I was always under the impression that it wasn't speed that kills. It was the sudden stop at the end of the speed. :P Steve. What happened to the Horse Latitudes?

The worse scenario could be a leaking heater matrix but the tell tale sign of these tends to be a bit of a curry type smell when its warm.

I ride a bike. Not as often as would like but that is my choice. I believe in a previous post that stated, "go two wheels for a day" It definetly makes you so much more aware of what is going on around you. Im not a mad Biker but on good days I love it more than four wheels. I always ride with my headlight on and Yes, I have a loud pipe. Not to sound big but with 18 years bike experience, I still believe in the theory that loud pipes saves lives....... Ride on....

It took me ages to find out why my airbag wouldn't go out. In the end it was simple. I had no airbags. :P . They had gone off in the prevoius crash.

Andrew. Bet your wobble stops when the caliper is fixed :D . That fault drove me insane and i only found it by accident.

I wanted these on my GS and sourced all the bits to do it and then sold the car to finance my Marks and Sparks and Greenwoods charge cards.

MG Maesrot Turbo. A very very quick car. Just when you think Austin Rover have developed an absolute stormer, they stop after they have only made 515 of them. Sorry. I appear to be wearing my yellow anorak

Hi ya mate. My old MK1 sport lookalike is lurking about somewhere. I sold it to a guy who drove it into someones front garden and did a runner. I have no idea where it or what becomes of a car that is unclaimed. I have searched for it unsuccessfully and been sent on a few bum steers. Its a MK1 GS in Sherwood green on a L plate. It has [had] full sport spec on it but with MK2 18" sport wheels and should be sporting some light front end damage [again]

It would take some doing to warp those discs on the front.

You will need...in no particular order... Something to raise the vehicle up in the air which is usually named after one half of the pair who unsuccessfuly tried to fetch a pail of water from the top of the hill. *** knows why it took two of Them. If he had been a real man, he would of sent her on her own for the water and would have been here today. But then again, children [and adults] would be devoid of the wonderful tale of the hapless couples quest for the all important pail of water. Sorry, don't know what came over me then... I removed my starter. You need.... lots of swear words, ..liquid refreshment ... more swear words.... something to bang your head on..... more swear words..... a damn good set of wobbly socket extension bars .... a promise from the neighbours that they wont call for the men in white coats after they show concern for your meaningless loud ramblings..... And lots of encouragement. Steve. Mine was nothing more than a loose engine earth strap. The engine had been out of mine to straighten the chassis and I assumed that that was reason for the bad connection. Got to be worth a check before your neighbours have you sectioned

I lost my dad back in 1973. Although I was very young, I have great memories. He was a bit of a wide boy as most young guys are. Amongst the memories are one in particular of a car he used to borrow from an amateur football friend. I never forget the days we out in that car and it cemented something special into me. In 1988 by sheer luck I managed to track down the very same Triumph Stag and I still own it to this very day. To imagine life without it would be very strange. A brief history on the randy reindeer name [not so sure on the randy part though :P ]

Gaydon is cool. I,ve been a few times and paid homage to the last production Randy reindeer. Hopefully I should have gotten hold of my old Supra by then and should pootle along. :P

I posted a thread a while ago regarding brake vibration and how I accidentally found out my problem. I can't find the thread but it was caused by nothing more than a sticky caliper piston. East to fix and probably even more easy to overlook :P

I can feel some Horse latitudes not a million miles away :P

Well guys. It looks like another Supra is on the cards. I was gonna go down the 300ZX road again but they still hold a nice tidy premium. Instead, i've decided to go for another MK3 Supra. Nice and cheap to buy, easy to fix , look great and my missus loved the last one so even she is on my side... :P Result... or back of the net as Alan Partridge would say. Just thought i would share that with you all.

I believe it to be a hoax. Check this out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshi...ire/3233169.stm

A citroen XM. :P Been there, Owned one , Loved it. I think it is a stunning looking car and the drive is superb........But then how you can take me serious.. I have a TR7 [but its got a v8 in it now :) ]

Loz. Great advice mate. Dodgy owner, Dodgy Brakes :D Im glad you weren't with me when I met and married mine. Im curious now. Hows this for a new member question. Go back to July last year and I turn up on the forum with this question. How would you answer me.... Hi everyone. I've found a MK1 GS in a scrappy. Its been crashed and repaired, has no documents and the VIN plate is missing. Its on the HPI register as well and its in Liverpool. should I buy it? :P . The rest is just awesome memories but what would have been your advice?

I'll chuck in a bid. Pushes it in the right direction.

Glip tone/ liquid leather. excellent product. It does exactly what it says on the tin and then some.......

I suppose the easiest way is to put a few paving slabs in the boot :P Seriously though, I would be interested to know as well how its done.

I use a 5/40w synthetic that is Halfords own brand. Works out just that bit cheaper than Mobil 1. :D

The MK1. Automotive pornography. I have had mine 1 year and 1 month and its the bizz. However, all good things must end and its up for sale. I have been seduced by another Japanese beauty with a pair of exhaust driven wind pumps, T bar roof and a thirst that would put Olly Reed and George Best under the table. Problem is, they are now owned by Renault I believe. Anyway, first £3500 gets my sport lookalike with 6 months rent and mot and an appointment with the surgeon to have there hand sewn back on :P

Im running 34 all round on 18s shod with P zeros. Terrible over speed humps and pot holes but I put that down to the lower harder suspension. I can't say much about fuel consumption other than I measure it in Lamposts rather than miles.

My poor Lexter came into my loving hands after it had a slight altercation with a brick wall due to a trucker. Nothing to do with his driving but more to do with his passion for over filling with Diesel. Off topic slightly but if your car wants some counselling Claire, contact 0898 Randy Reindeer. Calls cost 99pence per minute with a one off £34.95 connection charge. Calls terminate in Botswana and maybe recorded for training purposes. Your statutory right are not affected. your home is at risk if you leave it unattended whilst frying chips. Terms and conditions apply but will not stand up in court....... At the end of the day... the sun goes down and we go to bed........ your well being is far more important {only just by the smallest margin}than a Japanese work of art....... You will one day recollect that day and laugh.
