Ebized

My parents had a Triumph Dolomite which went very well and then bought the sprint in yellow with a black vinal roof and boy did that go. My mum used to get in the slow lane and undertake people as the lights changed to green, sooo funny. Snap! Dug out some old 35mm pics (or might have been taken on box brownie ) - and includes one of the yellow Dolly Sprint I had at one time - a quick 2lt car in its day - me using it at a grass Autotest and had it on two wheels several times handbraking it round the cones The other pic is of my first Golf GTi (a Mk1 4-speed taken on MOD land near Aldershot) and a standard spec Singer Chamiois Sport at a Sprint at Goodwood and a Trial at some farm in Surrey. Used to tow that on an 'A'-frame behind a later GTi so I could compete in both cars Pics also also show the Beetles I had. The little one of me standing next to my very first one - a 1956 oval with a 1600 porsche engine rescued from a breakers and used for rallycross before I bought it. (Yes, I had hair then at 20 ) I then then got a 1957 Dub and dumped the 1200 engine for a 1500 one, but had it fairly heavily modified including twin Minnow-Fish twin carbs and very loud exhaust that I used in trials, autotests, and events that were the pre-runner of rally stages but then without navigators, crash-hats and rules........ The other pics are me navigating in the Moskvich at stages event in the NE (that car/driver had previously taken part in a RAC rally of GB and I got roped into the 'works' servicing team by a friend). The bottom pic is on a Welsh rally event - a Ford 1600E that had just had TJ fuel injection fitted (one of the first such installtions in the UK - and it was quick - when it held together!). Always remember after we finished that event in the early hours we got back from the Brecon area to Central London in about 2 hours - that was when there where no speed limits on the motorways and we crusied the M4 at 130mph+ So there you go Stan - we all have history that looking back does bring some great memories back

According to to their web site, we will see Tiff testing it next Monday 22/6

Interesting - any idea when? Dont know, but I'm sure it was featured in the ads for the new series. Tiff is testing it next Monday 22nd

If its another guitar it'll be on the small side

ZMANALEX might have a solution for you

There's the answer - M350ZB is hogging cyber space I heard he is trying to download the internet

Glad you got it sorted

There's the answer - M350ZB is hogging cyber space

Mind you, when I saw the first (side view) pic of car 2 I thought he had left his grass cutting kit on the back, but at least the second pic confirmed it was a diffuser

What a great offer and opportunity - just a pity I am so far south Now come the early part of September I won't be.............

+1 Put real deterrents in place, whatever the crime, that will make those in our society who seem to think breaking the law is a game think again. It is a real pleasure when we go to Singapore and can walk in public places at night with no fear of an attack, and right down to more basic issues with no rubbish strewn around or chewing gum all over the place - simply because if you get caught there the penalties are so severe it deters those who might choose to chance it. No doubt crime does take place there but I do not feel similarly at ease here out at night in any built areas and god forbid if I look at anyone in case I'm accused of not showing them respect , as in Bens' case - what a state this country is getting in

But Dave, you make such a loverly couple - now where's that pic taken on the last Wales run-out giving each other a

I believe that sort of failure can sometimes be due to the battery cells collapsing - a battery check will confirm - AA/RAC?

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" Yeah, I was watching poor old Victor last night on one his best drives in Britain programme last night using the Dukes Hill pass in the Trossachs. Looks good On the way up to FA after Moffat I reckon a diversion off the A84 after Stirling and along the A873/A81 and up the A821, which is the road concerned, that then brings us back onto the A84 would be a good warm-up for the HOON. Anyone up for this BTW - what is happening about booking the accomm at Moffat?

I'd like to see that

Aha!!! The secrets out Colin - so you ADMIT to doing motorsport! Aha see knew it ! June only mentioned she gets you drive day pressies and never mentioned you were a stealth demon expert driver But we knew you always were - and I thought you took the fuse out for the brake lights........nooooooo you dont use em ! He he he Stan: I am no demon driver, just one who enjoys a demon car that when you are in the right gear for a corner you can better exploit the ZEDs capabilities, which is why it is so highly rated as a driver's car. Nothing minds me up more on the road than the driver who is constantly on and off their brakes - OK , with auto's you don't have much alternative but when you see the brakes come on at every corner, or they are simply too close to the car in front and not reading the road ahead, that is just plain bad driving in my book

Old fart. We need to bring our grumbles up to date You sound like a good mod prodigee

I love to drive with the window down/part down whenever I can to hear the ZED's music But its those times when you drive away with the window down and forget about recent rain that is by then pouring in off the roof through the open window - oh for rain gutters, but yeah I know it would spoil the lines. After some 4 years of ZED ownership you would have thought I had learnt my lesson by now

Armchair motorsport fan now (used to do a lot of motorsport years back ) Dodging the next DIY the other 'alf thinks of - my usual excuse (if the weather allows) is "that I must go and wash the cars darling", and then spend the rest of the day on the ZED until I usually start the rain Spending too much time on this forum when I should be working , and looking for the next thing I wind Nixy up with Enjoying as much time as June and I can with our 20 month old grandson is high on the list but he's such a great little lad and with three sets of grandparents, this particular gramps and nana have to join the queue of other family and friends

While it is warranty, at Wilsons - not cheap but gets the necessary stamps in the book. Undecided about extending the warranty (having had zero issues since new) as that is an arm and leg through Nissan, as well as paying their exorbitant servicing costs. Wouldn't bother with one of the 'aftermarket' warranty offerings - from what I hear they will find an excuse not to pay out. Just waiting to see how things pan out towards the end of this year - a 370 would be nice

A gut instinct tells me this is'nt greatest buy - it does not seem to be particuarly cherished, in a way you will tend to find by members on here selling their cars. But your call and I would suggest you have a professional inspection done

Planning permission is normally only required if it is a trunk or classified road - most residential roads are not in that category and therefore the only 'consent' needed is from the highway authority to whom you have to pay to have the work done, or I believe some Councils require you to have it done by an approved contractor. Even if planning permission is required the Local Planning Authority has no authority to 'enforce' against persons obstructing the access as planning law does not extend to controlling what happens on a public highway. 'Enforcement' would be a matter for the police if in an obstruction to an access is being caused - suffice to say they don't normally treat such breaches as priority but will probably do a vehicle check and have a 'word' with the car owner. If problems persist then I guess they would get heavy with the person they see as wasting their time by ignoring their warnings. In your case Jammy007 it's up to you whether you want to report the illegal dropped kerb but if you have already had confrontations with the neighbour and given he's not shy to carry out unlawful work he might not be shy about seaking revenge on your car, or worse still you What Rod_Quads says about declaring complaints is true when you came to sell your home and is something to be careful about

battery terminals usually have something like Vaseline to help prevent corrosion and ensure a good contact is made - seems your issue with the new battery might simply down to the clamp(s) not being tight enough.

tbh mate not looking fo rhuge bucks as want it rid a,s,a,p It will also give the ideal place for the rear camera - having seen Caveys in action who has used the blanking plate, its very impressive
