    Plane Collision

    Very very tragic. Had no idea that a plane/micro could be legally home built http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20080818...ne-6323e80.html

    Hot Summers

    I agree Peter, In fact I was watching a programme on Discovery channel and some of the original global warning scientists who advised Governments admitted that they hugely over compensated the doomsday figures, and that they have no regrets as they thought action should be taken sooner. So maybe the bin an could have taken my old fridge after all.

  9. Hi, Just to clarify things, I will need 4 90deg elbows and these are the only ones Car builder solutions do http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/elbows-345-c.asp 12, 15, 19mm are the closest ones My question is do i stretch and clamp the hose to 19mm elbow or just clamp it to the slimmer 15mm? Sorry but i am new to all this and was going to order the elbows online as the local car shops dont have any and cant be doing with sending stuff back by post Cheers Andi
  10. My wife is CSI obsessed. I hate them "had a trip or a fall?" type adverts or the "now you can borrow enough money to get completely out of debt?????????" type s Especially the latter as they are obviously aimed at people out of work or housewives with mortgages due to the fact they are on in the day. The words scum and vultures wouldnt be too strong methinks.
  11. Sounds a daft question but I dont have one. It has been plugged off at the carb side of my 2L pinto. I dont have a heater but would like to try running water through this part of the engine. I have read conflicting reports about weather or not to do this, but my engine is always at least 86 deg so it wont harm it trying. So i imagine the id is something like 19mm. Also are there any other lighter hoses besides expensive silicone? The one piece of hose I have is more like a rubber cosh.

    Headlights Skewiff

    Lol, Thanks for that technical gem Phil. I was wondering if there was a specific height and distance the lights should shine on a surface eg garage door
  14. Are there any measurements somebody has for the correct place of the headlights. Mine seem a bit to the left and one seems too low. Thanks
  15. Just read this interesting article on a Nissan forum (No pictures though im afraid) Might give it a try. Fix those Stone chips -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- we all get them, they're annoying, and Ive had my front bumper resprayed 4 times now because of them, and so here's a cheap solution, before you go any further though, its not as good as a reprayed bumper, but its not bad. Tools you'll need: Depending wether you're doing it on the car or not you'll need a few tools to take the bumper off, I took mine off to make it easier on my back. touch up pen patience superglue patience wet and dry fine grade (1200 or higher) patience beer patience cutting polish(T-cut, autoglyms paint renovater, G3) patience polishing cloth's patience I well further stress the need for patience, I would say I have less than average amount of this, but when it comes to doing my car I have a lot, and I got seriuosly *bleep* at doing this. before pictures: Make sure the bumper is nice and clean, touch up using your touch up pen, for the deep holes use a dab superglue after you've put the paint in the hole, this acts as a thick laquar to smooth things out (at this point I called it a day, and got drunk, leaving the paint and glue to fully dry overnight) Allow to dry out, then using the wet and dry, fully soaked in really soapy water(I used 1 part water to 1 part washing liquid)and rub bumper where you've been touching up till its smooth(you have to keep dipping in the water) this is what it'll look like when you're done: Then rub off after its dried with a cloth, it'll now look like this: Now that bit should of taken a while, this will take even longer, using the polish and the cloth's, rub like hell where its all dull, after time it will come up shiny and nice again, and here's the finished result:

    Marshaling

    "you will be smelly, tired, & possibly wet, and will nod off to sleep within 5 minutes of sitting down." Not too far off, It was a long day but very enjoyable. I can only imagine it being a lot more miserable in the cold and wet. The last race was won by Andrew Stirling in a V 3640cc Dax Rush.. Proper monster sound. The wife decided to join me and won the marshalls raffle and bet me a quid on every race and won every one so she was happy.

    Help!

    Have you tried right clicking on the computers in the bottom right hand corner and selecting "open network connections"? Otherwise wannadoo should have a hotline for restoring connections. Just make sure its local rate hth
  19. If you dont get a response, I came across this website yesterday http://carsandownersreunited.com/. Havnt tried it and there probably is a cost but they dont make it instantly obvious. Maybe worhwhile

  21. Have just got a ticket to do some marshalling at 750 race at Mallory Park next weekend. Never done this before so has anyone got any indication as to what it may entail? Hopefully not stuck directing car parking from 8 till 5 because obviously it would be nice to see a bit of the event
