Fair enough chaps... I suppose if someone's going to nick it for petrol theft/bank robbery, a personal plate is a bit less generic and won't blend into the background so much. HA !

Ah yes, my bad. Didn't notice the single photo showing that haha !

I know a few people use velcro to stick the plates on .. just wondering for peace of mind if anyone has ever had issues like them falling off, or being stolen ? Obviously a passer by can't tell if a plate is stuck on with superglue, or something less permanent but I'm a little worried TBH...

Quiet you drunkard ! :dapprove:

God damn double post bug. Car still looks nice ! Needs ph2 rear lights and maybe a cup spoiler if you can get the paint to match ;)

I'll be honest and up front from the start... I've had worse photos from my D-SLR. Car looks TIDY !!! Get the arches scrubbed man... goodness me what has the world come to....... :coffee:

Fade it from one side to the other (or is that balance?) .. If it sounds OK when one side or the other, the polarity needs swapping on one of the sides. Fiddled with the EQ at all ? Is this MP3 music or 'out the shop' CDs ? Rhianna's music is A) CRAP and B) Crap. Bought the OH her CDs for...

Cheers boyo ! You and the Dot coming back to Essicks, ya ? Mentalists.

Find a nice easy route tonight (no traffic) where you can sit at 60-70 for a good few miles. Dual carriageway, probably easiest. Accelerating is what uses most fuel for obvious reasons. When you're at speed, the engine has less work to do. Reset the trip as you leave home, drive sensibly and...

Well, it is French..... the first was reasonably appropriate. Easy job to do yourself. Find a friend who is mechanically competent to help you first time round tho as you don't sound too confident. Just remember, if you've driven anywhere, the discs and pads will be WARRRRRM. Use a torque...

Not many people seem to be playing this year ! :( Here's my week 4: No.4 - 52 @ 50 by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Some freshly washed pics ! No need to start a new thread so here's the outcome of a quick wash: Clean Monaco by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr .. and a wax: Clean Monaco by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Clean Monaco by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Take it to Asda. Or the Post Office. Chances are the staff there know more about your issue. Seriously !!! There must be plenty of specialists around the W.Mids area ? BTM ??

Check your pads. Squeaking is normally there to tell you they're getting low on meat. Won't be covered on warranty ! If they're only a week old take them back. Clearly however, they are not.

Yup. Never meet your heros.

Sign up .. £12 and there's a world of knowledge at your fingertips ! :cool: Access to the search button is free to everyone :rasp:

Good grief... enough effort gone into that ! :approve: Is it staying white ? LOVE the wheels on this !!! Glad the bonnet vent will become redundant ;)

£4k ? Screams of scam, but the seller has a "genuine reason" for sale .. :boring: Phone them and tell them you have CASH WAITING!!!!!

Mange tut, Rodney. Mange tut.

Ahh ok.. cheers :) You! Back in your box. Bad scone. Thanks :dapprove: High mileage put me off because if I got a ph1 I wanted a mint one to keep for ever. Daily for a while then track toy. Couldn't wait for ever for "the one" but as said I can still sell this if needs be :)

Tidy. Love the Space Invaders stickers ! Shame they're not quiiiite as vivid as the green on the wheels. :dapprove:

I could easily see 45 on my ph1 (on a sensible 60-70ish run). Managed 65 miles at 49mpg once thanks to the traffic. Housemate's one was normally +1 or 2 compared to mine as his was stripped. Could also see 28 driving like a clown on short journeys. Anyway lets not open another debate on MPG ;-)...

So, the scoob is causing me issues again, and having no car drives me mental... After searching the internet for a whole week for a mint low milage modified Ph1 172 which was NOT silver, I popped t'countryside today and happened upon a completely standard Ph2. Here's one awful photo...

172 5HED ! GENIUS !! Love the panning pic of the 205 in the bottom right corner. Got a link to that one full size please ?

I have a car !!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure I will win nothing on my original list.... damn it :(

Trés bien mon ami ! :approve:

Probably. Ring a few places dude.. no one here can tell you what your local garage charges.

I'm sure you'll get a reasonable price on the tyres, but they'll "notice" you need a new exhaust, your brakes are shot and your engine needs re fluxcapacitoring and demand the lot is done.

HA ! A garage / tyre fitter / generic highstreet 'quick fit'ting establishment will be able to swap your tyres from one set of wheels to another. How much they may charge is up to them if they didn't supply the rubber. There's a mobile guy near me who comes to you (well not you as you're in...
