Re: What did you do today?
I have, this very morning, been out and sanded down my wheel arches! Okay, that sounds a tad dramatic when what I actually did was sand down about an inch of inner wheel arch where I had noticed incipient rust when I waxoyled the arches. It is where Mercs start to rust so better to catch it early? T...

Re: What did you do today?
I took the SLK for a regas of the air con. Local place had a special offer of £39.95 for the full service and as my air con is less than frosty and AC is a HUGE bonus in the damp and wet conditions we are shortly going to have lots of (even though I always have the AC on and the roof down, trying to...

Re: Welcome Xtriple
Chester bless him is my constant shadow nowadays, in fact, I am lying on the floor typing this and he is under the duvet with his head on my bum (he's a brave mutt it has to be said!). I need to slim him down a bit: as I feel guilty about things I have been spoiling them both and his belly has becom...

Re: Welcome Xtriple
I am in two minds (and two camps!) about the split. Mainly, I think it's a crying shame. AS was a great forum with friendly and knowledgable people and lots of great content. However, there were 'factions' within and cliques aplenty which I don't like but accept that in any walk of life they will de...

Re: Indecision : a spectral fleet thread
I love old Granadas. So there... I had each and every version up to the MK3 in all flavours from basic 2.0L to Grannie Ghia X and enjoyed each one. I had a lovely MK1 3.0 litre Ghia in white with a brown vinyl roof that was a brilliant car and I sold it to a wedding car company. Ran a MK 2 2.8 'X' f...

Re: Out of Jap Tat : a spectral fleet thread
My 'new' car has a 7-speed automatic gearbox and it is, fookin' awesome! It is responsive or slushy depending on what you want it to do or it can be a manual(ish) with flappy paddles behind the steering wheel. It is soooooo much better than the archaic 3 speed in the Jag it is just untrue... mainly ...

Re: Out of Jap Tat : a spectral fleet thread
I have a fucked spine (big time and in grand style) and while I can drive a manual it hurts like a bastard and continues to do so for days after, so I don't if I can possibly help it.
Automatic gearboxes and leather upholstery are for life's winners and the choice of them should be applauded

Re: Welcome Xtriple
No idea why I have never liked Hubnut. Good to have a place where I can be as vile and appaling as I really am without having to pretend to be at least part human!
