...on my first car, a 1.0L 'sport back' mk1 Polo...which came with colour coded burgandy wheel hubs...I 'came across' a wooden gear knob and electric aerial which I fitted - dead proud I was - looked crap it did. Althought the aerial was not that bad, just that it was worth more than the car

Aaaaaah ok, had some nice days recently for driving mate - through the big freeze as well that we traditionally get in Feb

Plastidip on my Zeds handles, they look shocking

Why so long?

Have been ferrying around the wife in the Focus a bit lately so not been using the Zed for a couple of days, then yes step back into it and you realise it has a fair bit of ooompf! Nearly stalled it as the clutch was so immediate and heavy!

Should be fine at the moment but no harm in giving the car a good look over yourself/with brother - I wouldnt worry about taking it into a garage so soon - I heard cars like Mitsubishi Evos need constant servicing but from what I have seen the Zeds are made of tougher stuff. Just check oils, fluids etc yourself I would say if it had a service 4k miles back.

If you mentioned you didn't have a manual and that you did a google search for it (where you can find it on page 1 of the search results as it happens) and turned up nothing then I am sure Lexx would not have referred you to reading it and the subsequent unnecessary sarcasm

There is always opportunity, no matter where you are and what you do...but if you are not happy you have to look at what you are doing and why you aren't happy. Is it purely that you have gone off the kind of work you do, or is the the company, or even just a single employee? Identifying the problems helps you find a solution. I would also have a good think about what you are passionate about, often it can lead you in good directions with regards to a career change - ask most employers and a passionate employee is worth much more to their business than a 9-5er who happens to have done a course 10 years ago in something relevant. Good advice above though, life isn't a rehearsal, get a good plan, think it through and go for it.

Well thats how competitive the Scottish Premier League is, Rangers go into administration, docked ten points, still in second place, nine points clear of third

Nice looking wheels, need a refurb at some point but not bad if you want some cheap 19s! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-4-19-Split-350Z-Alloy-Wheels-Deep-Dish-8-5-9-5-Split-Widths-/130648220191

Hmmm could be a switch that used to be attached to some ICE in the boot? The worst thing that could happen is that you follow it back and you find a frayed wire at the end and nothing attached to it...leaving you thinking 'what was it!'

This is awesome...although I am worried its going to be something very boring like it turns on a light in the boot area or something!

Important this actually...Red Bull is primarily for mental energy, so yes you will in the short term have a 'buzz' effect however it will mask physical tiredness. So even if you think quickly, your body will be unable to respond. Once you drink this stuff, if you dont properly rest/eat you are more likely to drop off as soon as the sugar rush ceases and most dangerously it will hit you much quicker than a natural progression of tiredness.

For handling I was under the impression diffusers are better?

This is the problem, technically your fault, in reality not. I was approaching a large roundabout and a car was looking like it was going to exit at the road I was approaching from in the opposite direction. She was in the outside lane going straight over, not in the right hand lane to turn right, at the last second I took my eye off her to look ahead and to the left to make sure my exit was clear and I went. I looked in my rear view mirror to see her driving inches from my bumper waving her arms about at me. She was driving around a two lane roundabout, in the wrong lane, not indicating...if we came together it would have been my fault - but I can't just stare to the right as I turn left at a roundabout?

Why are they called "spoilers" then? Because they give away the end?

Only if you balance it out with a lip spoiler though......otherwise it can make the nose lift and lose traction on the rubber at the front. Whats the problem with that? You can then do some Dom Torreto/Fast and Furious impressions with the car

But downforce on the back means less wheel spin = better traction = better launch speed = better 0-100 times etc.

What makes me laugh is that as soon as it rains on the motorway everyone slows down...then the second it stops everyone starts tanking it again - errrr people, the ground is still wet you know!

I have had one crash, aged 18, reversing my beloved old VW Polo out of my parents driveway with parked cars either side of the drive exit onto a busy road (yeah I know you should reverse it in but so difficult with buses and the like going along the main road its not always doable). It was dark and raining hard, I edged back so slowly, edged, edged, edged, back end started to clear the parked cars and suddenly WHAM. All I remember is my head going forward and cracking on the steering wheel then blackness. I woke up with the Polo parked about 100 feet down the road on the otherside of the road, apparently lost about 20 seconds as the driver of the other car had stopped and was walking up to me. I was sat there, car parked perfectly alongside the kerb, my foot pushed to the floor on the brake still and a headache like you wouldnt believe. The bizarre things was by all accounts I did a 360 and then some, and somehow the car parked itself neatly up the road out of harms way. It wrote off his shiny Rover Sport, my Polo needed about fifty quids worth of breakers bits. Certainly makes me more cautious when reversing I can tell you, even years later!

Indeed it was
