    I was looking up carina e cars on wikipedia and seen this car
    Toyota_Carina_2000GT

    Never seen one before. Reminds me of an Americain muscle car.

    Yeah my brain did that once in the first week of owning the GTI. I buried my face in the steering wheel. Amazed I don't have the VW logo embossed on my forehead.

    I don't often drive autos so when I do it happens to me when coming to a stop the first time or slowing for a roundabout. Never happens on gear changes though.

    I did something twice yesterday that I have never once done before. I went to move off forgetting that the handbrake was still applied. Can't understand how I've never done it before and then for it to happen twice in 1 day.

    Did that twice in my driving test (well didn't put it down fully). Still passed though!

    Thats the one thing you got from that :)

    Old trick when you have a leaky rad. Egg coagulates and blocks hole. Rarely works and would never do it to a proper car :eek:

    I enjoyed the rest, that just confused me. :p

    I intend on getting a BM track slut at some stage, I'll remember that for when I plant it in the tyres. :D

    I managed to stall the car not once, but three times yesterday. I don't think I was thinking right. The first time was actually in reaction to a taxi in front that was failing miserably at a hill start and rolling back towards me. I was trying to get the car out of there quickly and failed. :( The driver in front pulled off right before he got too close.

    Ha ha it never works man. Seriously I never understand where he gets his ideas!
    It does be some fun though! The Jim Kana one from a few months ago is verging on 12,000 views!

    Porridge oats works better. Sealed up a leaky rad on a Kubota temporally well enough

    Does anyone know if alloys have names?

    For example, if i wanted to look for an alloy that was something similar to these:

    Volkswagen Golf:

    Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Malaysia_Special_Edition_1.jpg


    or these

    Skoda Octavia VRS (According to eBay, anyway. Googling doesn't bring them up)


    MODAV%20281%20BPF%2018.jpg



    Would they have a general name or style (to make them easier to google or such)?

    They do have names.

    The name of those GTI wheels is on the tip of my tongue. Monzas, I Think.
