Don't think it is, I just saw someone mentioning it. But if there is then I deserve cause I'm great.

Its a bit late for this year but a secret santa pool would be an interesting idea.
Some car related stuff for random posters for about a tenner.

That's actually a good idea (in my opinion).

It is a good idea but should be restricted to established posters, and I can imagine it might be a bit of a headache for the mod team if anything went wrong.

That being said, there's a great clan spirit amongst most of those who post regularly on here so I can see that with enough notice, it would work maybe for next year? Opinions of the rust of the forum should be polled!

Just saw a lovely Chevy Camaro SS in Bumblebee trim, very cute and certainly stands out where I am as most of the cars are Fiat Palios or Chevy Celtas. I have a Chevy Spin as a rental which is a bit like a low spec Zafira with all the useful bits removed.

Where in the world am I?

I would guess somewhere in Latin America.
Possibly Mexico or maybe Brazil? The Fiat Palios would be the biggest clue anyway.

Just looked up those cars, both the Chevy Celta and Fiat Palio rated highly unsafe by Latin NCAP. I hope your yoke is better rated.

The rumour is that it has neons wired arseways or something...so it's a shame it didn't go completely up for that alone

Alanstrainor

Surely you'd never truly get the smell of burning out of that...and the underside of the bonnet is probably in a state!

Fools and their money....

On a 166? Clocked upwards maybe. Because that would be expensive if genuine. 20 timing belt changed or so.

Is that your man of Dublin meets car? I heard a different rumour

I've just had a great day! Bx is fully sorted and running like a dream. Got it up on ramps today and it's mint underneath. No rust which is very rare.

Came on to say the same, definitely his. Not sure how he'll sell it to be honest.

It's definitely a 166 I just don't believe the mileage.

Gave myself a nice Christmas present today. A kerbed alloy.

Did pretty well to get a year out of them with no marks, no give with low profiles.

In the truck? Whereabouts?

Also, what would people recommend for new main bulbs? E39 headlights aren't great to be honest. Was thinking Osrams.

I didn't doubt you that it was a 166, ye alfisters tend to know your italian (male) models!:pac:

I do however as you do doubt the mileage.

If you can't turn in that forecourt you can't turn in any :pac:

I will say, the fuel there is dirt cheap, not sure how they're doing it, the two other Maxols they own are around 5/6 cent dearer!
