• Naff car accessories of one`s own youth :) 25 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  We often laugh at today`s youth with those `dustbin` exhausts and front `splitters` being ripped off by road humps, but what about your own past? I`m almost sure I stuck some of those fake bullet holes on something long ago.... Bet that would go down well now, in certain parts of Manchester

  The car is back from the accident repairers with just one fault noted so far. The n/s door mirror works fine, but when you adjust the o/s one the n/s one moves too. It's going back in, but does anyone know tjhe cause? They weren't repairing in that area but I guess will have played with wires

• American anger over BP oil leak 29 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  being we don`t give a toss - and wear it as underpants. I mean, It`s an accident isn`t it? It`s not as though BP has said `your mega trucks that you use as personal transport use so much fuel -- that we`ll just flood the Gulf of Mexico with oil and it should last you a week or so given your world
• Long gone parts availability. 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  You know how it is. Anything more substantial than an oil filter and it`s got to be ordered in. An exaggeration perhaps? Yes, but not much. Contrast that situation, with our local BMC parts dept in the 60`s. I was in regular contact with the affable bloke at the parts desk - in the massive
