Should have known you'd have a Hello Kitty T shirt

OK, it can't have escaped your attention that Hello Kitty is gradually taking over the world. All the major retail chains are carrying branded stuff now, Halfords, Argos, Boots, WHSmiths etc. So the next challenge is your Celica with something Hello Kitty in/on/under it.

How about Fannys Lane in Bucklebury?

Looks good to me. And nicely parked, right in the middle

OK, adding to this thread does feel like poking a corpse with a stick, but whatever. Next challenge is your car in an empty car park (no other vehicles).

I was just going to comment on how old the photo must be with your 185 in it, but then spotted your small print My dad's got a receipt from the 60's for 5 star at 2/6 a gallon. Does that count?

Last night at 16.50

This is the dearest I've seen in a while. Deans is just east of Marlborough on the A4. I pass it every week but it's always been too dark for a photo until now. Sorry for the crap phone photo, the price reads 99.9.

In simple terms, the amount of fuel burnt is a function of engine revs and throttle position. At full throttle you are using twice as much fuel at 6k revs as you would at 3k revs. For best fuel economy you need to be in the highest gear possible, but not labouring.

Doesn't sound like a thermostat problem at all. Those are the symptoms of low water level.

It is with hesitation that I contradict someone who describes themself as "Winner of 3 CCUK awards. Sex god. Master Debater.", but Dublet's answer above is misleading. There is one sensor (on the gearbox) that counts revolutions. The signal is used by the speedo and the odometer. If the speedo is reading 10% fast, then the odometer is reading 10% fast too. The law allows for speedos to be up to 10% fast, but never slow. To be safe, most manufacturers aim for 5% fast. Wheel size has no relation to the speedo, the speed/mileage is derived from the revolutions and the outside diameter/circumference of the tyres. Bear in mind that tyre wear affects accuracy, the diameter reduces with wear. A worn tyre will read about 2% faster than a new one.

For the facelift, aircon and a CD player were listed as options.

I've updated it.

I wrote the Wiki page, and it is correct. The cab was launched before the facelift, and all the pre-facelift models only had a driver's airbag. Later in 95 the facelifted cars, including the cab, gained the passenger airbag. I'll put a section in for the facelifted cab.

Just had a text to say mine has arrived at home. Cheers.

That pussy is a rabbit. Should have gone to Specsavers

A moving car? Damn, mine won't qualify either I'm going to post it up anyway 'cos I quite like how it came out

Without going out looking, an hour ago I found myself looking at a reflection of the car in a shop window, and by chance I had a camera in the car. I won't post it up until after the weekend though, to give others a chance.

Yep, that's great. By the way, where is Bonkyl church?

I can't believe this thread has been going over 3 years. And I can't believe I've got away with reposting a picture I used on page 5 For the next challenge - a Celica next to a road sign with a funny place name. Peniston, Cockermouth, Knob Hill, Bollock Street, you know the type of thing.

How about a stone wall that's 2000 years old? Part of the town defences of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester).

That's excellent

To keep it seasonal, arrange some Quality Street on your car.

It's a grumpy santa's hat

I've just been out and taken a shot for this. It gets posted up at 0630 tomorrow if no-one gets the Woolies shot.
