Re: Let's talk about cars

I've been approaching my driving all wrong.

I was under the impression that I got in, drove somewhere and tried to enjoy it as much as possible. Irrespective of certain other factors.
But now I...

Re: Let's talk about cars

That's very nice of you, I wouldn't let that under my truck let alone in it.

Think of the contamination!

The P Zero Neros aren't bad tyres.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I've seen some pigeon shit welding in my time trust me. :lol:
But mine isn't because I can't see to do it, it's because it would cause me to not be able to see afterwards. And I don't feel like...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I think you missed the important bit Bob, this "(nor can I cos of eye condition)" , I can weld, I find it pretty easy when I've had to do it. But I don't class that as mastering it (even though I...

Re: Let's talk about cars

So I guess you're using taper roller bearings on something then.

Ah, just read back a little, input shaft bearing would be the one I suspect.

Re: Let's talk about cars

And it is one I never thought I'd ever manage until the 2.2 CDTi arrived. It is clearly the devil's work. :thumbsup:

Re: Let's talk about cars

It is definitely a lot more than an alliance.
If you pull parts off a lot of Nissans you will have Renault parts in your hands.

My brother-in-law has had a Megane he bought new 10 years ago. It...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The lack of French cars does make the US even more attractive.
Apart from the lack of income you can make on repairing them.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I missed the old Ford convo a few pages back :-(
My first car was a Mk2 Esky. A Friday afternoon special.
A 1.3 Ghia loaded with RS bits straight from Dagenham, wheels, brakes, suspension, seats,...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I'd agree with Bob.

But I'd say the people carrier is far more likely to have been abused than any sports car

Re: Let's talk about cars

The Honda Odyssey isa very fine choice in that type of vehicle:thumbup:


Instead of the obvious 'stang/Camaro options havea look at the Dodge Charger/Challenger offerings. That would probably be...

Re: Let's talk about cars

My H van now has green valve caps as it has the wheels off one of our race cars, the guy at my local is never quite sure why I've never topped them up with nitrogen while I'm there.

Not many...

Re: Let's talk about cars

That's odd because most Honda 'enthusiasts' think Honda parts are extremely good and the only reason not to get them is the cost.
All parts are manufacturer dependent and some have a different...

Re: Let's talk about cars

We use Nitrogen in the tyres on the race car... if we remember.

Indeed the flawed characters are what makes the sport.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Have you seen the movie Senna ?
I started to watch it the other night but wasn't in the right frame of mind.
Will watch it when I am in the mood for being upset I guess.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Quite possibly, although Willliams is definitely the apprentice.

CC wasn't an overly pleasant chap you know ;) Too obsessed with the car and not the drivers.
