Been chucking it down here, so not sure how mine is progressing.

Look how young he looks there! Got a lot of time for Ingram, seems a good lad. Done really well this year to win the ERC title. There are definitely gains to be had by ditching the twist beam on rally cars. All the teams did it back in the F2 days. As you say, there are good gains in travel for...

Just watched the video. Quite interesting to think of it in those terms. Watched one of his other videos too. Not one of the worst I've seen. Like his R34 too. On the subject of bad YouTubers, I just watched this, only because I enjoy Leno's stuff. This video sums up perfectly to me what is...

I would definitely agree with that. I can't watch people like that Shmee character. They have just read some facts from the brochure and say how brilliant everything is. I don't see what people actually get from watching it.

Exactly. He has little to gain by responding to this, as the mob will want blood regardless. He needs to speak to the guy directly, not us.

I haven't seen many/if any people defending him. Some have put across positive experiences, others have just commented on how something doesn't add up. If people don't want to hear all sides of a debate, then posting about it on a public forum probably isn't a good idea. It sounds like there...

To look at this from a different angle, you could argue that any engagement from Carl on this topic or on social media could do further damage, as every prick could want to chuck in their two cents worth. Arguing with people on the internet, especially when most of them have nothing to do with...

In fairness the one job Proline did for me was fine lol

If I have an issue with a business, I have no doubt at all that I wouldn't break into their property or assault anyone. Like I said, perhaps I am weird. That or I'm obviously not living in a gangster movie like other people.

He could have always gone over there on a weekday when he knew he was open? I sympathise if the guy has been conned, but that doesn't excuse criminal behaviour. Two wrongs don't make a right. Agree on the second point. I am not defending either side. Like I said earlier in the thread, there is...

Perhaps I'm weird, but even if I was pissed off about my car taking ages, I don't think I would break into someone's yard or "thump" anyone.

VHS Rallies is a good one. Salvages old VHS content that hasn't been digitised.

There seems to be a lot of comments being made based on what people have read on Facebook, rather than those who are directly involved, i.e. the customer who is upset and the proprietor of the business, i.e. bloke. A bit of caution is required perhaps, as there might be a lot more to this than...

There is a reason I avoid car groups on FB. I joined a couple of Fiesta ones as I have been looking at buying an ST and the stuff you read on there is unbelievable. God forbid you ask a simple question, you just seem to get lynched. Social media really does bring out the worst in people. This...

I have never seen a single example of Zagato actually making an Aston Martin look better than it did as standard. Bloody awful looking things in my view.

What. The. f**k.

I used a bit of a cut through yesterday to avoid some traffic at a busy junction. It's quite a fun little road, but only really used by farmers for the most part, so it was a bit of a mud bath. Impressive progress for one day, especially given how bad it was already... Pictures don't do it...

Why did you wipe it with black paint?

Got some snaps in Tesco car park: Cleaned the number plate on Thursday but it's starting to get grubby again already.

I do love a 106. Hopefully it won't cause too many headaches, but the throttle cable is a worrying start lol

My car is coming along nicely now. Will try and get some pictures.

This is the one in my local club: It's a nicely prepared little car. They seem to have a lot of fun in it. Do all sorts of events in it, road rallies and such.

But I can't be bothered to build one either. I want instant gratification lol

Weren't those 101 conversions meant to be taxis or something? Quite cool, but not exactly something to drive to the shops.

That's lovely. Don't suppose you want to sell it to me lol

Yeah no doubt.

I only ever bought one thing off him (a custom clutch hose for my rally car) and he was really helpful to be honest. A shame it ended up like this, but seems to be the way with so many small car parts businesses.

Don't really know much about them to be honest, but you'd be alright tweaking the spring rates a bit. As the rest of the suspension is new, that won't be an issue. I'm sure someone on here would be able to advise on some good rates to run with slicks. Spring choice on eBay is almost limitless...

It would cost a lot of money to get to 100bhp, so I probably wouldn't bother. I am not against modifying whatever you have though. If you like the car and can afford it, do what makes you happy. There are a few small-engined cars (including Clios) floating around the club motorsport scene...

I'm being lazy here, but what suspension are you running at the moment? If you're on coilovers all round, you could always chuck some stiffer springs at it, they're cheap enough.
