I suspect there's a lot of ADHD in the BASE jumping community. And dark humour. Very, very dark humour.

My uncle is a bit of a petrol head and had a white 8v identical to the one posted. It replaced his Mk2 Cav Sri that he had kept for years. It was fast but never handled as well as the cav. I remember when he was pushing it on abit the damping was a bit shit. It was a bit floaty as if the dampers we...

I'm surprised that I'm still under half the number of posts that JL put on this forum.

Happy shit poet day.

I have haggis, neeps, tatties and Buckfast in to celebrate.

My standard response these days is "Something Korean".

A former GF, affectionately known as Crazy Jen, had her car condemned and needed a replacement. She wanted a Freelander. I suggested a 4x4 Kia. She's very happy with the Kia.

Matty is correct.

Congratulations on outing yourself.

Jimmy's films he's finally getting round to watching Breakfast at Tiffany's Breathtakingly good. George Peppard was such a handsome young man and the interplay between him and Hepburn is wonderful. It's dated horribly with everyone smoking and the overt racism of Mr. Yunioshi being played by Mickey...

That's set me off looking at them on eBay :lol: Really loving the spec and consistency of servicing intervals on this one, sounds like a great example. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204605255874?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123856%26meid%3Df3...

I'd love to experience the mighty Jimmy.

We all would John, we all would.

I'm hoping to find some cash down the back of the sofa to fund a jaunt to Scotchland at some point this year....

I always thought these had more than 12bhp Jimmy? More like 18-20?

Officially, it's probably 80bhp or so.

A very generous offer of the use of the Jimny while the 535d's autobox was in bits has come to an end. I'm actually quite gutted to give it back. The Jimny reminds me of the Mk1 MX5. They're similarly mechanical, analogue and engaging. It's charming and fun at a licence friendly speed. I've previous...

The BMW is just back from the specialist. Reconditioned gearbox, torque converter and the diff oil has been changed. The changes are smooth and crisper than before. It will take some time to trust it again but I'm sure I'll forget all about that, stick it in sport and charge across country when I ne...

I've got a set of yellow tinted clip on glasses which seems to help but I do look like a total berk wearing them. https://forums.ov9.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=175462 As stated on that thread - I don't find them beneficial in full darkness as any reduction in glare is offset by a reduction in overall br...
