  1. I changed jobs and had been self employed. I was just sorting my finances out and had a lovely bit of cash (£1500) set aside for a new car (Supe). Then I got a tax demand in the post.... for £1500...AAARRGGHHH
  2. Get the lower clip from Mr T for about £3. Replaced mine a couple of weeks ago.
  3. I like that idea, but I think its already available... called Ebay Still, it would be (and is with the current for sale section) nice to know the cars you were looking at were from club members only and not some micky mouse importer selling a dud; while also allowing members to decide the value of the car by placing bids rather than the seller just guessing at a price.
  4. Dremel will do it with a ceramic edged cutting blade such as aluminium oxide. Will cut it nice & clean too. You can get these Dremel type tools (cheap versions) most places for about £20 or less, including at Agros.
  5. Yeah, pillar pod along with some other nice guages such as EGT and/or AFR
  6. I used to work at Ricardo in Shoreham where the battle of Britain memorial flight engines are rebuilt. I had the pleasure of running up the merlins on the testbed for running in & comissioning. Its a lovely sound, but when its 10 feet away screaming at full chat it don't half hurt your ears even with ear plugs & ear defenders. The scream of the supercharger could be heard nearly a mile away. A superb piece of British engineering.
  7. Lives near Shoreham, not a club member IIRC.
  8. Deep breath in......... and relax I think its time for a group hug I apologise if anyone was offended by my posts on the original thread.... espcially the pic of my Mrs with her ar*se in the freezer That was off topic, but included for comedy value
  9. I'm giving up. Its too late for this cobblers. Night all, play nicely xxxx
  10. I'm not replying.... not worth it And no sheep please.........
  11. Each case is taken on its merits, so I'm told. Magistrates are normally fairly reasoned people and its more down to the qualiy of the legal advice you employ more than the offence. Its amazing what a top barrister can do to get people off. We may have to agree to disagree on this one
  12. I wouldn't say 6 points and £250 is pampered. Its half a licence and quite a bit of cash. Police have to be seen as whiter than white, never puting a foot wrong or making a mistake at work or in their personal lives..... Be at the beck and call of the public and pamper to their every whim while taking constant physical and verbal abuse. Getting multiple formal complaints from "the salt of the earth" that lead to disciplinary hearings just because some crim wants to get off sott free by accusing the officer of whatever they fancy. In the police you're actually guilty until proven innocent! The public perception is very wrong, but there again so is society. I agree it was wrong for the officer to speed. Its wrong for anyone to speed but everyone will continue to do it. Why should an off duty officer be treated any differently & lose their job because of a speeding conviction. Most people at that speed would not loose their licence.
  13. And no one on this forum has ever exceeded the speed limit by a fair margin.... i.e. over 77 mph in a 70 which is the ACPO recommended limit for prosecution??? I *may* have done
  14. Where's the vote for the naked Supra owners section??
  15. Kranz

    Cold start

    If it does stick at this speed for ages it'll pobably be something like the idle speed control valve (ISCV) that is crudded up & only unsticks when the engine gets hot. Oh, and do you want fries with that .....Big Mac? I'll get me coat
  16. You have a PM. Are they std bearing or ball?? What size on the housings??? Ta Steve
  17. Of course... take my car too, that's free.... In fact take my Mrs, and the dog, and the house... and the clothes off my back On second thoughts... NO
  18. A bit of "chef's special"??? I'll get my coat! Gone
  19. If it doesn't fit my TT I'll pass it on to you or Underworld mate.
  20. Oops... double ghostly postie thingy!
  21. Yep, thanks Wayne. Good meeting Heckler too Keep us informed of the new project! Steve
  22. In a marked police car pulling out from a set of lights that have just gone green on a roundabout in Worthing. As we pull away a van speeds round the roundabout through a red light and narrowly misses our car, only because I shout at my colleague that he isn't going to stop and she slams on the anchors. The driver is more than apologetic, to say the least. Cost him £60 and 3 points, and it was definately a pleasure!
  23. I'm surprised that he didn't try and melt the hole closed again with a blowtorch A contender for the Darwin awards????
