Was only joking. Sex on wheels; bit like my old Bomex Beast! Wait until I get a pic of my GMC Typhoon up. It's been garaged for three years and is absolutely covered in dust!

Hi, I saw one on Pistonheads.co.uk for £2995 in March and texted the guy but got no reply and that was a manual NA (naturally aspirated, i.e. no turbos) in pretty good shape, so you should be able to find one. Will almost certainly be a five speed, as six speed manuals generally are fitted to TT's and come at a hefty premium. No need unless you're going to race it and to be honest, you'll probably use third most of the time anyway, as it's very forgiving, especially with an engine that can rev to 7k all day long. Twin Turbo autos start at around £4500 but as with any model, make sure that you can insure it first and when you find one that you'd like to look at/test drive, ask for the latest MOT test number and VRM, (Vehicle Registration Mark) and enter them into the page I've linked below, then, if you're happy with what you see and hear, get an RAC HPI check for £15 or pay a bit more for a three car check if you have any doubts and might want to check another one or two out. I've seen a MKIV go for £800 on ebay because the engine was apparently in need of attention after a rebuild and you took your chances, so keep an eye out on here, Autotrader, Pistonheads and ebay and most importantly, it's far better to wait for the right one to come along, than buy one and a few months later, regret it. Don't take the seller's word for anything and if possible, post a link to any cars that you're looking at on here and ask for a second opinion. You'd be surprised at how many members know all about some of them! I cannot stress enough, how simple and valuable this check is..... http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp

If the thump is a regular 'grabbing' feeling on one wheel, that feels and sounds like someone's lightly hitting the tyre on the 'outside' wheel with a hammer every couple of feet on full lock or tight slow corners, then it's your diff letting go to allow the outside wheel to turn faster. Perfectly normal, as it allows a different turning speed for each wheel but grips enough to prevent one wheel from losing grip altogether and spinning while the other one doesn't, hence, limited slip. You'll notice the car jerks slightly too, as you turn, even forwards around tight bends but always at very low speed, otherwise it's unnoticeable.

Yawnfest Rob? Good luck making sense of the next few years guys. Mr.T. I have explained how spirits/unseen dimensions etc. can exist many times and it's accepted scientifically now, though obviously not by everyone. To briefly re-iterate, we are only 'aware' of a tiny fraction of the observable matter in the Universe, by whatever method. Therefore, the other 99%+ might just be significant perhaps? It's the cold/hot dark matter, depending on to whom you listen. I do agree that there are mechanisms within the brain that can reproduce 'experiences', e.g. OOBE's, a presence etc. with magnetic fields but the question as always, is why? Could not the natural, yet normally dormant areas of the right temporal lobe etc. be stimulated to do what they were designed to do, like EMS, for example? If there was an afterlife or alternative/parallel dimension, would not a specialised organ (Pineal Gland etc.) for it's experience be useful, just like every other experience that we can have, has an associated organ or region of the brain? To argue that there's nothing else but what we can see is, well, blinkered! I must admit that I do not have the right to question anyone's belief system, except when I feel that they invalidate mine, as it is based on experience.

