    Dip Stick

    Sorry to answer a question with a question, but the topic is something Ive been thinking about. I have a shortened sump and was wondering if that would affect the ideal level for oil on the dipstick?

    http://shop.instant-shop.com/Snooperdirect/product50186.html Does anybody have any experience of snoopers and if they are effective? As a safety measure obviously.

    Hope It Snows

    Ok so maybe there are`nt many bends, and the fire ants are a problem, But no litter, potholes or pedestrians really make up for it.

    Newark Show

    Not long got back from camping in East Berlin.... Yes!!! East Berlin..! it was an old soviet training and relaxation base in a big park in the city center. (http://www.tentstation.de) We used these pop up tents that are amazing if you cant be bothered with pitching. They really do take 2 seconds maybe 3 (that was the one we had) to put up and are double skinned and totally waterproof. Best camping gadget ever LINK http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/touring-tents-13801414/#

    Eat like an American (when in Rome) Ponderosa restaurant... All you can eat breakfast for pennies. Sonnys BBQ Pit............ Unbelievable ribs and steaks. The Golden Coral......... Al you can eat full on American food, again pennies compared to here. These places litter FLA. Oh yeah and if you drive through a huge swamp in Paisley Ocala forest say howdy to my brother who thought it a good idea to buy an acre of swampland and live on it.

  8. Well thanks for that especially Enforcer. I will try the diplomatic approach once more before logging and photographing.
  9. Some git over the road has 4 cars, he has recently purchased a big merc van which he parks in front of the dropped kerb of my garage/drive. I have asked him 4 times to move it and even got a do not park sign on my gate (after putting a dent in my rear wing trying to squeeze out) Anyway he was there again last night so before i declare an all out war I was wondering if what he is doing is illegal???
  10. Cheers Ian.
  11. After camping Sunday night to leave the show at 9am today to get to work, Jeez! the rain on the M69 nearly took the skin off my face cos of the aeroscreen (maybe full face helmets are in order for the rain)..... Found the RHOCAR register but couldnt find the camp area, so had to make do with a mixed field right at the back. But 1st run out to a show and had a brill time, cant wait to do some more.
  12. Can one take a caravan into the event? and if so how much is it? Dont spose there`s any electrical hook ups are there? I will be in a humble tent, but I think Ive convinced my parents to go you see
  13. The Atom I think. See if this top gear snippet makes your mind up.

    Weather

    Im sure its taking the p**s out of me today, every time I get the car out of the garage, in the blazing sun it turns to sleet or rain quicker than you can say "no weather gear".
  15. Yes many years ago I was stuck 300 miles away on the coast in a Fiat X19 after a puncture and the spare was punctured too (just brought it and failed to check) anyway the large royal type of recovery company said on the phone they could not touch it if I hadnt looked after the spare. They sent a contractor to do a road side repair if possible, whereby he just lifted me up and said "get in, youve got two flat tyres and a flat spare havnt you?" Gotta hand it to some of these guys.
  16. Could anybody tell me the requirements for having (or not as in my case) a spare wheel whilst on the road, or at MOT time? Thanx

    Long time since the post, but if the problem is still there maybe this rhocar link may help
  19. Special thanks to all guys and gals at last nights meet for making a couple of newbies welcome. Andi & Clare
  20. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...h&plindex=2 But beautiful i would say
  21. NIP! Yes I got one a couple of weeks ago in Leicester, I could see the yellow cameras and white speed markers a few hundred yards away and thought mmmmm 30 mph limit. I was just over and so decided to touch my brakes well before the white markers and straight away another camera went off that works off 2 very thin hardly noticeable strips across the road (as i said earlier, well before the white speed markers). Anyway I got booked for 36mph, BUT, I have been given the option of paying £60 without the 3 points, as long as I attend a speed awareness course, so not so bad. Regarding speed control, I have heard that in Europe, (possibly parts of Spain) that when you get clocked by a speeding device it will change the very next set of traffic lights to red and make you wait. You dont get penalised apart from a) Being even later for work than before. Having a long queue of angry late motorists behind you. I think that would work a treat, but some do say that here in the UK that they like extra revenue. Dont know how true that is?????????

    Shocks

    Hi all, Got my Robin last week and ended up towing it home due to rad hose falling off. Then when I got home I jacked it up to refit a hose. Anyway today I went out for a play and noticed when i got back both shocks were hanging off. I suspect this is something to do with one of my above actions, but should they come off that easy??? More to the point how do i get them back on? I am new to mechanics so will probably be asking a lot of dumb sounding questions, but I really want to do this hoody thing so I need to start somewhere.
  25. Just off Uppingham Road (lots of damn ramps)
