, only up to 300bhp but DIY friendly and looks OEM+

Mito - 17 years
Defender - don’t know, maybe 10.
645 - don’t know but it’s been in the family since 2005.

Don’t really keep track of dates, just know the ages from the plates.

The good cars turn into pets and stay until it’s better to put them down.
