To be fair, the SZ's have plug leads. But I get your point if they were talking about TTs.

Have a good'un mate!

Spyker C8? Just an obscure, exotic guess!

Let me know if you decide to do another one at the end of August as Angie and myself will be over in the car about then for a couple of weeks! Hope you get this one off the ground though. (Metaphorically speaking of course....)

Careful Rosie.....you just know someone is going to ask you for a comparison photo to prove your point!!!

Right, this was taken today at the East Anglian mini meet. As it is Alex's birthday this week (Thursday), so Angie got him an early birthday cake. Captions welcome.....

Agreed Si, the stop off for coffee in Norwich was really good. Nice in the sun and watching people look at the cars!!! Also nice to finally get my summer wheels back on the car! I'll post the Pics of Alex shortly in 'Off Topic'. Thanks everyone for a great day! See you next month.

Hi Scott. Not sure about Rotorstock at the moment. Only a couple of weeks before we're off to Le Mans, but we'll keep in touch over that one. You should come along on Sunday mate. The more the merrier!! And it'd be nice to take a look at your RX7 too! Brian.

Angie is probably even more mad than I am about cars. (Not sure how that can be done, but I think she's achieved it!") In the end she got her own Supe so as to avoid arguing about who was going to drive. "No, I drank last time, go on...enjoy yourself and have a drink....I'll drive tonight!!" Carlsberg don't do marriages, but if they did, they'd probably be the best marriages in the world!!

Unfortunately he is still within his rights to use the road even if there is a cycle lane. The trouble with cycle lanes in this country is that they are almost always next to a road. And where does all the debris such as broken glass that inhabits our roads end up? Yep, on the cycle lane. I used to try to use them but I don't bother anymore as you end up with so many punctures. Come to think of it I don't bother cycling much anymore! When I lived in N. Ireland (many years ago) I did alot of racing. Used to do over 14,000 miles a year racing in the UK and the US. Now I'm just another fat b@satrd!!

I know someone who jumped out of their skin watching Finding Nemo!! (The bit where the shark turns up) .........he's on here and he knows who he is!!!

Hi Gaz. I've done a search about your poor mpg but can't find your original thread. Has anyone suggested your O2 sensor may be at fault? These are a fairly common thing to fail and are about £60 to £70 to replace. You can check if it's working with a volt meter. There was a thread about it recently in the tech section, I think. Good luck.

Angie and myself too! Si + 1 Secondjump (maybe still in the rover ) 250 + 2 Digsy Angie Brian

Fairly standard looking Supra, J-SPec, driving through the High Street about 1.30ish on Easter Monday.

Horrible is what that is!! (The lip spoiler only, NOT the TRD type one)

The problem was getting the attachment to go through an email server while still having the '.mdb' suffix on it. Hotmail etc. block such attachments. Feel a bit thick now as I zipped it and it worked fine. (Didn't think I had winzip on the company laptop!) Thanks Steve!

Does anyone know of an email provider that will let me send a copy of an access database to myself? I've tried it on my hotmail, gmail, ntlworld and lycos accounts and can't get it on any of them! It's a long story as to why I want to do this,but I really need it ASAP.

That's 'cos by modern standards, he's been around since the stone-age!

And another...

I got a 512MB USB flash memory thingy for £39

Another few.... (Maybe we should move this to the Multimedia section?)

Car speedos are normally out and are normally optimistic.(read high) Manufacturers will usually err on the side of caution with this sort of thing. Better to have it reading slightly too fast than read too slow. If it was proven that their speedos all read slow, they might find thtemselves being sued by people who got done for speeding, or worse,by accident victims. As for changing wheel sizes, fitting larger wheels shouldn't make a huge difference as when you put larger wheels on, you should come down a size or two on the tyre profile. The rolling radius of tyres of different sizes is rarely exactly the same, but there are plenty of tyre size calculators on line that you can download and work out the closest tyre size on say, an 18" rim, to the original 16" or 17" rim. Try these and see just how far out your aftermarket wheels have put you! http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Obviously tyre width make a difference too as the profile is expressed as a percentage of tyre width.

That's how I did it.

Ok you lot. Who's up for a GT4 photo cometition? I haven't yet taken any that I'm really happy with, but here are a couple of samples. Unfortunately I probably opened up the aperture a bit too wide and lost all the depth of field rather than just some of it!

I know we aren't as bad as some, but we aren't exactly heading the right direction these days are we???
