    Auto owners.

    I've been driving autos on and off since before some of you were born, and I've never had one change gear when it wasn't expected and put me in a dangerous position because of it. Sometimes under light throttle they'll change up a bit quicker than I'd like, so I have to change them down manually for better acceleration (with the tiptronic its easy ) but I've never had one suddenly change down going round a bend unless I happen to be acting the fool. Then again, my second turbo has never suddenly cut in either
  2. It could have been worse. Imagine how gutted he'd have been if he owned the Aston
  3. Well without knowing the make, its going to difficult to send you a wiring diagram for it, even if we had one. You really need to speak to Martin or Jody
  4. Won't be like a Griff, he'll have some ground clearance TBH, it's not too bad getting it off the Griff once its in the air. I've had a lot more trouble with US V8s with close fitting headers
  5. Well, the starter motor is on the drivers side of the engine and accessible from underneath. Depending on what exhaust system you're running it can be easily accessible, or a right bastard
  6. Where on earth did the bit about they only need 750000 signatures to stop it come from? Talk about urban legend gone mad
  7. When you do register they leave a tracking cookie on your bloody computer.
  8. Tell me about it, I've been threatened with having mkivsupra.net cited as the co-respondent for divorce
  9. Couldn't agree more. If you're selling something just name the price, unless you're so embarrassed because its so ridiculously expensive
  10. I went to see a Supra, not that long ago, that had less than 50k on the clock, with an Japanese underbonnet sticker for something, with 103000kms written on it
  11. 'kin 'ell! You lot like to live dangerously! Whilst regseeker is a good application, you really should have some idea about what you're deleting from the registry before you do it If you fcuk it up, my rates are very reasonable
  12. Ok, I'll go with this one. I'll virtually always sneeze when the sun gets in my eyes, it can be a bloody nuisance when driving in the winter when the sun's low in the sky. If I feel the need to sneeze, and for some reason can't, I'll look for the sun to help it happen. Another thing that really triggers sneezing for me is fresh newsprint, so I suppose there's a tenuous link to the "Sun" newspaper And I don't have to do things like this to be considered a weirdo, there's a lot more worrying things about me than my sneezing exploits Just for Pete's benefit, I don't get turned on by sneezing
  13. TBH the Supra's really the runaround, but when the sun's shining, and thanks to JamieP and the global warming machine, it's gonna be more often these days this is what you'll find me in
  14. Never been on the HSS so I can't help there but even the motorhome bottomed out once coming off the cargo deck. All the cars go onto a different deck so maybe OK. They don't normally drive straight on, usually up a long, sometimes curved, ramp. The angle is normally determined by the state of the tide.
  15. You should get an IP address by DHCP from the wireless router. Can you administer the router from the machine that connects to it with an ethernet cable. You need to be able to see the settings in the router, like the SSID, and whether it has any security set up.
  16. Hi Col I'm using Voipcheap at the moment http://www.voipcheap.co.uk Lots of calls are free, and most are pretty reasonable. Have a look on the site, you don't need a lot of hardware to get started and you can use mobile numbers to spoof a call from as well
  17. Basically you need the engine with No1 cylinder on compression. You can see the marks on the crankshaft pulley, but you'll either need to take the cam covers off, or take the plugs out except No1 so you can feel it come onto compression when you turn the engine by hand. Line up the distributor with is marks, stick it in and (hopefully) it should fire up. You'll have to fine tune the timing with a strobe light.
  18. Yeah, the one that says Happy Birthday would go down like a lead balloon Nice Dobie in the avatar
  19. Thanks! Learnt something else today
