Oh Hai :rasp: How was the grumpy witch ?
Went past the Asda in Greenhithe and the chavs including a clio with orange wheels :dead: were having a rave or dealing drugs or something .. I did giggle as my exhaust popped and grumbled as I rolled past upto the roundabout :cool:
... with one final pic.
After nearly 2 years and about 20,000 miles it's time to move on from the surrender monkey fraternity.
Car goes to new owner this week (nice to meet you today Jason!). Not sure what I'll be driving next as I still have my fat hamster Honda Jazz to roll about in for...
I have been waiting for last nights hangover to kick in, and spent a bit of time sticking this together !
An Ode to Mr Strode
:cool:
(poss NSFW as the song has naughty lyrics)
Well it's been fun boys and girls, but it's time that both myself and danny172 move on from the surrender monkey fraternity !
My car is now provisionally sold, I'm having a relatives car for a few months whilst they are in hospital, saving some pennies and buying something daft and RWD. He's...
I'm looking (no really this time..) to sell mine in the next month. On Pistonheads and on here, they seem to be almost free... you can pick them up for peanuts, with half the car and a cambelt changed in the last 6 months.
I'm wondering if it's even worth bothering ?! My grandad's going for...
Only joking..
Met up with Robbos and my housemate (danny172) a couple of weekends back. Gave the cars a wash, and fitted his Ph-poo bumper and lights.
...
So there I was. Minding my own business when *POOMPH* .. I'm blind !!!!
Oh wait, it's ok, the powers gone off... It'll be back in a min. :coffee:
Patted the desk and found my phone to get to the Maglite..
20 mins later .. I'm bored. Village in darkness, from my house up the hill...
Anyone got one ?
I'm thinking about getting one .. xbox in my bedroom, and bed is in front of the TV with about 3ft between end of bed, and TV. No room for chair in front of TV, and sitting on end of bed 3ft from 37" LCD TV would mean I'd be blind within about an hour !
Also don't like...
Coming along the motorway the other evening, in heavy rain, waterlogged (not quite aquaplaning levels) doing about 50/60ish, and I had to brake as the traffic was queueing on the slip road ahead. Press middle pedal .. nothing .. press harder .. starts to slow a bit .. press harder, change...
Been after one for a while as it bugs me when I have to jack the back up, then axle stand the rear beam, then hope the back's up far enough to pop the front up .. and as I'm moving out soon, I'll need my own jack anyway !
Found this 1.250 tonne 80mm entry bad boy on machine mart for £91...
So, after a lap of the M25 on Sunday to pick these up, and 2 hours last night cleaning the brake dust/ mud/ CV grease (Oh hai Warren x) off the damn things .. I got round to fitting them tonight !
Not sure if cleaning them was the best idea... Don't know if it's the car being too dirty, or the...
Went house hunting today .. grabbed a quick pic of one place and rather liked it ! :cool:
I think it looks a bit like a wide-boy V6 thanks to the wide angle lens haha :o
Friggin dirty tho. Not going to clean it as Warren will shout at me tomorrow when I pick up 4 circular silver things...
I know you have to cut these to size to get them to fit on a Clio.. but, what do you do ?
Take 30mm out the middle ?!
Shave a bit off each side ?
Clip a bit off the ends !?
Does anyone have a guide / photos / anything useful ?
Thanks in advance :o

Friends sister is selling her Cooper. Needed some photos for the ad. Cue me and my friend in Bluewater one evening, looking like a pair of numpties taking pictures of the mini
Then had some fun in the car with the 10-20mm + curtain flash ! In retrospect not a good idea...
Just been informed by my next door neighbour that he was overtaken by a V12 Clio..
You may mock .. but it definitely was a V12 .. It said so on the back, and it had twin exhaust pipes....!
I struggled to stay upright from laughing so much...!!
:quiet:
Detailing gurus.. :hail: can you help a Giraffe in need ?
I got this little bottle as my freebie with Evo subscription.
Can't work out what the hell it is..
Is it a wax ? a glaze ? a quick-detailing fluid .. or ..... what !?
Cheers ! :o

Friend is looking at a ph1, but the dealer selling says the keys are non-remotes !
HPI check all comes out ok ..
Any ideas !? Got a 200 mile round trip tomorrow, but dont want to do that if it's going to be a lemon.
Cheers !

Parked in the exclusive Clio parking space which I'd never spotted before (but will be using from now on haha) between the front door and the disabled space !
:cool:
One silver Ph1 with one sidelight by Tesco by Leybourne Lakes .. i was in my RS on Tuesday evening.
One blue Ph1, somewhere round East Grinsted possibly yesterday about 1400. Recognise the plate off here .. Y221 JLA or JRA ... something like that anyway ?! I can't find any pics of any blue...
2 in the car park, non-sports, sporting CS stickers ..
Black Mk2ph2 - EO52 VMW, and next to that,
Mk1 P19 MBK
Anyone up for a mini-meet in 7oaks Sainsburys ...? I popped in for a few bits, and was very surprised by the amount of pretty girls behind the checkouts !! :approve...
Only joking .. of course you can oogle..!
No before shots .. but it was pretty naff .. lots of flies, tree fall out, and some awful marks from when it was in rehab on the bonnet, and the bumper.
Had a few mins to kill, so got the sponges, fairy liquid and t-cut out.
Bubbles...
Hola.
