  1. sorry, what car do you have..

    i've had german, british, french, more german, and my current saxo hasn't let me down yet.

    have you ever owned a french car, if no, stop jumping on that passing band wagon

    I've owned two french cars! Does that mean I'm allowed to slate them?

    I had a 1.9 diesel citroen zx reflex, which was genuinely hateful, and then a 1.9 8v petrol volcane auto! which was truly amazing.

    both were poorly built, but the volcane had big comfy recaro style seats, revved to 7k, had an awsome 4 speed 'sport' auto box, and handled really nicely being a 306 chassis.....

    Then the big ends went at 86k :(

    meh. it's renaults I have a passionate hatred for.....

    EDIT: oh damn the irony. this is PRAWN but I've broken into frenchmans house whilst he's at the gym and I'm using his computer!

  2. I'm still here mate. That's it i'm 21 now! No more berties for us hey! My birthday will always be revolved around you and the riv run.

    Always thinking of you buddy.

    I miss you.

    Lots of love.

  3. Just a little update, no pictures unfortunately.

    I have spoken to simon at morspeed with regards oli's engine.

    It has been ready to send for quite some time, although simon being one of the best engine builders in the business he does seem to be somewhat disorganised!

    Simon has been on holiday the last week or so which is why Nick and myself had no luck with chasing up the engine.

    Simon has promised the engine will be with matt at the workshop by the end of the week.

    I'm going to try and pop up to matts next week sometime so i'll get some more pictures for everyone then.

    Many thanks

  4. Update Alert!!!

    So after a 350 mile round trip yesterday prawn and myself collected all of the bits oli had gathered over the years to complete the mini.

    Upon dropping the bits off to the tupmans we had a little look round what had been done to the car and discussed what was left to be done.

    Ill let the pictures do the talking, please bare in mind before painting all the hard work doesnt really show.

    More updates soon guys.

    This is going to be something special.

  5. Is that a challenge Diet? Who thinks we should actually organise a trials forum track day? its been mentioned so many times now, why not set a date? Say castle combe spring action day? its open to all cars.....

    Or donnington in the new year? £99 open pit lane....

    Caleb, what are you asking about the TT?

    Definately mate.

    I think the spring action day at combe as it gives everyone a bit of a chance to sort their cars out and the weather to dry up;)

    When is donnington?

  6. After a quick look i found this exhaust company, they specialise in race supplies.

    Another question tyler, any reason why you choose a gsxr400 over say a zxr400 as finding aftermarket parts for the gixxer is a mission

    as you have already probably found out.

  7. No luck in the random Qs thread so thought I'd try here.

    I'm now on my second ipod (20gb photo) the first one was JUST within warrenty and the click wheel stopped working. They replaced it no problem.

    The other day I dropped mine, went to catch it by the headphones but they just came out. Later I realised the bottom is slightly cracked and it wont play music now.

    What shall I do? Does anyone know the link on the apple site where I can send it back? I dont wanna send it back and then get a silly bill for repair.

    Apple site is a nightmare for tryint to find anything like that, I could probably send it back easy but don't want to have to pay for a bloody repair.

    Any suggestions?? pleaseee

    Thanks

    Rob

    Rape them!!!!!!
