What does everyone here use to post photos on to boards? Im using imageshack.us but it was only a 30 day trial which is now up - and I found that the photos were coming out very big when I posted them on to boards. Recommendations?

I was really looking forward to the SD1 episode but it was ****e. I did watch The Liver Run again after which more than made up for it.

Been watching reruns of old Wheeler Dealers. It's reminded me of how rubbish the latest series is.

The liver run was something else in all fairness - some awesome team work there. Fabulous driving - cool cars, a life saved.

What more could one want

Judging by the commentary - the surgical team actually started the operation before knowing for sure if the liver would make it.

Anyone on here who hasn't seen it - its recommended viewing

Anyone know does your average motor factors sell the gadget for plugging tubeless tires (screwdriver thing with the hole in it, and strings covered in tar type stuff) ?

A lad I work with swears by the things so I'd say they do.

Anyone ever see/hear of a bmw 645ci? Was behind one for a while this evening. First I heard of it.

It's probably not a strange car... but I'm not up to date with beemers!

Pretty common V8 in that car! 645Ci was early model and 645i was late model

We have that set somewhere in the shed. It was a motor factors my dad got it in a few years ago iirc. Handy for plugging a trailer tyre or whatever. I personally wouldn't put it near a car tyre though.

I will eventually have to buy a second car so I can put the Chaser on a Classic policy, but for me to have a second car I would want it to be cheap, The smart Roadster is looking like the best option right now, I like the look and the drive is meant to be nice, also only 199 euro tax a year.

There were a lot of recalls to fix this problem, this is why the car is seen as a Failure for the company even though it sold almost double the number they expected. I will definitely have to check for water damage when buying.

I was not aware there was recalls..

From Wiki

Both the Roadster and Roadster Coupé are available in Brabus-tuned versions with power increased to 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp). The Brabus versions have a different twin sports exhaust, lower suspension, polished six-spoke aluminum alloy Monoblock VI 17" wheels (205/40 ZR17 at the front and 225/35 ZR17 at the rear), front spoiler, side skirts and radiator grille.

Go for the Brabus version.

Also isn't all the roadsters turbo charged?

well i not chasing hp as thats what my other car is for however if I could find Brabus for the same price as the regular ones then I will jump at it.

Or... what about something like this so??? Id imagine it would surprise a few people...

I always wanted one..

(Also help keep the toyota flag flying)

Chris_Heilong · 05-05-2015 10:32AM

^^^^
Thats is a cool car but I want something a bit mad looking.

I got an insurance quote of 330 on the Roadster so its making even more sense than before.

Fair..

But the roadster isn't a Toyota.. Maybe it's just me but if I had two cars they would have to be the same make... Il admit im slightly OCD.

Alanstrainor · 05-05-2015 10:34AM

The day before the NCT the bonnet release half broke...was pleasantly surprised that the new part from BMW was only 20 quid, so I'll be fitting that this evening.

Still haven't ordered new kidney grills. I'm a bit poor this month, so I might have to wait!

i believe the ncp13 chassis is lower as standard than the ncp10 yaris... i fitted 30mm springs intended for a normal yaris in my ncp13 and it gave as much drop as a man could want, arches were just on top of the tyres and it scraped on most speed bumps :pac:.

Recently I've been getting a real itch for a Lexus LS430....
Am I mad?
