  1. I think it's done so above a certain temp it starts to soften and move which is probably only 20degrees I would guess ? I would say it never needs polishing as any scratches will just sink into the paint?
  2. It's just like some self levelling paints like some primers for example they have are quite heavy and take a while to set giving them time to level out any imperfections , capilliary action an surface tension stuff. If you have a White zed and it gets scratched it won't hide the white pigment underneath it just seals itself that it the clearcoat on top. So in theory you will never have a rusty car but any chips will still be visible if the pigment underneath has been chipped away.
  3. If it's any Help I hate computers too!!!
  4. It's probably been stood for a while I used to get about 28 around town and 32-34 on motorway? How can you have less torque?? It was redesign to have more even spread of torque? Had shed loads more than Lucys 2002 import anyway? Go for a few good blasts out in it to clear it's nose
  5. No it will be self healing paint which means it got a semi soft top clearcoat on it that slowly relevels itself if scratched they made a big thing about this on x trails about 4 years ago never did it as far as I know?
  6. Woohoo nice one Mart and well done Al Any IT jobs Mart ? Based in Mank ?
  7. +1 my club fleece is the best ever in fact I wear it in the van to work as it stops me freezing up in the morning until the asthmatic heaters start to kick in !!!
  8. Oh well can't go changing the mx5 now only had it a week but spent weeks looking for it can't face the hassle anymore of selling etc !! It's a bargain that for someone good luck with the sale
  9. Ooh that's a freaky blast from the past with mine and Lucys car!! Looks great matey and she will love the growl of the 313 with the roof down Btw now I have seen your plate I have actually passed you probably every day without knowing it!! Give the orange shouty van a wave next time!
  10. Pete there used to be an Azure one there every week but has now gone? But I see at least 2 GM's every day up there
  11. One of my fave cars and yes the manual is rare only seen one other! If we had only seen this before I got the MX5!!!!
  12. Oh mixed reviews?? Well I will wait until it's on freebies then? Thanks again folks The new Prisoner has potential but really confuses me so much and when there are well known actors in it sort of spoils it ? Shame... The best series ever made though in recent times was Carnivale on HBO best thing to come out of Canada for years but maybe it was a bit too deep and dark for our American cousins and they ditched it after season 2??! Still think they should bring it back well written great acting good camera work and keeps you guessing with a clever script.
  13. me too mate it was horrible seeing them eat cats and mice etc!!! Hmm ok then looks like I need to wait until you lot watch it on Sky then tell me if its worth buying the DVD set!!
  14. Dont have Sky so dont know but mate has seen it for sale on DVD on Amazon already? (does'nt sound good?)
  15. People of a certain age will remember the original series and it was scary hide behind sofa stuff! But noticed the remake is on DVD now - however is it any good? Any info welcome

  19. Like I said at the start - Love it or hate it! But if we all loved the same cars life would be boring would'nt it - we would all be driving Audi A4's!!
  20. Wow some class pictures there folks particularly like the period 70's picture there Pete - this is the stuff we (well ok I) love! Lotus Europa? One of my all time faves... right up to a few years ago there was a mid blue one locally - used to always love seeing it - yet hated being behind its fumes!! G Man love the pic of the Tres Rex's (Still miss mine !) Maz what Nissan is that one then? Husky dont do it - you will only spend shed loads of cash on it and it will sit on the drive for weeks on end (ahem I should know!)
  21. Sorry Viks meant to say Turbo as in petrol turbo the diesel engine is supposed to be pants in this one? The 1.6 Turbo I supposed to fly? Like I said it's a bargain in 3 years time when they are going for peanuts although not exactly pricey now are they ?

  23. Andy have you turned into a Midget now that you are 30 - or is your Camera so heavy you need to rest it on bricks to take pictures!!
  24. Planet Rock is ccccccccccooooooooooool Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! I really dont think they have made a decent DAB car radio yet - still think its early tech? However as a cheaper option - mate at work got a portable DAB radio from Tesco and plugged it into his aux socket via the headphones jack and it works fine in the car? http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.204-2946.aspx Only downside is its AA batteries!
