The Littlest Hobo (oh, the shame!) Edit: Too slow!

Standard offset is 50. Spacers will take the offset further away from standard.

Aren't the UK rears opposed piston, not sliding like the J-spec fronts?

and you wouldn't want to fit the UK rears without the UK fronts......

Presumably that means you can park scrap untaxed cars in a chicane configuration every 50 yards, then......

It's my understanding that motorcycle oils have different additives because many bikes use the same oil for engine, gearbox, and primary drive/clutch.

I find that Google translation works best for Japanese. Still needs some imagination to get the meaning, though Yahoo Japan autos: http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/26318-category.html?

The typeface and size are now strictly regulated (so that all the speed and number plate recognition cameras can read them) http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/number_plates_registration_marks.aspx

Now that's a sentence very few people ever get to write!

but it's not part of the MOT

Because you didn't use right-click, copy shortcut. This is the only evidence I've seen of an A340 (from a Mk3 Supra) rebuild in the UK http://www.mark.lineisp.co.uk/autobox.htm Upgrade kit from IPT http://www.importperformancetrans.com/

How many times do I have to say this? THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO REGISTER "FIGHTING" BREEDS. or any other dog, with the exception of the four banned breeds (two of which were not fighting dogs anyway), and since you can't legally breed or import them, you can't register them.

I'd agree 100%. If the "devil dogs" in the Omen had been Black Labradors we'd be having this discussion about Labs, not Rottweilers.

Dogs of the Pit Bull "type", Dogo Argentino "type", Tosa "type", and Filia Brasiliero "type" are banned (they used the word "type" rather than "breed" in the legislation because it is impossible to scientifically distinguish one breed of dog from another -- genetically they are all wolves -- and they wanted carte blanche to kill any dog that looked vaguely like an American Pit Bull Terrier). There is no requirement to register any other breed of dog with the authorities, and given the length of time that the Dangerous Dogs Act has been in force, there can't be many, if any, registered Pit Bulls still alive (there never were any of the other three breeds).

There's a gross misapprehension for a start. The fighting and bull breeds were traditionally known for their good nature with people. The way dog fights were conducted, and the conditions in which the dogs were kept, meant that any dog which showed aggression towards humans had a very short life expectancy.

They cut you up because they don't bloody care. Sorry, but I don't see how the fact that it's taken him 20 miles to reach 57.9 mph gives a lorry driver the right to just pull out into a line of traffic which is travelling a lot faster then he is. If I was driving at 35 and pulled out into a line of trucks doing 58 I'd rightly be called a silly person.... except I can't do that, can I, because I'm not driving a sodding great truck which will just roll over any bike or car which is in the way. I do anticipate what they are going to do (riding bikes teaches you that VERY quickly), but sometimes they should just accept that they'll have to slow to 55.9 mph until it's safe to pull out. Lorry drivers and coach drivers have tried to kill me too many times over the last 38 years for me to have any respect for their courtesy and consideration for other road users. They're good at reversing though...

The dangerous dogs act banned the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Japanese Tosa (I think there was one in the UK at the time, the Dogo Argentino (none in the UK), and the Fila Brasiliero (none in the UK). God knows where the government got the latter two breeds from. To be precise, it banned dogs of the pit bill "type", which was why, with the active help of the RSPCA and a few vets who presumably saw it as a nice little earner, the authorities were able to kill anything from Staffordshire Bull Terriers to labrador crosses (the vast majority of which had not bitten anyone). (Give me 20 minutes and I'll tell you why I believe breed-specific legislation was crap then, and it would be crap now )

and don't forget to clean and re-grease the caliper sliders.

A report?

Ah, a "Brains" T-shirt. That takes me back... the smell of their brewery used to make me heave when I was a kid!

And the fact that they have to be muzzled. I'm guessing that it's in a country that doesn't have to worry about human rights legislation

Split radiator top tanks, broken fan shrouds.... just like a Soarer. It's good to know Toyota's standards are so consistent across different models

I didn't know there was a Vespa car.... Here's how it started life http://www.web-cars.com/Vespa/

Cayenne?

Why? You can enter a box junction if your exit (i.e. Viaduct Road) is clear. Maybe make the point that when you entered the box, Viaduct Road was clear