Ok, I have nothing against real science and I take your point in the context within which you meant it and obviously agree in principle to the self-correcting methodology that you've explained but science means (the aquiring of) knowledge about the natural world. The problem is corruption. Any experiment is only as good as the data and people aren't all honest, incase you hadn't noticed. I've said it before that my brother is a Scientist but by God is he blinkered. You cannot assume anything, if you're going to be scientific, right? Not even that the laws that you've been taught are all valid. My problem has always been that I didn't understand the higher maths and I could see that science didn't have all the answers and that acknowledged experts were asking absurd questions like, "Will time start to go backwards at the point of maximum entropy?" The lack of common sense among some of these academics is astonishing, my brother included tenfold. There are documentaries made, seriously discussing this time reversal possibility, with reversed video of a dropped and smashed teacup rising off of the kitchen floor and reforming into it's original unbroken state. For a start, the teacup wouldn't exist and neither would any other 'solid' matter, as the atoms that made it up would have released all of their energy, which is what entropy means. It's a complete failure of logic, especially since gravity ultimately forms black holes from which not much can escape and everything would be trapped. Our spiral galaxy would have long since disappeared up it's own hole. Yet, if a witness not just a 'believer' says that they were taken aboard a UFO or saw a spirit/ghost the typical response (as Mr T. has already confirmed), is that it's either delusion, a mistake or a lie. Nowhere in that 'rigorously proven' model of reality is there any room whatsoever for the possibility of it actually being true; not because it can't be true according to the known laws of physics but because it shouldn't be true according to the individual questioned. They just don't believe in it! This obviously varies from person to person, hence the poll. When trying to scientifically determine the validity of 'paranormal' or 'supernatural' evidence, the data is the perception of the experiencer as witness to the event/s, which, since we all experience reality - whether it exists objectively or not - according to our own worldview, makes for a tough scientific evaluation process. No matter the protocol or the controlled environment, scientists are still people and they tend strongly to form opinions according to their existing beliefs, especially when there's money involved, even to the point of denial of their own results and requesting a second opinion, in the case of 'impossible' cancer remissions from the use of the (Dr. Bob) Beck protocol, for example. Science deals with the physical, as observable with current technology, though the spectrum is broadening all the time but it's restricted in it's understanding of the occult, (meaning simply, that which is unseen or hidden), for a simple reason, that being the nature of reality itself, beyond the five senses. We've all heard of and indeed used our sixth sense or gut instinct but science or those purporting to represent it, would have us believe that all that exists is what we can see, hear, touch, taste or smell, either directly or indirectly through the use of many forms of sensory augmentation, such as telescopes and MRI, for example. Infact, your sensory organs and even 'your' brain are simply instruments in the same way but that's another topic. The corruption comes from our intrinsic need for self-preservation, even at the expense of the rest of the population, i.e. fear of loss or in this case, the loss of money and /or power/security etc. since those who have the most to lose from our understanding of the true nature of reality, seem to have successfully programmed the majority of us (or atleast helped us choose) to accept a very limited and powerless view of ourselves and our rightful place in the grand scheme of things. Basically, someone stole all the toys and they're not giving them back without a fight! Knowledge is power and we know nothing of our true potential. Most of us don't even know who we are and what we're doing here; those that have a suspicion that they may have been here or somewhere else before; the rest don't care and believe that they'll just cease to exist one day and that the whole thing was totally meaningless. Those that have attempted to enlighten us have been consistently unsuccessful. This relates to our soul purpose up until this point (to forget who we are) but again, another topic. For an obvious example of corruption and the resultant failure of scientific protocol, i.e. objectivity and honesty, look at the NIST report into the controlled demolition of WTC7 for example. Apparently the 47 floor steel framed building fell on it's own in 6-7 seconds (from video evidence) due to small fires and the report said that structural failure was to blame. The laughable computer model of the collapse, just like the twins, blatantly contradicts all of the video evidence of an obvious controlled demolition. Larry Silverstein (owner and property developer) even admitted it on t.v. and people argue that he didn't really mean what he said! Now that is delusion. I can't think of a more obvious example of people only seeing what they want to see, than the appalling lack of knowledge most people have on the subject, given that it's still being used to justify mass murder with our money. All this, whilst being only a few clicks away from the truth. It's as if people are afraid to know what really happened and are using every excuse in the book to deny the overwhelming evidence; most notably, the 'Conspiracy Theorist' label. Anyone who even uses the term, is automatically showing their complete ignorance in the matter and needs to spend a few hundred hours watching the available footage, Jesse "I ain't got time to bleed" Ventura being a notable exception. Hopefully, by calling his t.v. show 'Conspiracy Theory', it will lose it's stigma someday. Did supernatural forces bring these buildings down? Our Governments and media seem to think so, as they were built to withstand multiple plane impacts and obviously couldn't have been controlled demolitions, right? I mean, there's no evidence for it...... Is there? 3PawC4u1U7k

Dave, it's not a fox with a carrier bag stuck on it's head is it? Seriously though, I'd love to see the tape. Whatever it is, everything has an explanation; it's just that some phenomena are harder to understand than others. If science was truly impartial, i.e. HONEST, all things would be within the laws of physics because physics would recognise all things as possible. They just may not have an understanding of it yet. It's a very simple concept. Just because something is unknown or mocked by so called intellectuals, it doesn't make it impossible. If history teaches us anything, it's that we don't know everything but that there have always been those who said "I told you so!" (but no-one would listen because it wasn't politically correct). Political correctness literally means dishonesty. Politics is the art of perception management or persuasion, not necessarily of honesty. A fact can be politically incorrect, for example, thus proving that a bias exists. We all know that. So why do we use the term? Thankfully, it's becoming a pejorative. For all we know, Atlantis or Mu did exist and was far more advanced 30,000 years ago than we are today. They may have done a fantastic job of totally annihilating themselves too. Underwater cities are being found all over the place, by the way. They may have had no need for machinery, for example, if they understood the power of the mind, especially the collective power of the mind, since each of us is a part of something much larger. As a child, I would have profound 'memories' almost which made me wonder why we even needed to physically travel anywhere atall, when we could just 'be there'. It was really strong, like "Duh! All you have to do is think about it and you'll just re-create the whole thing how you want it!" kinda feeling. Has anyone else felt this frustration? Admittedly, I was born in '68 and the water supply was probably 10% LSD! (Speaking of which, no, I've never used it but a good book on the subject is 'Beyond The Brain' by Professor Stanislav Grof). Anything we don't understand we call Supernatural, (beyond our knowledge of what should be natural). That's all it is, for now.....you'll see.

If primitive man (at whatever arbitrary time period) didn't understand the concept of appreciation, why did they sacrifice their children to 'The Gods'? They presumably appreciated warmth and fresh Mammoth steak. Anyway, I thought this would be of interest, regarding what is, or isn't theoretically possible;- geBmlndUexA

Mine cost £90 for front and rear castor/camber/toe after I freed up the bolts at Discount Tyres & Exhausts, Hemel Hempstead. Got printouts before and after and spot on spec. except offside rear camber wouldn't quite pull up the last degree from bush wear. That was on the '93 Bomex. £510 is a week's wages ffs! What do they do, replace all the bushes?

Don't Ni!
