My mates neigbours complained about his 6 year old lad riding his monkey motorbike in his own garden, saying it was too loud, it's quite as f*ck compared to their petrol lawn mowers and strimmers. People like that will complain about anything. I'm sure there are db limits in residential areas...

No not fiddled with it at all, it's been in there for about a year and a half and it's never felt hot before, you can touch it, but it's just today i've noticed it getting hot.

I did a round trip of about 50 miles today and both times I removed the HU face it was bloody roasting! When I got back to my house I took the face off and pressed my hand against the HU and it was so hot it was like pressing your hand on to a central heating radiator, I swear it's not...

Ring Brentacre, they don't give a sh*t what you do to your car as long as you declare it, my seats have been removed and it was an option with them and they didn't charge for it, they only charge extra for BHP gains. When I started going through modified car insurers I was amazed that it was...

Very nice mate, white Clios look amazing

The original Vid in this thread is being shown on (West)Midlands Today at 6:30 BBC1, the businesses on that industrial estate are up in arms and want the Police to do something about all the nobs racing there all the time. (The Sky channels in the 970s have West Midlands news I think.)

Yes they fold flat and if you have a quick release front wheel it'll take a bike with ease. I managed to fit a flat pack Ikea 2 seater sofa in the back of mine.(Just)

Don't they have a Police force in that part of the country? I might go the next time they have a meet and setup a track suit & baseball cap concession, i'd make a bloody fortune.

I wonder if I could get away with pinstriping my Clio? I suspect i'd get laughed at, shame really as it's a cool artform but only really suits hotrods. God I want a hotrod!

Every time he sees a 1*2 he must be thinking, 'look at all these wannabes in 1.2s with their fake body kits and Halfords sport badges'. I'd have just laughed out loud and as said above, opened the bonnet and shouted, 'yeah it even has a replica 2.0L engine'.

He pulls some quality mongo faces in that vid. (OP, what kind of birds have you been shagging if you can't tell that's a man?);)

Jesus! You're not f*cking about are you?

If you don't like the lime green at least you know what to use to cover it up with.;)

No sorry mate, the buy basket only has a drop down menu for the normal colours. You might have to ring them for the fluorescent colours, as I can't find them on their website. I agree, wouldn't lacquer make it impossible to peel off? I was under the impression that the clear spray they do...

Apparently it's only an extra quid for 3 tins delivered. Total price £38.50, cheaper than the price of one wheel refurb.

It's not £9 quid, it's £15.60 per can. One can : £9 VAT :£2.60 P&P : £4

Apparently it's been done with 1 can, but 2-3 is more realistic I think. I typed in 'Plasti Dip alloys' into Google and read the posts on other car forums and they were buying 3 cans, 2 in order to give them 3 coats each and 1 as a back up.

No don't use the primer, it's to make it permanent so it never comes off.

Slightly concered that all the pics of the roof in your album are from a distance, does it not look good close up or something? I'm just going to stick to doing the wheels on mine, although you can get a clear spray to coat the windows supposedly it's a chip prevention, wonder if you could...

Cool, I don't think i'd get bored of that.

Spraying them red doesn't help, I think a couple of coats of black would look better, the results hasn't put me off, my 172 alloys would need a pro refurb if I was to get them powder coated, so this Plasti Dip stuff looks like a good comprimise if you want a colour change without spending loads...

Cheese wedge. Looks exactly like the cars I use to draw in the back of my maths book, kind of cool, in a Thunderbirds kind of way.

I like how civilised the discussion was on the scooby forum, no-one got angry and no-one took the piss, if you had the same topic on here it would just end up in name calling and hatred.

Only 69 Lotus Carltons left, I knew a lad that had one back in the 90s, it was bloody quick!

I don't know, depends whether you can peel off the Plastikote stuff like you can with the Plasti Dip. http://www.plastidip.co.uk/

After i've got new tyres all round i'm going to have a go at doing my wheels black. I was researching this last night and ended up on a US forum for F150 pick ups, they were using it on their wheels and running boards to winter protect them from salt, grit and the like. They were saying they...

Yep, sounds like you've had a bit of a woof day, paws for thought, at least you've got a good tail to tell.

I wonder how many sets of wheels you'll go through before your next magazine feature, I thinking about 6.;) I keep an eye on this thread and reserve judgement untill it's finished, as disliking elements of your cars is pointless, as they probably won't be on it when your done. Be good to see...

If I drive out of the city I put it in the car, especially if i've got to go on the motorway, but for driving around locally I don't bother, as one phone call and my mate will just bring my spare from the house, also my cousin has a low loader because he sells cars, so if i'm really stuck he's...

Get rid of the spare wheel it weighs a bloody ton, I haven't had seats of a spare for years now, but I mainly did it so my German Shepard's head didn't hit the roof, also he filled the rear veiw whenever he was in the back, he sits alot lower in the car now, I also ditched the spare wheel as i'm...
