My boss at the time where I currently am - had one of these back in circa 2001. Awesome car - in fact, it was the same colour. I loved the stance, poise and general madness of it. :)

Took the ChavVagen out for a blat earlier this afternoon - epic weather for a jaunt out. Headed out to Bakewell via Monsal Head, then through Chatsworth House and back through Buxton.
Spotted a Monaco (?) blue Ph.1 first near Glossop and then a black Ph.1 a little bit later coming past Glossop...
Something that is seriously lacking from most mainstream manufacturers these days. If it makes the bean-counters happy, then it goes through into production. Otherwise, nay chance.

Bloody hell Matt - do you actually have a sense of smell? ;)
Iron-X smells awful - but as it's good at what its supposed to do, I can easily overlook that.
What does crack me up however, is the large list of warnings on the side of bottle in terms of affects on the skin, swallowing it, damage...
From what I've read on CS, the water pumps tend to be pretty strong. That said, my 182 is just a bit higher mileage than yours and if I was having the cambelt done again, I think I'd factor in a new water pump too. Just for peace of mind, rather than anything else.

Re: Supercharged Sunflower
Porsche's are on par with that as well. Quite shocked with that, given the minimal extra work to get everywhere painted vs. the additional cost.

Muchos respect that with something as desirable as a 135i soft-top - that you still have an appreciation of the high-revving Jap motors. :)
Looks a good purchase - liking the profile view with the roof down. And as others - as least you've got the correct climate for it over there. :)

Surely that arguments so old hat these days though? I can't recall the last software I 'downloaded' for the PC. I pretty much buy everything through Steam these days.
My 360 Bookend however...... totally the opposite. I wouldn't even know what a green-recycled bin DVD case would look like. ;)

Hell yeah! :)
Granted - they really should only be on cars that they were 'designed' on. Getting a set of black Ralliart flaps was the first purchase I made for the Evo when I got it.
I do like the little stubby ones too that are moulded to the arches of many cars though. Would have been nice...
Haven't used it on the Evo yet - but I did on the Clio last night. The run-off made the ground look like a bloody abattoir afterwards. Just a shame about the smell of it - its rank!
Good stuff on the beading! :)

How do! :approve:
Thought it was a Trophy as I pulled up to the lights - then spotted the reg plate when the car in front of me turned.
How's Dave with his car? I hope he's managed to keep it clean after all your hard work the other week?!

Noticed that too - arrogant sod - assuming he said nothing elsewhere?
Failing that, I'd radio the co-driver when they were a few miles down the road and tell them I have seven bolts in my pocket, that look fairly 'important'.

Company of Heroes (still) and I finished the Alien campaign on AvP - which is excellent. I normally hate pissing about in the shadows and hiding, etc. But running into a room, smashing the lights and then leaping onto the ceiling in wait for a gormless marine to pass underneath, simply didn't...
Lolz!
I left the older version of System Monitor installed, but updated the graphics drivers to the latest version. I'm guessing SM doesn't like me doing that....
