I'd still bet you'd try to get her in your car and interview her First question "Does this taste like rohypnol?"

I remember years back when my oldest daughter was just a toddler, we were in a small back street tyre place getting a puncture fixed. I then got the tap on the leg from her saying how she needed the toilet. Went into the 'customer' toilet and it looked similar to the one above. I'll not go into the gory details but ended up cradling her while she depth charged the bog as there was no way any contact with the seat was happening! It was a most traumatic experience early on in my amateur career as a dad. One I'll never forget.

A superb car that’s a bit different from the rest. The car has been owned by me for the last 12 months and prior to that by a WSCC member who extensively improved the car during his tenure. I bought the car with 9,597 miles and it has now done 10,578 miles. I am the forth owner. The car will be missed and is in near perfect condition. The car comes with a full pack of receipts for each and every purchase, since original build. I have a detailed log of all the servicing and works that has been done to the car. I have a copy of all the MOT's. The current Mot expires on 10/12/19 . Based on the Sierra single donor vehicle kit and first registered in 2009. Literally thousands have been spent on this car (with receipts to prove). When the previous owner first bought the car he took it to Northampton Motorsport for a thorough check-over and engine re-map, with the aim of ensuring reliability. The eventual bill was £2,245.00, but it’s been reliable ever since. The works at NMS included a new fuel filter, new starter motor, replaced engine pulleys and belt, new alternator, replacement temperature sensor, new battery, steering rack gators and a full set-up. All the suspension bushes have been replaced for nylon items, the front wishbones changed and Tillet seats fitted at Neil Garner Motorsport. The bill was £2,439 but these works drastically improved the handling of the car and addressed an inherent maintenance issue with the Sierra SDV's wide track. In 2015 the car was taken to Blink motorsport for the engine to be improved. The cams were replaced, the head was ported and polished, the throttle bodies were changed for longer items for improved torque (with new filer) and the cambelt was changed. The bill was £2,215, but the power increased to 182 bhp and 146 lb/ft. The car then went to Clear Motorsport to have ‘Playskool’ anti-roll bar’s fitted front and rear, along with new springs fitted to compliment the chassis changes and a full set-up. The car has a genuinely superb balance as a result. Since then the car was professionally maintained by Corinium Motorsport until my ownership a year ago. I have maintained the car to a very high standard with the help of a skilled Motorsport Engineer and I returned the car to the rolling road in April of this year where it achieved 181.6 bhp and 133.4 lbf.ft Dyno,print out sheets available. This car would make a great all round road, track or competition car. The car has always been run on super unleaded. Specification as follows: Engine, Cooling, gearbox and exhaust: 1.8 litre Ford Zetec with ‘Type 9’ gearbox. Jenvey throttle bodies (with long throttle body trumpets), polished and ported cylinder head and uprated cams by BLINK Motorsport, producing a proven 182 bhp and 146 lb/ft. Omex 600 ECU. Wrapped headers and carbon fibre exhaust (approx. 96 DB so will pass trackday noise tests). Raceline baffled sump and Raceline water rail cooling system. Cambelt recently changed.

Top car Padraig. Spot on.

I am looking for an intake manifold to suit CBR900 Carbs to 2.0 black top application. I know I can get from from DanST but thought I would test the water on here first thanks in advance

I saw a car with a split personality engine at the Sunday Scramble - Bicester Heritage event this morning: Two 3.6 litre six cylinder Jaguar engines mated and this is the unholy result: the Carbodies Medusa

Welcome! ...and nice Capri!

And that's just the ladies lav

If that show there ideas, they need to sit in A dark room with no windows and have a chat with there self, what a pile of s##t.

We met in Baslow and promptly dumped Big Foot as Dave jumped into Andrew's car. We took a short drive in search of coffee and a real fire, with a cracking view out of the window. The driver of the SEiGHT parked in the safe and correct manner and I parked like I was on the sea front, only we don't have any sea in Derbyshire, well not in the last 330 million years anyway. The view The pub dates back to 1597 is claimed to be the highest pub in Derbyshire at 1300 feet. (Cat and Fiddle is in Cheshire - just) It has a real fire And barmaids that make you laugh. 'Come and have a sit in my car', I offered, so she did. Her reaction? 'there are no doors, there is no roof, urgh, I couldn't sit in that all day'. Oh dear. She was polishing the copper pots and was a bit concerned that she might get polish in the coffee, don't worry, we had cat poo (Kopi Luwak) on the go last week, polish is the last of our worries. Next we went not to the Knights Table, but to the Rambler Inn, a slight change of plan. Dave just about managed to get his grinning face into the car, I would say he was enjoying it rather a lot. We took a route up the Winnats Pass and down Mam Nick, taking in some of the best scenery the Peak District has to offer. The Rambler Inn No reverse parking today. Kinder Scout in the background. The Great Ridge in the foreground Some had healthy salad And some needed crampons to climb their lunch. The Mam Tor burger. Is this a left hand drive Westfield or has Dave got in the wrong side? Watch this space there could be a Honda engine for sale soon. After lunch Andrew demanded dessert and it would have been rude to refuse after he had come all this way, so we went to the pool cafe in Hathersage, a regular haunt for Glen and I after we have taken up our new hobby of outdoor swimming. It just happens to have a nice cafe attached to it. The outdoor pool The inevitable happened, millionaires shortbread, rhubarb flapjack and fresh baked scones. A great big thank you has to go to Andrew today, not just for driving 2 hours to get to the start point, but for inviting Dave to share his car too. I think Dave now wants heated seats and a change of engine. Thank you to Dave for putting the current upgrades on hold for a day and here's to V8's and plenty of bridges to drive under.

How do you know you’re talking to a Vegan? Dont worry, they’ll tell you.

I think it's unfair and almost racially stereotypical to assume they've got military intentions. Surely they're just gonna open a take away...?

Hmmm, most cars then have a split personality, if you want to sit back and enjoy the ride; you have a passenger seat. If you want to drive; you sit on the other side. Great concept
