I meant the other cars, I know you've got that sorted out now

Lots of cock sucking and power understeer?

I'm pretty sour about this whole thing, but I guess we just have to bend over and take it... So frustrating to now have all these people doing their research after having voted. I can't work out why people would vote out. It was such a gamble. Those who did vote Leave, what were the reasons you did it? Not 'I just felt it was the best thing', but the actual reasons - such as 'I think the UK is strong enough to negotiate better trade links now than it currently has within the EU', not just 'to send the imagrunts (sic) home'. Weirdly it seems old people voted out in their droves, my mum did and a load of her mates. I think they have rose-tinted glasses on, from back before the UK was in the EU, thinking we're some great country that can stand on our own feet. My feeling is that things are different now... We don't make much stuff any more, don't really have much to offer the wider world, and we don't have high interest rates that we can drop to stimulate the economy in troubled times like we used to.

See you this weekend at Olde Home Farm Should be a cracking weekend! If anyone is travelling from afar, I've over-booked a twin room at the Travelodge Hull South Cave (end of the M62), 25 mins from the venue. This is available Friday night and I can't cancel it. Sling £20 to Cancer Research UK and it's yours - give me a call at work (01772 32 33 33) if you'd like to take it. Cheers.

I have a feeling that'll be raping the BB bearings as it is, the lockring is there for a reason.

That thing you get after you've done the job.

While it won't harm, it won't have any benefit either. Boggo stuff goes in my brakes

Well that looks... turd.

Losing you BHP too

Just rag / cut the shit out of it until it comes off, the new one will go back on fine without that front bolt.

Yep. A bitch first time, easy after that.

Nope The bolt for the wing goes through the bumper. And the bumper bolts are rusted t'fook.

That's the one...

Brake cable is 1.6mm, gear cable is 1.1mm usually.

Bicycle brake cable?

Cool - do the water pump when you do the cambelt in that case

My thoughts are... don't bother with the cam belt, they very very rarely let go and even if it does there'll be no damage, if the water pump isn't leaking leave it alone, other two belts are easy / cheap so worth doing. Cam cover: you can probably guess my opinion

Is that just the 'pull' for the reverse mechanism?

I haven't watched it yet, but this is exactly what I think too... The Clarkson / Hammond / May spin-off was always going to be cocking about, the BBC needed to do something different because they were never going to compete directly. Making it more car-focused would win kudos from actual car people. People who just want to see entertaining shit with cars as the sideline will watch something else.

It was a in a Westfield: But yes, seen them in loads of different cars! I think you will always want 'more power', it's just natural...

Yep, mine was about 260bhp, non turbo, and super reliable. So good.

Good choice of engine

Feedback... Drilling and tapping stainless is a twat. Can you cut more off the linkage that comes out of th e gearbox?

This. Try this for holding the sprocket in the vice:

Not if the insert is fitted correctly - it'll be structural.
