« on: 16 May 2010, 00:19:48 »

i don't think lovely and Corsa should be used in the same sentence   

Kids today, a few hairs round their dick and look what they come out with

I've got a 2.5 Elite you can have for £2.5k.  Only it doesn't go (well, not on all 6 cylinders).

On a serious note, what are you doing with that?

I believe he's wondering what bits he needs to steal from it to fix the silver bullet .... again ....   

Errr, they both have the same faulty parts 

What the Driver ?

Her cheap lease cars scheme through work ended, so we had to get another car.

I had every intention of using the bike in summer, and buying a car for winters - cars I've always fancied (pocket rockets like the old Civic Type-R).

We'd booked a driving holiday to France the following summer, so went for a big cruiser to do the holiday.  Still got it over 6yrs later...

enough about you're shed of a rover  :exclamation

General Car Chat / Re: Do headlight bulbs degrade over time?

« on: 24 November 2009, 01:34:53 »

Topic says it all! Do they?

As a side note, I just ordered H1+H7 nightbreakers + sidelights for just over £35 delivered. Sounds good price to me.

Any chance of a link ?, as I may be looking to replace some bulbs myself

Just google Osram Nightbreakers 

Yep, and the first link is: http://www.autobulbsonline.co.uk/

and firefox throws up "Firefox can't find the server at www.autobulbsonline.co.uk"

« on: 24 November 2009, 00:23:15 »

Think theres one currently for sale on here still....   Check the parts sale/wanted section... 

Cheers would like to try and do it myself if not to difficult.

from what i've read it's not difficult, just labour intensive

General Car Chat / Re: Could this be true? Opel Omega with 1005bhp???

« on: 27 August 2009, 00:22:10 »

I don't know what to think after reading this:

http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/210264/vauxhall_omega.html

"That’s 199.5mph. In the wet. The man’s obviously a nutter." - that sums it up nicely
