  1. jaguar metallics are pretty good, usually have a mix of metallic flakes, my anthracite has bronzes, purples and greens in the flake. they do a metallic white as well, might be worth a look.
  2. I just browse their classifieds. Not been on in a while, but I did see recently they are beta testing new forum stuff/website. Might be they have a weakness and someone has exploited it.
  3. if your looking for a nice zed coldel is selling his, one of the nicest on the forum and cared for like an only child
  4. my grandparents got themselves a golf plus sits taller, really easy to get in and out of, but as for the inside, can;t say i've been in it so can't comment. anything along those lines would work, maybe a ford Smax or C max, my wifes grandfather bought one for his sick wife to make it easy to get her to hospital, made life alot easier. parkers also reccomends Renault Scenic (09 on) http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/r ... tate-2009/ and Citroën C4 Picasso (07 on) http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/c ... tate-2007/ Seat altera hatchback http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/s ... back-2004/ nissan quashquai http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/n ... agon-2007/
  5. i have to say i quiet like that
  6. if you rinse with rain water from something like a water butt you will find you don;t get water marks. its hose water that leaves water marks due to the minerals in it. rain water does not, but sometimes rain water can carry other particles like very fine sahara sand. hence why i said water but as usually the water is still and particles fall to the bottom and crap floats on the top, the stuff you get out the tap is then very good for rinsing cars.
  7. i already have them sized to the original brembo logo size, took the measurements for them off my original brembos. fronts are larger than the rears. can do them any colour you want. or if you want bigger, give me a size height and width and i'll cut them to that exact size.
  8. my advise is get it removed and a bypass put in, means better mpg and more performance special if you decat the exhaust and have it chipped
  9. there was a phone there?
  10. thats quiet funny, what a numpty for thinking he could just drive away bloke got what he deserved was it me or did the ferrari at the end look like it had a large scratch all the way down it
  11. and i bet his surname was exactly what he said when he surfaced
  12. what monster truck height???
  13. i'm a teacher, every student knows my car had several students threaten to key it, slash tyres etc, it was slightly in jest, but they were the kind of kids that could/would do something like that. still doesn't stop me being a hard arsed barsteward. the naughty ones know i'd strign them up by their testies with piano wire if they touched my car
  14. its a picture of fire with the word "napalm" underneath and the text because really "kill it with fire" will cover just about any situation
  15. some cars do have slightly poorly aligned syncro's but this usually disappears once the cars up to temp. the main gear box issue has been clutches. the rattle could have been the thrust bearing or if its had a lightened flywheel put in these have been known to make noise. nowt wrong with the earlier ones.
  16. would you buy it for me to burn on camera
  17. that 165 mph crash with no seatbelt, and not a scratch on him even though he was thrown from the car. now thats an advert for not needing seatbelts always seems the way, the stupid and the criminal survive major crashes without a scratch, normal people get killed at 30 mph
  18. i think it has been wrapped by a 110 year old blind man with one arm and a banana for a knife and the bodys been fitted by london zoos ape section, but they've worn blindfolds and only been allowed to use their feet and pritt stick. and the interior is amazing that same kind of amazing as waking up to find you've sh1t yourself in your sleep. and the wheels look like they've been borrowed from a hot wheels car, they are lost in those arches. if fail made cars this would be it
  19. a long run might clear it, depends on how clogged the filter is, if they get to bad without a burn off it can mean a replacement. i know when i was on the alfa forum alot of the diesel guys had the DPF removed as it had so many issues. and was mentally expensive for a new one.
  20. i'd do all mods first before doing an uprev
  21. the DPF only burns off when the engine is running high. i.e. good long drive. in basic terms it flushes the DPF with fuel and then burns it off. hence why you get improved mpg when you have them removed and a tube put in.i know some longlife custom exhaust builders will do a CFP removal and decats (as you don't need cats to pass an MOT on a diesel) they often throw upCEL's if the car is used for lots of round town driving. doesnt do the long jaunts that are needed for the DFP to clean itsself
  22. thats a woman?
  23. if only the olympics was like this
  24. whispers say the collaboration is with merc, even lotus has apparently been in chats with them. which could mean merc chassis maybe engine.
