dont know if this is any good but how about getting an..ahem....more senior driver as the main name on the policy, and just having yourself as a named driver? If you have a normal car as well you'll still be earning no claims (hopefully) on that, and if you pick a "senior" with a good record it should get really cheap. Ours on a 2 litre pinto has never been above £200 but then i am starting to get on a bit myself now! Paul

one appeared on ebay if i remember a few months back...

If we're onto films, the three that i can watch over and over again are Canonball Run, Gumball Rally and Smokey and the Bandit! Paul

3 ways to make yourself feel better i reckon. 1. Cost, of a new jag must be over £20k mustnt it? Versus your 2b at around £5k 2. Agilty: Around corners the 2b should leave the jag wallowing 3. Grin factor: Much as i love jags, I had a go in a new jag and cant ever imagine grinning as much as i do in the hood

glad to hear your baby has arrived. what a relief, the whole boards been on edge all day! paul

Peter Kay, The Green Wing, The New Battlestar Gallactica, Anything that shows hapless members of the public being crushed...isnt there a German word for that? Paul

hi andy, if anyone needs the cad file that i did for your clock just let me know. i've got the racing mnr the road mnr and i've also got an s7 that i got from steve knaggs. as well as an mnr logo and a vortex one. (dxf, dwg, or jpeg, etc etc) also if your other offers fall through i can always etch you a plaque. i've got a bit of brushed stainless left overfrom all the testing! plaques are easy because theyre square (unlike a clock!) let me know. paul

his best moment ever on telly was when he was hypnotised to believe a toy porshce was real, and that clarksons pedal car had just written it off! Other than that, i'd have to side with Terry Though it would be good publicity for the club. Paul

not car related at all, but just wondered if someone out there in the world of hoodies can help me out. i'm trying to find a free program that alerts you when your favourire websites get an update. I remember that i've seen one once, but cant for the life of me remember what it was called. all the ones i've seen look very good, but are all pay sites which sort of goes against the grain! any ideas? Paul

just spotted this on the MNR site: Perfect for you Mr Daniels...... "Racing Team In 2005 MNR Will Be Entering The 750 mc RGB Championship With Our Vortx RT+, We Have One Space Available In Our Works Team For Next Year Please Ask For Details " sounds good paul

i can!

when ours broke we actually managed to pick one up from halfords. They were selling it off cheap as a clearance. we went back and tried to buy a load more for other members but they'd sold out. May be worth ringing round a few though to see if theyre doing similar things? Paul

all that money for a shopping cart with a lot of orange plastic glued onto it???? "bigwillyben" ????? big car loan, big dummy, big mistake. just imagine the scene as he lay under his "Fast and the Furious" single duvet cover the morning after, once his 3 WKD's had worn off from the night before and the realisation that he's just spent 5 and a half grand on what's effectively a shopping cart with go faster stripes begins to sink in. Do people really have expectations that low? "if i could buy any car i'd buy a corsa.... you know a really smart one...in orange - maxed up to *bleep*, wicked paint job and 1200 of throbbing hatchback power" the mind boggles. paul

David , have you tried ebay? you can set up a search that runs for a year of so and will email you daily with every search item thats added to ebay. i have this set up and normally get details of about 7 sierras everyday. your probably best trying all the methods suggested, maybe a local scrappy would let you know when something useful comes in? good luck paul

where is that road steve? it looks stunning paul

I couldnt agree more, we too went halves on our hood and my half was earned working a night shift and every sunday as overtime for a year and a half . makes it all worthwhile if you can look at the hood when you've paid for it and realise what all those long nights and sleepless days were all about. The best money i think i've ever spent too! Things are starting to get cheaper for us though at the moment : the guy at the gate at Donno let my dad in as an OAP!!!! when he gets the bus pass it should be even cheaper! Paul

and to think i put my mates through an hour of the little bloke off top gear and john "i wont be a celebrity, i;ll just go back to having a normal life" tickle; all in the hope of a hood! still the explosives girls just about made up for it

I've got some of those as well! although your probably right about the looking stupid bit. Still...does anyone know where you can get the flying caps from? May as well go the whole hog! paul

http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/pugwash.htm its a shame though

we have a series 2, with no adjustments to the pedal area, or seats. its not the most comfortble, but after 2 years its still worth it! paul

Andy, try here, thats where the pic was from. sales@signprint.co.uk i think it was about £4.60, not sure how big, but you can have them what size you like. failing that i know a couple of people throgh work that do this kind of stuff; car graphics, stickers, labels etc who i can have a chat with if you want one? Paul When Matts back maybe he could set up a special Vortx room? i get the feeling this is going to be a long thread!

by the way..... you need to get one of these as a graphic for the car...maybe in blue?

thats saved us a job then! we were thinking about that!

God i want one of those, maybe if i sold the house? paul (one day....)

can we see a pic of the chassis?
