  1. I avoid it I People confuse me with the other fossils I Christen this car ERIC!!!!
  2. Certainly all guilty on count 1. Count 2 Not guilty. Evidence. That's why I've done sod all recently. Count 3 Not guilty Defence. I'm a fluffy bunny. I love all you peeps even Dubs.
  3. Yup. Golf club car park mentality. Status symbol = you buy something you don't want, with money you haven't got, to impress people you don't like.
  4. Yes we do actually. It's genetic so are you SURE he's your Dad?
  5. Well there we are. Bidet could come in handy post dump then?
  6. Ahhhh Ha!!!!! It's a lidded bidet for a dolls house? Go on gis a clue?
  7. I know, have read the thread. Much respect. Keep going!
  8. If I had read 50 shades of grey this might be the sort of torture equipment I might have imagined being used.
  9. No, I think you just about have it covered there............. more a combination of unnecessary excitement and slobbering
  10. Well there ya go. I know more than yesterday. Cheers Tim. I knew the first number was about cold and the second one about hot but that was about it!
  11. Ginger kid. 5' 6" pale, chubby, acne? Every Halfords seems to have one. Where do they get them from? How do they extract their brains without killing them? Why???
  12. Yeah, sadly it was only the 2.2 non turbo but the handling was years ahead of it's time, comfortable and quiet and without the power bulges it was quite a wolf in sheeps clothing. Oddly felt a bit short of character and if I could have either of them back? TR4 every time. Completely different era but just sooooooooooo much fun and now worth a small fortune.
  13. Mines got a sticker on it saying itwas polymer protected. Still stone chipped to b*ggery!
  14. Worst of reasons for selling I've owned over 20 cars through the years and I have only "patted" 3 on a regular basis BB, a TR4a irs and an audi quattro coupe of the "fire up the quattro" generation. The other 2 were sold due to "circumstances" so I know how you feel. Hope things are back on the up soon for you.
  15. All down to budget and driving style. I drive a bit quicker than average but don't make a habit of trying to stand it on it on its nose going into bends (slow in, fast out is what "lift" is for innit??? ) It'll do .....for now...... Sorry, to clarify. New wilwoods about £600 New avensis calipers and avensis discs little more than half that. Both TSport discs and calipers (& the pads that fit them) imo simply too small to haul the car up quickly, esp repeatedly. No point replacing Tsport caliper with new Tsport caliper. Fresh discs better the knackered ones ditto pads and when replacing upgrade over standard as a minimum. BUT new vin ordinaire discs pads hoses = 200 (hoses £60 of that). For 400 (with avensis discs and calipers) don't know if you would need new hoses, the performance can be transformed as opposed to slightly improved, allegedly lol.
  16. I have his Mtec grooved all round, Mintec pads and braided hoses, . Fine for what they are but if I was doing it again and known of the avensis option I would have done that. Not enough funds for willwoods which are a bit overkill. Very nice overkill, but over my budget. The front disc and pads are just too small. Silly cost saving nonsense but at least the brace cuts some of the excessive travel I had.
  17. well done. best value. master cylinder brace. Upgrade disc quality or size if you can plus avensis caliper to match. Good luck.
  18. Looks like a job for Greenlight? and no painting the wheels all dif colours.........oh what the hell? Got a set of stock TSports up for grabs?
  19. Yes, yes ok! Feeling as rough as a badgers proverbial. Haven't even open packages yet. I always get a crappy back to school time cold in Septemeber. Which is odd as my kids are grown up now. I blame the secretaries at work! Job 1 is to blitz them with Silver Surfers cleaner and wax then decide whether to run them on the existing rubber, probably not. Now who was looking for 4 tyres the other day?
  20. At last..........drum roll.......The Tech5s have arrived! :D Looking for gt lip, sports m rear spolier and trd quickshift, anyone?
