I'd say we go for a front wheel drive car, just for the extra understeer-esq challenge :-) Nothing above class-A though, as it just gets silly. Why not restrict it to a Class+Drivetrain+Aspiration? I.e Class-A / FF / NA or Class-A / MR / Turbo etc? Then people can have a variety.

warioware is suitable I think, it's quirky Mario Party 8 is great. Been a fan since Mario Party 4 Oh what's the pack that came with the extra remote.. Wii Play! It's a collection of 8 mini-games that use your saved 'mii' player characters on the wii. Thinks like a 'where's wally' game, UFO shooting, fishing etc. Nice and fun little games, would recommen that for young uns. Eledees is pretty good. There's a marble game as well, but that really requires some dexterity and patience. Missus didn't like it

Hey folks, Hopefully as soon as I've sold the 2nd soop I will buy a sensible run-around for day to day use (i.e get in multistory carparks without praying for the front splitter). I've never actually owned a car that wasn't a supra. So I need a lil advice! Would anyone be able to recommend anything on a budget of around £1500-2000 for a sensible car? Oh yeah, and possibly not french, as it seems my friends citreon/peugeots seem to have gearboxes made of cardboard and hope. Looking at small engined diesel/petrol golf maybe at the moment. 2 door, 4 door, 5 door, any door. Just gotta be cheap, reliable, no-thrills.

101 WPM with 3 mistakes At school there was a typing game - you were a racing car and the faster you typed the faster the car went, I think that really helped me learn how to type. Anyone fancy getting one of these? http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/11/21/wolfking_warrior_xxtreme/

It's gotta be the Nurburgring all the way... I remember setting a 6:48 in a ferrari on Forza 1, I haven't tried to push yet in Forza 2 :-) On a side note anyone got a decent rank on the timings for Gran Turismo HD?

KB PM'd you phone numbers if you want to arrange a viewing. Anyone please come and have a look

Hehe my girlfriend lives in Herbert Avenue in Alum Chine. If you see a red UK one around that area it's probably meeee! You're quite welcome to come view it any evening. I'll PM you my personal + works mobile. As people have said, it's a very tidy example, excellent mechanically and it's had no expense spared on parts and labour. The hi-fi's so crystal clear I'm looking to buy the same kit again and for my new one

Hi! Car hasn't sold yet, I live in Christchurch. Anywhere near?

Ooops I forgot to mention. Chilli tea is good to drink as it invigorates you as well as speed up your metabolism - so it's good to drink as part of calorie burn / weight loss!

I thought it was meant to be a mix of body language (70%?), how you say it (20%?) and what you actually say is 10%... I learnt today that instead of staring down fibre optics at work to check if there's a shortwave signal I should just put a piece of white paper in front of it.... Oh and don't worry kids, it's only the Longwave lasers that burn your retinas out. Like the ones my friend had in her eye surgery - if an eye takes too long (20 seconds instead of 2) you start to smell as well as hear your eyeball sizzling/cooking. Mmm. Lasers - just say KERPOWW!

If you like Green tea and up for a bit of excitement check out teapigs.co.uk http://www.teapigs.co.uk/products/tea/adventurous-tea/ - Chilli tea! They also do some cracking green tea. All delivered to your doorstep. Oh and don't have the chili tea with milk...

You really are a walking Supra encylopedia Simon... Thanks again for your help (it's probably the 100th time I've said that now...) Simon

Hi, I'm looking to buy an aeroquip FC333 hose from thinkauto.com to have as my oil return hose from the turbo to the sump. Does anyone know what kind of fitting is required for the sump end? Thread diameter etc... as would really like to get connectors rather than push on + jubilee clip. Hoping someone does as it's a pain in the *** to take the turbo off, hoses and all to find this fitting. Cheers! Simon

Hey guys, calm it down please Unfortunately car has still not sold yet Come on, someone must surely want a lovely well looked after manual NA somewhere?

Hi All, I seem to be having a problem with the revs dropping below idle (idles 650 - drops to 100-200rpm!) when the car's warmed up - i.e no choke. Car has no problems at high revs, high speed and always starts first time. What occurs if let's say I pull away from standstill, low throttle, get to 2000rpm and let my foot off the throttle the car will drop the revs sometimes to the idle point but sometimes lower - causing the engine to nearly stall and the steering to go heavy due to the fact the belt's slowing down... battery light comes on etc, sometimes it stalls but most of the time it recovers and goes back to the 650-670rpm idle. This only happens when in D, in R, L or 2 it doesn't occur I suppose due to the fact they don't in a way drop to neutral. I just realised I haven't tried this when the car is at a standstill in N, that I will have to try tomorrow. The revs issue also does not occur at high speed but it's causing me a few issues as sometimes I'm coming off a roundabout low throttle, let off and the car nearly stalls whilst at 20-30mph! I have tried a reset of the ECU, taking the boost controller out, also unplugging the emanage blue I have. None appear to make any difference to the problem. Apart from the idle control valve not keeping the revs at idle point what else could this be? BTW this is on a UK-Spec with a T70 single conversion.

Hi All, The storm virus/malware is masquerading as a halloween jaunt. Just don't click any links for emails saying to go look at dancing skeletons etc.... usual spam. clicky - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/31/halloween_storm_spam/ Si

Reduced the price!

Had one on N/A with both cats, really nice and quiet on idle. I like you had the same qualms, normally have to start the car at 6am, sometimes even at weekends to go to work. It's lovely, idle it's quiet, maintaining speed on motorway it doesn't drill into your cortex and it does give a nice sound when going for it...

I was though and stated it at the start of the call but did me no good! I think Sky are investigating this and will hopefully find this person and have a little head-to-head with a bit of 2x4 with a nail in it.

Elephant weren't that bad on my j-spec NA. I'm 26 with 2 years NCB and it was £640 Sky only told me their underwriters had a complete blanket ban on under 30's for TT's, UK or J-Spec. Sky wouldn't even *call* them to check if having drived an NA for 6 years would count for something. I would seriously recommend though calling A-Plan and talking to Chris at the Thatcham branch, the guy bends over backwards to help you. Stellar bloke. Uk-TT, mods declared, agreed value and everything, it still came out cheaper than anyone else. +1 for getting A-Plan to be our club insurers. Chris at A-Plan said to get someone from mkiv to call up his boss there and maybe sort out a deal

Ditto I had that two weeks ago. Sucks eh? Didn't even help me that I'd been driving a J-spec NA for nearly 6 years since I was 20.

Hi, After a braided oil return pipe, been told to get a boostlogic one? Looking to get one with screw threads on both ends, as currently just have a braided hose + jubilee clips on it... It's to fit a T70 single turbo conversion. Cheers

I was with Elephant on a NA J-spec - £640/10 months Just bought a UK-TT spec, declared turbo, bodykit, exhaust + wheels etc - £639/12 months. Check A-Plan, I'd recommend talking to Chris in the Thatcham branch - 01635 874 646 - Top bloke.

*bump* Surely someone wants this? Buying G9RGE's tomorrow! It's gotta go!

Pictures up, sorry 3 are on photobucket.
