Good morning and Merry Christmas to all of you
To all you UKP boys & girls, I hope Father Christmas brought you all the things you wanted! I woke up this morning with virtually no voice and man flu ..... The boy was very happy with some of what Father Christmas brought him though - http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt125/xDinglep1/null_zpsb...

Save Brighton Speed Trials
The end of Brighton Speed Trials During the speed trials in 2012 a lady rider on a combination was killed. The inquest had not been held so the event did not take place this year in case the coroner made some recommendations on safety. However, since then the green party lead councillors of the Econ...

Re: Mud flaps
Get your car professionally detailed, it won't stop it getting dirty, (well it does kind of) but it will make it soooo much easier to keep clean, the dirt doesn't stick as well in the first place and it just comes off so much easier.

Thing is with the developments in technology now many of the Autos I deliver at work are now quicker than the manual equivalents ......

They had a bad rep tbh, the early version did suffer from poor build quality, I had a mark 2 version so it was on coils not leafs, 1998 R reg. For a vehicle I only paid £1700 for it was very very reliable. If I could afford the dire fuel economy (it was fuelled by my company) I would have another i...

I'm undecided whether he should be mourned as a fragile old man, or remembered as a violent criminal.
Either or he gained me another 66 points on my celebrity death game!

Re: Clutch slipping??
Mine slipped the day I bought it.
As soon as it was under load in 3rd the clutch would slip.
I returned it to the garage and made them replace it.
Where is the biting point on the clutch pedal ?
