Didn't take long!

I suppose some people just like anolog cars, music, film fires or whatever and other like computer chiped, binary, automatic versions of the same.

I shall end today with a quote :pac: .

"We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost".

I washed my car today and front bumper and number plates was covered in flies as well. I was scrubbing with the sponge for ages and they wouldn't come off.

It's like the cast of bugs life have come to shoot a sequel... :pac:

colour coding them would be stink. never seen it go well. rough them up with a mid grade sand paper and give them two or three coats of matte black, gives that nice new OEM finish.

Why thank you

And yes it is :pac: but i love it so much

Also i've probably saved a heap by doing stuff myself, a crowd wanted like 700 for the sump drop, and i done it for 120

Toyotafanboi

Phase one :pac:

In all seriouslyness, Sony's new offerings seem to have a lot of Canon/Nikon folk switching over and using lens adapters.

And in car-related goodness, I now have a working m-sport alcantara electric interior Few slight issues to address, but nothing major

Yeah tell us and the internet where your car is parked ?

It's not parked there. I was just visiting. Somewhere in the Midlands.

CianRyan wrote: »

Mmm, film.

Indeed. Film does do interesting things. It's a 42 year old Minolta camera, still in perfect working order. I'm no photographer, but it's nice to just use something that old the way it was meant to be used rather than leaving it sitting on the shelf gathering dust.

Like classic cars really.

Were ye all stupid enough to do engineering as well? or just the misfortune that is Mechanics of Solids being part of the courses?

No nothing gets done on building sites because the actualy people who build them are too lazy to get their arse in gear when they need to :P

Another Archhitectural Techie here... can hardly stand one hour of engineering per week.

what exactly are you trying to swap on the volvo? might as well post up and get a few opinions anyway.

So, subscribing to "classic american" car magazine was a bad idea. It is full of cars for sale. I think the credit card is going in the freezer!

These guys for instance.

Was driving beside KCR on Saturday when a tin of white paint hopped out of the boot of the car in front of me. Luckily I only managed to drive over a little bit of spilled paint, but I still managed to get some where it came off the tyres.

Any ideas on how to get the paint off my paintwork safely?

There should be a lovely tyre tread pattern on the road there now :rolleyes:
