    next Z - maybe

    A folding hard top would be smashing!! having said that it would have to be a bit more reliable than the soft top mechanism.. Sounds good though!
  2. Looks like a Pug 307 to me???
  3. I only wish my local council was on there!! Alway good to know where the scary stuff is!
  4. If it helps, I have just been quoted £156 for replacement front pads? Thats from a deal too.
  5. Thats got to work.. Only thing is, would you want it to! Looks all a bit odd to me. Still, style isnt everythign I guess?

    Is IT LEGAL?

    Nothing to say either way.. But Im sure you cant remove them, its just something lurking in my memory about it.. Probably your best best is to ring an MOT testing centre and they will tell you straight away.
  7. It'll almost certainly be the same engine mate, Rover & Honda were doing that for years. Your right... Def the same engine they are. The whole of hte Rover 200 series had the same engines in as the Hondas through the 1980s too.. Mind you £45k for a kit car which is fairly ordinary is a bit of a joke! Way over priced, you can get an AC Cobra replica for 30 with performance to blow your socks off!
  8. Tescos 99 RON is the highest rating at the cheapest price from what Ive seen about the place.. Car seams to like it as well.... I have had a simmilar experience with Shell V power, wasnt overly impressed!
  9. I thought they were all 279BHP at that age.. Least thats what Im sure it says in my owners book? Could be wrong though.
  10. There was another post somewhere about this.. Along with a link to the site that sold them.. Have a dig about on here!!
  11. If he gets that much for it, I will be sticking mine on there! I guess it says its a full system not just the back cat BUT still a lot.

    Surgery Needed

    Dont use chips away! I have tried them at 2 different locations and have to say the service was poor to say the least. I know it all depends on who has the franchise but I have to say, very unimpressed.
  13. None of the above.. Might ask for commission on sales with all this marketing mind you lol... No go and give them a fiver and buy the CD!!
  14. Noo the band has nothing to do with me at all.... Honest! If you heard me singing or playing something you would soon know that!!!! Its just been a while since Ive heard a live act this good!
  15. I have to agree with the above.. Sounds like you know your stuff, you just need to sound a little less staged.. Have a little more charisma come into it. Having said that, it may just be that you have been unlucky and someone a little better qualified pipped you to it?
  16. Pleased you all like them! Should think that they will do really well if they just get a nudge in the right direction!
  17. Thats what I thought as well. They sound just as good live, I did ask them if they had a sound engineer, but no its all done off their own backs. I kinda thought there was a bit of The Manic Street Preachers or Crowded House in there too. They def need to get writting some more tunes! I for one will buy another album!
  18. I have to say, dont use chips away... Ive had nothign but bad service from them.. My last car they came out and quoted, and never turned up! When I called a rescheduled they didnt turn up again! This car, they took a scratch out, but really did a poor job, when I complained they said 'you shouldnt come to a place like this if you want first class work doing'.. If your going to get it done, spend the extra money at a body shop, unless you know someone who can do the work on recomendation. (If anyone knows someone good around the Cambridgeshire area, give me a shout).
  19. Soon as I bought the CD a week ago, it hasnt been off the stereo, v adictive tunes!
  20. Well, Im not one for normally talking up other peoples stuff. BUT... If anyone is interested in hearing a fantastic band have a look at www.the-brays.co.uk They are unsigned as yet... Saw them live the other night, not just good, but fantastic! The web site has some of their tunes on it. Seam like a nice bunch of blokes to talk to as well! Buy their album, you know you want to! Its only £5!

    KEYED!!!!!!

    Chips away can do it.. BUT after I have recently had some work done by them, I have to say, DONT DO IT!! It was a reallly poor job, and would you beleive when I complained I was told 'if you wanted a first class job, you shouldnt bring it to a bloke like me!' If you can get a real body shop on recomendation, its gotta be better. I'm tempted to pay to have mine done again!
  22. That was a bit of a scrape at 32!!! not sure all the stopping distances are very real though, or that listening to loud music is worse than playing with the temperature controls... All sounds a bit subjective to me!
  23. Its still the police that prosecute as far as I'm aware.. These guys would give info to the court in just the same way as if a few of us make a complaint of speeding against someone (and we had a calibrated speedo). The only difference is that most of the people doing the Highways job are ex traffic officers and no doubt would be treated as expert witnesses at court.. Its only a small step away from pushing it all out to local councils, just like parking fines.. We all know how well that works!
  24. The Monaros just dont look differnet enought from the old Calibras for me.. I know its 100% different on the inside BUT!
