Went to southend on me own last night as the imoc MR2 people couldn't be arsed to meet up even though they said they'd come. anyway found some MR2 people on the sea front to chat to and about a billion scooby's but the biggest surprise was a few American style hot rods! they looked and sounded well good but were driving past sadly, if they were parked up i'd of gone and had a look. saw a couple...

I watched the video of Tiff Needel driving the Ford Puma around a wet track again today. He got the car massively sideways (I'd say about the same as he got the RWD M5). Any ideas on how he managed it? P'raps I need to get someone to watch me make the car go sideways to tell me how sideways I am... Or maybe I need to practice a lot. On an empty runway. :P

....guys shouldn't name their cars and MR2's are gay/for hairdressers :) Top Gear says so ;) Not that we didn't all know that already... -- Dan

looking for some rear lights for my kit car. want to get hold of some of these: http://www.vincenthurricane.co.uk/Gallery/Cars/SHR928J.htm apparently they are early Opel manta lights. But where do I get some from? They are also a bit light like the lights on the Ferrari 308 and 325

having a bit of a meetup tonight in Chelmsford in the Riverside car park and maybe a quick drink at the riverside inn while we're there. was posted in the imoc events but if you have a jap car then bring it alone as it's open to any jap cars really. check imoc.co.uk out and it's in the events section for more info that's it really :)

Just making sure! ;) We were in /checks map - we did John O'Groats to Lands End you see/ somewhere in Exmoor. Cool. I drove up to Edinburgh the other day (M1, then A1/A1(M) to the bitter end), and was just thinking what a great idea a motoring holiday would be. One day I'd seriously love to investigate driving to Australia. Ok, so it'd take a while, and require absolutely **** loads of...

Out of interest Steve, was that the one I told you about? Sorry if it was! Nah. I'll let you off ;-) Was that one I mentioned a 16v, just out of interest? Surely Hampshire's going to be less than 4 hours away from you! Erm, dunno if it's a 16v or not..... you didn't get that info......

If you haven't actually got the money yet the transaction is not complete, just ask them not to include payment protection.

hi goto: http://www.invoauto.co.uk/movies/titanium3gen.MPG this is the kinda noise i want for my 1993 honda civic LSI 1.5. it's gonna be a standard engine with full (most probably manifold & de-cat) exhaust system, and induction kit of some sort (HKS, blitz, K&N etc) to get the noise in the link is it major £££ spent on engine, or is it a certain exhaust type or what?

always reset the setting on anything electronic especially mobile phones as you might get a e-mail like this :) "Phone works with my SIM OK. I've already got the manual from my phone which packed up. Perhaps you could tell me how to remove the message which pops up when I switch on though. It says "Bad Motherf***er" Many thanks

is a sooty exhaust a sign that you should be running coller or hotter spark plugs on a turbo car?

Four of us had to descend a steep 25% hill over two miles, sadly stuck behind an inconsiderate git in a Civic, who wouldn't let us pass, between 10 and 20 mph on the brakes all of the time, even in the straight bits.
