  1. Speaking of a TF meet, anyone up for one, like, soon? We said we would and it just never happened...
  2. Cool stuff, cheers! The reviews all seemed to say the same thing that they're pretty exciting in the wet, could make a good summer tyre though. We'll see if we can squeeze some rubber out of someone else first I think. Did you get a shell sorted for the MX5? My mate's just bought this to rip the engine and box out of, if it's not a pear you might be interested? Looks straight as anything.
  3. Yokohama AO48s - thoughts running them on the capper? Do about 5000 miles a year if that, good idea or bad idea? Ps, they're free.
  4. VR6 question: can you afford to insure it?
  5. Diesel's are a weird one Jake, the TDI in my Landy's about 150bhp and that weighs a tonne - the thing shifts pretty well even with the 31" tyres on it. They just aren't as much fun to drive though. Have you driven any non-slow petrol cars? Capri's not exactly fast, but i'd take it any day over how the landy and any other diesel i've ever driven, well, drives. I find you're just always chasing revs that aren't there when you try and drive hard (that said, my 200tdi's been one of the best in that respect). Thought about an economical petrol?
  6. Just ate a Camel, no regrets.
  7. f**k that guy on the roadie.
  8. so you are poopipe...
  9. lost way too many past few years, it's bullshit.
  10. never good to wake up and find out one of your old mates has died overnight. f**k.
  11. Less talk more skids.
  12. That was fantastic, great talk!
  13. I can handle that. Gonna give it a clean out, re-fill it with oil and be reeeeeeally gentle. On the plus side it's gonna do wonders for my fuel economy.
  14. Oh, speaking of diff questions... I think my planetary gears are on their way out. Bit of a rubbing sound on tight corners and when jacked up, both wheels are turning the same way (it's an open diff so shouldn't be doing that, shirley) If i drive it another (very gentle) 200 miles or so 'til I can get a replacement in, am I going to be killed?
  15. I'm with Adam, that's ridiculous! Speaking of the man above - shot you a message on FB the other day, not sure if you saw it. Mate of mine's after a late 1.8, do you have any suggestions for where to find one, or breakers? Also; turbo people. I'm thinking of giving the Land Rover some love. It's currently got a T25 on there and i'd quite like to up the boost a bit, what would be a good upgrade? Could I put a T28 on from a 200SX or similar? Am I right in the bolt pattern for the manifold would be the same, or is that some non-information i've picked up along the way?
  16. Last move. f**king hell. I loved the Wayne's World moment:
  17. Yeah man, apparently she's seeing the guy from the band - didn't seem too bothered about that at a few points though
  18. Also, I just put two and two together and realised we were having a groove about with Dakota Blue Jacobs at one point too, nice.
  19. Just watched that cobbles video too - Jesus Christ. I wonder if at any point he thought 'i've made a huge mistake'?
  20. This weekend's shaping up to be a good one. Ps, just seen that photo Mike - ahaaaaaa, it's even more hideous than I thought! Quality night though, was great to see you.
  21. Anyone going Classic Ford sunday?
  22. Not just yet, i'll chase it up this week I think. Might even try and get over to their place for a week or something, getting out 'togging with them would be good fun.
  23. Yeah, luckily it's all over uni-wise this week so I should be able to get on with the more fun stuff a bit more, but then I need to head back home and hunt for a job. She's doing my nut at the moment, we had an argument today because I liked a poster she didn't. She is genuinely mental. Text my best mate about 3 asking if we could go pub as I could really use it, no reply. Cheers mate.
  24. Usual crock of shit to be honest Dave; missus is f**king loopy and needs her head looking at, this house is vile, i've got a tonne of work on so not been out much bar yesterday, haven't seen any of my housemates in about a week as they're either never here or are completely reclusive and act surprised to find you in the corridor. Yes Chelsea this is where I live you f**king wand. Just a bit lonely I guess, spend way too much time on my own at the moment.
